Coronation Street’s Alan Halsall reveals secret second career and splashes out £100,000 on property
CORONATION Street star Alan Halsall is sinking his cash into a real-life Coronation Street after setting up his own property firm.
The actor, 40, is investing his money wisely after launching his secret second career away from the cobbles.
He has snapped up a modest red brick three-bed terrace for £100,000 and the pad is a dead ringer for the place at 9, Coronation Street where his character Tyrone Dobbs resides.
Alan bought the pad with a mortgage raised against his firm Rae Property Ltd – named in honour of his daughter Sienna-Rae.
An ITV source said: “Alan is planning more homes and if he snaps up a couple more in the road as they become available, he could have his very own Coronation Street.”
The small home might be the double of his on-set gaff, but it is worlds away from the stunning home he shares with his daughter and ex-costar lover Tisha Merry in an upmarket part of the city.

The actor built his dream home, now worth a whopping £750k, with former wife Lucy-Jo Hudson – who also starred in the soap.
The pad boasts a luxury lounge, a grand hallway and a lavish bathroom that has a freestanding bath, plus a monster kitchen and a huge garden.
Tisha - who has her own YouTube channel - has space in the house where she can record her videos.
She also has her own walk-in wardrobe where she can keep all of her clothes and make-up.

In November 2018, Alan shared on Instagram: "Wow exactly a year to the day I moved in to this house that took nearly four years to finish from start to finish.
"So much has happened in that year, but sat here now with my princess asleep in her bed.
"I love this house so much #sograteful."
