Coronation Street’s Alan Halsall has re-shared a heartfelt photo with his partner Ellie Dolan. Alan is best known for playing Tyrone Dobbs in the hit ITV soap and has been a regular on our screens since taking on the role back in 1998. The actor often shares aspects of his life to his followers on Instagram.
His on-screen counterpart found himself at the centre of the drama in Weatherfield last week when he fell victim to a terrifying hit and run accident. Betsy Swain witnessed the horrific incident on the night of her 18th birthday, before Tyrone was taken to hospital
The mechanic has suffered a severe spinal injury and is facing a long road to recovery. He recently opened up to his wife Fiz, that he can’t feel or move his legs and may never walk again.
Thankfully, Alan’s life away from the iconic cobbles is far less turbulent. He shares 12-year-old daughter Sienna with his ex-wife and former co-star Lucy-Jo Hudson.
Their marriage lasted almost a decade, tying the knot back in 2009 and parting ways in 2018. Alan also split with his former co-star Tisha Merry, 31, in 2024 after five years together.
Earlier this year, Alan stepped out for the first time with his new partner. He confirmed his romance with HR coordinator Ellie Dolan in May, sharing a photo with a love heart emoji in the caption.
In a more recent update on social media, Ellie shared a stunning photo of herself and Alan, referring to him as “her man”.
The two were in attendance at an awards ceremony, where Alan claimed the prize for “A Legend in Television Acting” at the Legends of Industry Awards.
Ellie posted a snap to her Instagram story, as she smiled for the camera as Alan held the award. She was wearing a stunning burgundy dress, with her partner in a black suit and tie for the formal event.
Ellie shared a proud message as she wrote: “My man won his award” as well as posting a photo of Alan with a loving heart emoji.
