Nov 19, 2024 at 8:25 PM
Alan Halsall, the beloved actor from Coronation Street, has opened up about his split from his former Corrie co-star Lucy-Jo Hudson. This comes during the third day in camp as the celebrities start sharing details about their romance lives. Tulisa revealed she's been celibate for three years, GK Barry spoke about coming out to her parents, and Coleen Rooney reflected on the early days of her marriage to Wayne. Halsall, who plays Tyrone in Coronation Street, admitted he has never used dating apps. He and Hudson got married in 2009 after she left Corrie in 2005. They share their 11-year-old daughter Sienna-Rae, and they split up after Sienna was born. He said, "I love just being dad." He added, "I've never done dating apps, I don't even know what I'd do!" The Corrie stars split in 2018 after nearly nine years of marriage.

Love Lives in the I'm a Celebrity Jungle

GK Barry bravely put her heart on the line by talking about her romance with footballer Ella Rutherford for the first time in the jungle. She told the camp, "It was by accident I found Ella, through a mutual friend and then I really liked her the first day I met her but I'd never told my parents." Elsewhere in the show, Tulisa didn't mind sharing that she isn't an overly sexualised person. She said, "I'm a slow, slow burner, I've been celibate for over three years."

Details of the Split

Halsall's split from Hudson is a significant event in his life. They got married at a time when their careers were taking different paths. After Sienna was born, they decided to part ways. This decision has had an impact on Halsall's life as a father. He now focuses on being a good dad to Sienna-Rae.

Impact on His Life

The split has also led Halsall to reflect on his dating life. He admitted that he has never used dating apps and doesn't know what he would do if he were to start dating again. This shows his honesty and vulnerability in sharing his feelings with the other celebrities in the camp.

Other Highlights from the Show

One of the biggest talking points from the show was Dean McCullough shouting "I'm a Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here" during the trial after only getting two stars. Ant and Dec gave him the questions they would have asked him in the trial The Sinister Sarcophagus — and he would have got them right, meaning he would have got more meals for camp. He wailed as he undertook the Bushtucker trial in Tuesday's episode — and unsurprisingly he is now doing the next Bushtucker trial Drown in the Dumps with GK Barry. Initially McCullough won viewers over when he called Coleen Rooney by her nickname "Wagatha Christie" on their first meeting but he was voted to do the trial after irritating some viewers. Among the complaints was Rooney's rival Rebekah Vardy who blasted McCoughlin as "irritating" and "tiresome" in her latest newspaper column for The Sun. She doesn't like how he's been — in her words — "cosying up to Coleen."

Dean's Trial Experience

Dean's experience in the trials was a rollercoaster of emotions. He was initially excited to take on the challenges but was disappointed when he only got two stars. His reaction during the trial was a mix of frustration and determination. He hit back at Ant and Dec, making them laugh even more.

Impact on the Camp

Dean's trial had an impact on the entire camp. The other celebrities were concerned about his well-being and were rooting for him to do well. His decision to do the next trial with GK Barry added an extra element of excitement to the show.

At 17!"GK Barry admits she can't tear herself away from the comments. Fellow Loose Women star Jane Moore is quick to question her on why she chooses to read what strangers write about her online. She said, "Would you go into a crowded bar and go up to someone you don't know and say, 'Excuse me, what do you think of me?' " GK Barry said, "No, never." Jane replied, "So then why would you do it online?" However, in the Bush Telegraph, GK Barry admits it's not that easy. She said, "I envy Jane back in the day… You'd have to phone up to make a complaint. Take me back to Jane's day. I miss it. I wasn't born!"
