But in 2018, Alan Halsall and Lucy Jo-Hudson shocked Corrie fans when they announced their split and went on to have quite a public fallout.

Fast forward six years and the pair are still not on speaking terms, with sources telling us the atmosphere between them is ‘as bad as ever’.

And when Alan lands in Australia to take part in I’m A Celebrity, there’s one person you can guarantee will be voting him into the nasty trials.

An insider told us: “Alan and Lucy-Jo are still not on speaking terms.

“If Alan needs anything, he goes through her boyfriend Lewis (Devine).

“They both want the best for their daughter Sienna, but they won’t communicate. Things are as bad as when they fell out.

“Alan still has a few issues with how things went between them when they broke up.”

The insider added: “Alan’s friends are joking that Lucy-Jo will make sure he gets hit by the wringer Donwn Under.”

Alan and Lucy-Jo met on the set of Corrie when she joined as Katy Harris in 2002 and they started dating in 2004.

They tied the knot in 2009 and welcomed their daughter Sienna-Rae in 2013.

They first called time on their marriage in March 2016 before rekindling their romance just months later.

But in 2018, they called it quits for good, and just two months after announcing their breakup, Lucy went public with her new man.

She fell for panto pal Lewis Devine, who played her title character’s best mate Muddles in Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs.

Sources at the time said Alan “felt like a mug and was purged” after getting to know Lewis during the panto run.

Things soured when Lewis called the actor’s daughter Sienna his own on social media.

Furious Alan, wrote in response: “Feel free to keep the lying cheat and call her yours! But not my daughter.”

Lucy later spoke out about Alan’s actions, telling OK!: “I had literally just given birth to Carter when he wrote it so I didn’t see it and my head was somewhere else. He quickly deleted it so he must have regrets the.

“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.”

And Lucy-Jo admitted that co-parenting with the actor can be difficult as they sometimes clash over parenting styles.

She continued: “The thing is, anyone who has a blended family knows it’s not easy. You can’t pretend it is.

“And Alan and I 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 hit back again – this time sharing a photo and writing simply: “No regrets.”

Lucy-Jo left Corrie in 2005 and went on to play prostitute Donna-Marie Quinn in Hollyoaks.

Alan – who still plays Tyrone Dobbs on the soap, moved on with former co-star Tisha Merry but they split earlier this year.

Lucy and Alan’s representatives have been contacted for comment.
