I’m A Celeb star Alan Halsall‘s ex-wife Lucy-Jo Hudson has broken her silence after he opened up about their divorce in camp.
The actor divorced his former Coronation Street co-star, who played Katy Harris, in 2018, and together they share 11-year-old daughter Sienna-Rae.
After Alan, who plays Tyrone Dobbs in the ITV soap, revealed he was now ‘more than content being single’ Lucy-Jo took to Instagram with a video message to her followers.
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.’
She went on to say: ‘Second of all, myself and [Partner Lewis Devine] will be sat down with Sienna watching the jungle. We wish him nothing but the best.’
‘We are going to be there for Sienna supporting her throughout this journey because, yes, she’s going to miss her dad. He’s in her life all the time, so this is quite a strange thing.’
During Tuesday’s I’m A Celeb Alan told Dean McCullough about his split, Alan said: ‘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 and Alan split after nearly nine years of marriage; it was revealed that she’d embarked on a relationship with Lewis Devine just two months later, together they now share son Carter, three.
However, she didn’t go public with her romance until October of that year, taking to Instagram to share a gushing post dedicated to her boyfriend, with whom she shared the stage in Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs pantomime in 2017.
In 2020 Alan seemingly lashed out at his ex-wife’s boyfriend after he referred to the former couple’s daughter Sienna-Rae as his own.
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

The actor appeared to make a remark in response to Lewis’ gushing post following the birth of his and Lucy-Jo’s son.
Amid his excitement at becoming a new dad, Lewis heaped praise on Lucy-Jo and Alan’s daughter Sienna, with part of his statement reading: ‘Our Sienna is delighted and is already making the best big sister, just like I knew she would!’
In a now-deleted Instagram post viewed by The Sun, Alan didn’t appear to take too kindly to Lewis’ use of the word ‘our’ and seemed to hit back at his ex’s new partner.
He wrote: ‘You’re welcome to keep the lying cheating one & call her your own! But not my daughter.’
Alan revealed that he embarked on a healthier lifestyle with strict diet and gruelling workouts.
In 2019 the soap star told The Sun that he goes to the gym at least three times a week, and undertakes 2.5k on the treadmill, bike, rowing machine and cross trainer.

Alan underwent an incredible body transformation in recent years after embarking on a healthier lifestyle amid his divorce (left pictured 2019, right in 2007)
He told the publication at the time: ‘I’ve transformed a little bit myself and people have seen that’.
‘I like to come [to the gym). I have a pre-workout meal, I work out, then I have a post-workout meal or a swim and a steam’.
He often shares snaps of his gym sessions to Instagram alongside co-star Colson Smith, 26, who has himself lost a staggering 10st.
