I'm A Celebrity star Alan Halsall's and Lucy Jo Hudson's split and very stormy romance

Former Coronation Street co-stars Alan Halsall and Lucy-Jo Hudson fell head over heels for one another when they first met in 2002, but their love story ended abruptly in 2016

Alan Halsall and Lucy-Jo Hudson were once upon a time one of the soap worlds greatest love stories - but sadly their romance wasn't meant to last.

The former couple are still reportedly ice cold towards each following their explosive divorce - with reports suggesting that Lucy-Jo will be voting for her ex-husband to endure vile tasks on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!

Alan, 42, has been an actor on Coronation Street since 1998 but is taking a break from the soap this month to become one of the 2024 contestants on ITV's I'm A Celeb. The Tyrone Dobbs actor was previously married to Lucy-Jo, 41, after they met on the set of the soap in 2002, began dating in 2004, and swapped vows in 2009.

Their fairytale wedding took place at St Bertoline's Church in Barthomley, Cheshire. The ceremony was attended by many of their fellow Corrie cast, including Samia Longchambon, who plays Maria Connor, Sarah Platt actress Tina O'Brien, and Jane Danson who plays Leanne Battersby.

However, they later broke up and they have had a bitter relationship as exes in the years since. After tying the knot in 2009, Alan and Lucy-Jo welcomed their daughter, Sienna-Rae, four years later. The happy couple shocked fans when they initially split in March 2016 - but they soon reconciled and had another roll of the dice on their romance.

This did not turn out well, however, and they ultimately split for good in 2018 - and relations between the pair deteriorated very quickly and very publicly thereafter. The former couple's marriage had reportedly been struggling for quite some time.

At the time, a source told The Sun: “It’s very amicable but they’ve decided to go their separate ways. Alan’s been joking that he’s having a mid-life crisis and he went and treated himself to a brand new car five days ago. It’s a difficult time for both of them. They’re devastated the marriage is over but have vowed to stay friends. They still really care for each other.”

Following their split announcement, Lucy revealed: "I can confirm Al and I are in the process of divorcing. We remain friends and devoted Mummy and Daddy to our daughter Sienna."

However, Lucy-Jo went public with her relationship with theatre company owner Lewis Devine just weeks after her split with Alan - and the Corrie actor did not react well to the news. Alan erupted online when Lewis made reference to Sienna-Rae as being part of his family. Alan viciously snapped online: “You’re welcome to keep the lying cheating one and call her your own! But not my daughter.”

Lucy-Jo then addressed the outburst, telling OK! Magazine: "I had literally just given birth to Carter when he posted that so I didn’t see it and my head was elsewhere. He quickly deleted it so he must have regretted it. I didn’t bother bringing it up with him. Lew and I were both too focused on Carter so it just didn’t get our attention."

She also revealed that co-parenting with Alan had been a challenge. She told the publication: "The thing is, everybody who has a blended family knows it’s not easy. You can’t pretend that it is. And me and Alan sometimes have different views on raising Sienna so trying to co-parent can be challenging. It’s probably like that for a lot of blended families."

Alan lashed out again over the comments, writing that he had “No regrets” in a social media post. Alan did find love again following his divorce from Lucy-Jo as he fell for Corrie co-star Tisha Merry - but this love proved to be short lived as they split earlier this year.

While Luc-Jo is still i a relationship with Lewis, Alan has also since found love with his former co-star Tisha Merry. The pair were together for five years until 2024 before they called time on their romance.
