Who is Alan Halsall's girlfriend?

I'm A Celeb's Alan doesn't appear to have a girlfriend currently, however he was previously in a relationship with his Coronation Street co-star Tisha Merry, who played Steph Britton.

The former couple first met in 2014 but officially began dating in 2019 after Tisha left the soap. Both Alan and Tisha would often share photos of their date nights on Instagram, however, the pair called it quits in early 2024 after five years of dating.

After news of their split broke, a source told The Sun at the time: "Alan and Tisha had a lot of love for each other and had really similar interests, enjoying socialising and going on holiday together.

"But they started to drift apart and feel the pressure of making their relationship work get on top of them. They realised they weren't on the same page and splitting up felt like the best option.

"Tisha moved out of Alan's home around a month ago and is throwing herself into work."

Whilst there have been rumours of a 'feud' between the pair, relations between the former lovebirds appeared to be civil in 2020, with Alan saying in an interview with OK!: "There's always going to be ups and downs with a blended family.

"So long as Sienna comes first in all of it, that's all that matters. Sienna's got her mum and dad, and she's also got Lewis [Lucy-Jo's partner] and Tisha. It's just a case that everybody loves her."

He continued: "Of course there will be differences of opinion; so long as we're in that loving way when Sienna is around.

"We don't have a great deal of communication, it's only ever about Sienna and that's all it ever needs to be."
