After discussing her show’s festive episode, talk turned to her former Corrie co-star Alan, 42, and his experiences in the I’m A Celebrity jungle.

The couple – who share 11-year-old daughter Sienna – shocked fans in 2018 with news of their split after nine years of marriage.

The pair’s tricky relationship then sparked a public fallout.

Now Lucy-Jo, 41, who is loved-up with new man Lewis Devine, has opened up on how they navigated Alan’s jungle stint as a family.

The Tyrone Dobbs actor headed into the ITV reality series this year, often making a heart shape with his hands as a signal to his little girl during his time in camp.

Lucy-Jo told GMB anchors Charlotte Hawkins, 49, and Richard Madeley, 68, how she allowed the schoolgirl to watch his bug-battling antics and admitted: “She loved it.

“She was really, really proud.

“It’s a difficult situation, we are not together and I’m with Lewis, and we spoke about what do we do in the situation because he’s [Alan’s] away, he’s in Australia

“It was important to be there for Sienna and sit down and watch it with her.

“It was so she could enjoy it with someone as well, and the highs and the lows were there for her.

“So she loved it, really proud. He did great.”

Viewers then swooned as Alan shared a sweet snap with Sienna when he landed on home turf.

The Corrie actor could not hold back the tears when he video-called Sienna as soon as he left the camp.

He opened up about his unbreakable bond with Sienna in an exclusive interview with The Sun on Sunday hours after leaving the Aussie camp, where he was met by brother Stephen.

Speaking about his call with Sienna, Alan said: “As soon as we got in the car, my brother had his phone out and we FaceTimed.

“The first ten minutes of the phone call was not much but tears, to be honest — on both sides.

“She’d cry and I’d be crying. She said that she’s missed me, she loves me, she’s proud of me.

“When she says that she’s proud of me, it could literally make your heart burst. That was a super, super-emotional phone call.”

Single dad Alan said: “It just put her first and foremost in my mind, you see, and she always is.”
