Coronation Street star Alan Halsall couldn't have looked happier as he shares a snap of himself at Walt Disney World in Florida. The actor, who is famed for playing Tyrone Dobbs in the ITV soap, has ditched the cobbles for a couple of weeks to enjoy the magic Disney has to offer.

Taking to his Instagram Story, Alan shared a snap of himself alongside his daughter, Sienna-Rae, and his girlfriend, former Corrie co-star Tisha Merry. The trio were grinning from ear-to-ear as they posed outside Cinderella's Castle in the Disney park

Alan, 40, who shares Sienna with his ex-wife, fellow soap star Lucy-Jo Hudson, shared the images alongside a GIF which read: "Make a dream come true," while also setting to the sweet snap to The Mamas track, When You Wish Upon a Star.

The adorable image comes after Lucy-Jo, who now stars in Hollyoaks, shared her sadness at having to wave off her daughter for two weeks as she opened up about having to 'share' the nine-year-old with her former husband.

While Alan is famed for having played mechanic Tyrone for the best part of two decades, it has been 20 years since Lucy-Jo played troubled teenager Katy in Weatherfield. Her dramatic time on the cobbles included her forbidden relationship with older man Martin Platt, which led to her murdering her own dad Tommy with a wrench, her diabetic diagnosis and in her departing storyline she took her own life.

After seven years of marriage, having tied the knot in 2009, the former couple announced that they had separated back in 2016 - saying at the time they would remain close friends. However, on that occasion, they reconciled a month later before splitting again in 2018.
