IT looks like things are heating up for Coronation Street star Alan Halsall as he shared a steamy kiss with his stunning girlfriend Ellie Dolan recently.

The ITV star spent New Year’s with his human resources co-ordinator partner and took a loved up snap together.

Ellie took to Instagram to post the picture of them enjoying a passionate kiss as she wrote: “2026 with you.”

He re-posted it on his own page as the pair counted down the seconds for 2026 to ring in, along with some loved ones.

The couple began dating in December 2024 and in May last year, we were told by friends that he was “smitten by her”.

A pal told us at the time: “Alan and Ellie are getting on like a house on fire.

 

“Things are hotting up between them now and they love the time they spend together.

“They’re frequently seen together in the local area and their relationship is the talk of the town.”

Ellie, from Salford, Greater Manchester, is a human resources coordinator at Delta Hotels by Marriott Worsley Park Country Club in Alan’s nearby home town of Worsley.

Golf-mad Alan is a member at the club, where memberships cost up to £1,181. There is also a four-star hotel on site.

 

He split from his Coronation Street co-star Tisha Merry at the beginning of 2024 after five years together.

A source close to the pair revealed Tisha moved out of Alan’s Manchester home in January of that year.

Both Alan and Tisha, who were yoga buddies before they started to date, had dropped subtle hints their romance had ended.

An insider close to the pair had revealed the exact reason they called it a day.

They told The Sun on Sunday: “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.”

Alan, who plays Tyrone Dobbs in Corrie, was married to his former Cobbles co-star Lucy-Jo Hudson, 42, from 2009 to 2018.

They met on the ITV soap, with their on-screen characters getting into a relationship, and they began dating in real life in 2004.

They briefly separated in 2016 and then divorced in 2018, but the pair have remained amicable for the sake of their daughter Sienna.

While appearing on I’m A Celebrity in 2024, he said: “Lucy left Corrie in about 2005, then we got married in 2009. We then split up after Sienna was born.

 

“I love what I’ve got, even now I’m on my own.

“I love just being dad. I’ve never done dating apps.”
