The actor was the latest int a long line of soap stars to sign up to the ITV reality show
Alan Halsall has been supported by his Coronation Street co-stars as he issued a funny denial following his return from Australia after I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here.
The actor was the latest in a long line of soap stars to sign up to the ITV reality show. Alan, who is famed for playing Weatherfield’s Tyrone Dobbs, was among the 12 famous faces who took part in the hit jungle-based programme this year, having signed up a year after he had to pull out following surgery for an ACL injury.
He ended up being the seventh campmate to leave the jungle, just behind TikTok star GK Barry, in a double elimination days before the final of the 2024 series, which took place on Sunday (December 8) and saw McFly star Danny Jones crowned king of the jungle.
Following the campmates’ huge reunion, which will feature in the I’m A Celebrity Coming Out show on Friday night (December 13) on ITV, the stars were packing up and headed back home.
And as soon as he stepped foot outside of Manchester Airport, Alan was reunited with his beloved daughter Sienna, who he shares with former Corrie co-star and ex-wife Lucy-Jo Hudson, as she was there to welcome him home after the best part of a month apart.
Alan has since shared a snap which captured their adorable reunion. The 11-year-old could be seen running up to her dad as they embraced before they held hands as they walked out of the airport with huge smiles on their faces.
Alongside the photo, the soap star wrote on Instagram: “My heart is full again. Such a fantastic experience & What an amazing welcome back home from my Beautiful Daughter & my family!” However, he added: “Ps: the cases are not mine,” referring to the trolley of cases being pushed along behind him.
Corrie pal and fellow I’m A Celeb alum Andy Whyment was quick to respond, writing: “Love this bro,” while former Corrie co-star Will Mellor replied: “Love it pal!” Corrie’s Abi Webster star Sally Carman-Duttine replied: “Gorgeous pics!” as Simon Gregson, who plays Steve McDonald on the cobbles, wrote: “Our boy.”
Tood Grimshaw co-star Gareth Pierce shared: “Gorgeous, mate!” while Emmerdale star and former king of the jungle Danny Miller added: “Welcome home mate and a huge well done!!! True to yourself as always my brother and great work on the Ged-promo too.”
