I'm A Celeb's Alan Halsall's ex and former Corrie co-star broke her silence to 'put the record straight' after he talked about their split on the show. The Tyrone Dobbs actor opened up about his divorce and co-parenting journey with ex-wife Lucy-Jo Hudson.

Alan told his campmates: "Lucy left Corrie in about 2005, then we got married in 2009. We then split up after Sienna was born.

"I love what I've got, even now I'm on my own, I love it when it's me and Sienna and that'll change I'm sure, that'll be different at some point but I've never done dating apps."

Lucy-Jo, who played Katy Harris on the ITV soap, took to Instagram following his words. She said: "Just wanted to put the record straight. First of all, me and my ex have been divorced seven years. I actually can't believe it's a topic of conversation because it's pretty boring.

"We share Sienna 50/50. We communicate. She's a happy kid. 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.

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

Lucy-Jo moved on with currently partner Lewis following the split and they welcomed their son in 2020. At the time, Alan shared a brutal message which he quickly deleted.

His retracted post read: "You're welcome to keep the lying cheating one and call her your own! But not my daughter." Lucy-Jo candidly opened up to OK! magazine at the time, admitting: "I had literally just given birth to Carter when he posted that so I didn't see it and my head was elsewhere. He quickly deleted it so he must have regretted it. I didn't bother bringing it up with him."
