I’M A Celebrity star Alan Halsall has enjoyed some much needed quality time with his daughter following his return from the jungle.
Coronation Street star Alan reunited with his little girl Sienna, 11, for a festive trip to the pantomime.
He posted the snaps on social media with his daughter sat on his lap in an adorable embrace. The actor captioned it: “Pre pantomime meal,” along with a GIF saying: “I love my daughter.”
The actor took his little girl Sienna-Rae, who he shares with ex-wife and former Corrie co-star Lucy-Jo Hudson, to see Cinderella at Manchester Opera House.
The father-and-daughter duo then rocked the red carpet in co-ordinated black and white outfits.
On his return from the jungle, he was met at Manchester Airport by his excited daughter.
The Tyrone Dobbs wrote on his Instagram: “My heart is full again,” alongside a heart emoji, referring to their reunion.
The star previously revealed he sobbed uncontrollably while speaking to his daughter for the first time in four weeks after his jungle eviction.
The Corrie actor could not hold back the tears when he video-called 11-year-old Sienna as soon as he left the camp.
Alan had sent a signal to his girl everyday to let her know he was thinking of her — by forming a heart-shaped symbol with his hands during votes.
He opened up about his unbreakable bond with Sienna in an exclusive interview with The Sun on Sunday hours after leaving the Aussie camp, where he was met by brother Stephen.
Speaking about his call with Sienna, Alan said: “As soon as we got in the car, my brother had his phone out and we FaceTimed.
“The first ten minutes of the phone call was not much but tears, to be honest — on both sides.
“She’d cry and I’d be crying. She said that she’s missed me, she loves me, she’s proud of me.
“When she says that she’s proud of me, it could literally make your heart burst. That was a super, super-emotional phone call.”
Single dad Alan said: “It just put her first and foremost in my mind, you see, and she always is.”
Alan shares Sienna with his actress ex-wife Lucy-Jo — whom he met while they were both in the Corrie cast.
The pair tied the knot in June 2009 and welcomed their first child together in 2013.
In May 2018, Lucy-Jo and Alan shocked fans when they announced they were getting divorced.
Their marriage had reportedly been struggling for some time, and saw them split in 2016, before getting back together.
However in November 2024, as Alan headed into the I’m A Celebrity jungle, it was reported they are now “barely speaking” to each other.
An insider told The Sun: “Alan and Lucy-Jo still aren’t on speaking terms.
“If Alan needs anything he goes through her boyfriend Lewis (Devine).
“They both want what’s best for their daughter Sienna but they won’t communicate.
Since 2018, Lucy-Jo has been in a relationship with Lewis Devine, who she met when she was doing panto.
