After spending three weeks in the Australian jungle, Coronation Street's Alan Halsall has finally returned to civilization. The beloved actor recently opened up about his contract renewal for the long-running soap opera, following his stint on the hit reality show I'm A Celebrity.
Having joined the show at the young age of 16 in 1998, Alan has become a staple on the cobbled streets of Weatherfield, playing the lovable character Tyrone Dobbs. And fans will be delighted to know that he will continue to grace their screens for at least another year, as he has signed a new deal that will keep him on the show until 2025.
But before he could sign on the dotted line, Alan took a break from his Corrie duties to participate in I'm A Celebrity, where he swapped the dreary Manchester weather for the sunny Australian coast. It was during his time in the jungle that Alan reflected on his long tenure as Tyrone.
In an interview with The Sun, Alan shared his thoughts on playing the iconic character for so many years. He humbly expressed his gratitude for being a part of such a beloved show, especially coming from his hometown of Salford where he grew up as a fan of Coronation Street. And he couldn't be prouder of his continued involvement in the show.
With his new contract in hand, Alan is looking forward to many more years on the cobbles. And to celebrate, he plans to indulge in a few pints of Guinness. Cheers to that!
Meanwhile, Alan's campmate Danny Jones emerged as the winner of I'm A Celebrity, beating out Reverend Richard Coles and Coleen Rooney in the finale. And while Alan may have missed out on the coveted title, he was just happy to have made it as far as he did.
But now that he's back home, Alan is ready to catch up on all the latest soap drama.
