I'm A Celebrity's Alan Halsall lifts lid on family life after split with Lucy-Jo Hudson

I'm A Celebrity star Alan Halsall opened up about his daughter's desire to become an actor just like her parents.

Alan was married to Lucy-Jo Hudson from 2009 to 2018. During their marriage, they welcomed a child called Sienna-Rae in 2013. Lucy-Jo is also an actress and is known for her role as Katy Harris in Coronation Street and Rosie in Wild at Heart. Meanwhile, Alan has been Tyrone Dobbs in Corrie since 1998.

During the recent episode of I'm A Celeb, Alan talked to his campmates about his daughter wanting to follow in his and Lucy-Jo's footsteps. He said: "It's hard for your kids to grow up and see a successful father and not want to go for that... My little girl's got myself and her mum so she wants to be an actor."

He then referred to WAG Coleen Rooney as an example. Alan said: "She's got four lads who play football. Sienna says to me, 'You're job is so easy. If you get it wrong, you just do it again'."

It comes after Lucy-Jo took to Instagram to tell fans that there is no bad blood between her and Alan. He recently touched upon his marriage to Lucy-Jo while opening up to his campmates. Soon after the bonding moment, Lucy-Jo shared a long post on social media to tell her own side of the story.

"Just wanted to put the record straight. First of all, me and my ex have been divorced for seven years. I actually can't believe it's a topic of conversation because it's pretty boring,” she wrote. Lucy-Jo also addressed her co-parenting situation with Alan.

She continued: "We share Sienna 50/50. We communicate. She's a happy kid,” she said, adding: “We get on great. We have to work out weekends what we're swapping, certain days he wants, certain days I want. We're constantly communicating because it's important for Sienna and to plan what we're doing.

"We don't want her missing out so we change things for each other." Ending her statement, Lucy-Jo spoke about her new partner, Lewis Devine, with whom she shares a son, Carter, born in 2020. The actress concluded on a happy note, saying that the blended family were all behind Alan on I’m a Celeb.

"Second of all, myself and Lewis will be sat down with Sienna watching the jungle. We wish him nothing but the best,” she said.
