Coronation Street’s Alan Halsall makes heartbreaking confession about ‘clearing his mind’ after split with Tisha Merry
CORONATION Street’s Alan Halsall has made a heartbreaking confession about ‘clearing his mind’ after his split from Tisha Merry.
Earlier this month The Sun revealed that the pair, who dated for five years, went their separate ways at the start of 2024.
Before their split was made known, Alan – who has played Tyrone Dobbs since 1998 – opened up about how he was feeling on an Instagram post.
The Manchester-based David Lloyd gym account shared a video about one of their weekly low intensity classes.
The soap star revealed that he was able to “clear his mind” and “felt so relaxed” while doing it.
Alan wrote in the comments section: “It turns out physically I am world-class at doing nothing, but mentally I need to do some work…
“The brief moments I was able to clear my mind I really enjoyed and felt so relaxed.”
Alan and Tisha started dating in 2019 after her time on Corrie as waitress Steph Britton.
The pair reguarly shared what they got up to on Instagram and Tisha moved into Alan’s £750k home.
However they just couldn’t make it work.
An insider told us: “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.
“They’ve been focusing on themselves and surrounding themselves with their own friends.
“Tisha moved out of Alan’s home around a month ago and is throwing herself into work.”
Alan was previously married to Corrie co-star Lucy-Jo Hudson.
The former couple started dating in 2005.
They tied the knot in 2009, but split in 2016.
The pair share a daughter together called Sienna-Rae.
