Coronation Street star Alan Halsall revealed how he earned himself some ‘top girl dad points’ over the weekend before paying an emotional tribute to his daughter.
The actor, who is famed for playing Tyrone Dobbs in the ITV soap, had a busy weekend helping Sienna-Rae celebrate her 11th birthday. It appears Alan pulled out all the stops for his only child and shared a glimpse on his social media.
First taking to his Instagram Story, the soap star revealed he was hosting Sienna and her pals and had set up a row of pink-themed tepees and pyjamas ready for the girls’ arrival before they were also seen enjoying time at the swimming pool and later tucking into takeaway pizzas.
“I earned some top Girl Dad points last night. Sieanna’s 11th birthday party,” he captioned the post before returning to Instagram to share the video compilation of what the group got up to for the birthday girl’s special day on his main Instagram grid.
Alan explained: “Sienna’s sleepover (Although they didn’t sleep that much). Sienna was so excited to have 4 of her awesome friends over and PARTY!!!! (and they did). Swimming, hot tub, tepee beds, trampoline, disco, karaoke, popcorn movie night, Nozeco, the list goes on … but they were a joy & more importantly they LOVED it!! Thanks to My mum @salsa42girl @sleepunder_parties & #Hottubhirewigan.”
He also took to his platform to pay tribute to his little girl, who he shares with ex-wife and former Coronation Street star Lucy-Jo Hudson. Alan shared a string of pictures of himself and Sienna over the years, including as a newborn baby.
Alongside the emotional post, he penned: “Today my beautiful Daughter turned 11. Sienna you are such a beautiful soul, Loving, caring, considerate, compassionate, FUNNY & possibly Bonkers sometimes.
“You make me so proud every single day and watching you grow into the remarkable young lady that you are is my greatest joy. I know growing older at times be scary, but you will always have me to lean on whenever you need me. Happy 11th Birthday Sienna xx Nothing comes close to how much love I have for you, My Beautiful Girl.”
And his efforts for his daughter’s big day didn’t go unnoticed as his fans rushed to respond to his latest post. @michellewardingley said: “Wow Al. That looks like the best birthday party EVER!!” @rfphotography22 commented: “Looks like an amazing party, happy birthday Sienna.”
