Fast forward six years and the pair are still not on speaking terms, with sources telling us the atmosphere between them is ‘as bad as ever’.
And as Alan touches down in Australia to take part in I’m A Celebrity, there is one person you can guarantee will be voting for him to do the nasty trials.
An insider told us: “Alan and Lucy-Jo still aren’t on speaking terms.
“If Alan needs anything he goes through her boyfriend Lewis (Devine).

“They both want what’s best for their daughter Sienna but they won’t communicate. Things are just as bad as when they first fell out.
“Alan still has a few issues with how things played out between them when they split.”
The insider added: “Alan’s pals are joking that Lucy-Jo will make sure he’s put through the wringer Donwn Under.”
Alan and Lucy-Jo met on the set of Corrie when she joined as Katy Harris in 2002 and they began dating in 2004.
They tied the knot in 2009 and in 2013, they welcomed their daughter Sienna- Rae.
They initially called time on their marriage in March 2016, before rekindling their romance just months later.
But in 2018 they called it quits for good and just two months after announcing their break up, Lucy went public with her new man.
She fell for panto pal Lewis Devine, who played her title character’s best mate Muddles in Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs.
Sources at the time said Alan “felt like a mug and was gutted” after getting to know Lewis too during the panto run.
Things turned sour when Lewis called the actor’s daughter Sienna his own on social media.
Furious Alan, posted in response: “You’re welcome to keep the lying cheating one & call her your own! But not my daughter.”

Lucy later spoke out about Alan’s actions and told OK!: “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. Lew and I were both too focused on Carter so it just didn’t get our attention.”
And Lucy-Jo admitted co-parenting with the actor can be difficult as they sometimes clash over parenting styles.
She continued: “The thing is, everybody who has a blended family knows it’s not easy. You can’t pretend that it is.
“And me and Alan sometimes have different views on raising Sienna so trying to co-parent can be challenging. It’s probably like that for a lot of blended families.”
Alan hit back again – this time sharing a picture and simply writing: “No regrets.”
Lucy-Jo left Corrie in 2005 and went on to play prostitute Donna-Marie Quinn in Hollyoaks.
Alan – who still plays Tyrone Dobbs on the soap, moved on with former co-star Tisha Merry but they split earlier this year.
Lucy and Alan’s reps have been contacted for comment.
