Corrie’s Alan Halsall is drowning the pain of his marriage split with a boozy lads’ holiday to Spain
ALAN Halsall is enjoying a boozy holiday in Spain with his pals – just weeks after The Sun revealed he’d split from wife Lucy-Jo Hudson.
The Coronation Street actor and Lucy-Jo had been married for nine years and have a four-year-old daughter called Sienna-Rae.
But Alan – who plays Tyrone Dobbs in the hit ITV soap – seems to be putting the split behind him as he jetted off on his holiday this morning.
He took to social media to complain that he had to be up before 4am for a flight to Barcelona.
He whinged at his mate Ben Lever over the ungodly schedule, saying: “Seriously @leverben you couldn’t find any better flight times?”
But soon after waking Alan was clearly excited about his jollies and he shared a picture of villain Bane from the Batman movie The Dark Knight Rises with the words “let the games begin”.
But the actor had added his one caption to mean let the “drinking games begin”.
And soon after landing he uploaded snap on his Instagram story of him enjoying a giant litre glass of beer in sun in Spain with the words: “Nice small one to start with.”
Alan and Lucy-Jo – who met on the set of the ITV soap in 2002 – had spent the past eight months supervising building work on a five-bed dream home but are now living apart.
Alan, 35, and Doctors star Lucy-Jo, 35, wed in 2009 and have a four-year-old daughter called Sienna-Rae.
A source said: “It’s very amicable but they’ve decided to go their separate ways.
“Alan’s been joking that he’s having a mid-life crisis and he went and treated himself to a brand new car five days ago. It’s a difficult time for both of them.
“They’re devastated the marriage is over but have vowed to stay friends.
“They still really care for each other.”
