I'm A Celebrity's Alan Halsall shares emotional reunion with his tearful daughter Sienna, 11, as he lands back in UK - and introduces her to his fellow Northern campmate Coleen Rooney

Alan Halsall embraced his daughter Sienna in an emotional hug as they reunited at Manchester Airport on Wednesday, after spending weeks apart while he appeared on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!.

The Coronation Street star, 42, looked overjoyed as his 11-year-old daughter ran into his arms after he returned to the UK from Australia.

Abandoning his trolley of suitcases, he gave his little girl a big squeeze, as she broke into happy tears to be reunited with her father.

Alan was quick to introduce Sienna to his campmate and fellow Northerner Coleen Rooney, who had caught the same flight home.

Sweet snaps showed the mother-of-four, 38, beaming at the young girl in before wrapping her into a warm hug, while Sienna wiped her tears.

Alan opted for a comfortable outfit for his long-haul flight, wearing a grey hoodie and black jogging bottoms, while adding trainers and a baseball cap.

Alan admitted that both her and Sienna had cried during their first phone call together, following his eviction from the I'm A Celeb camp last week. 

Opening up on their sweet bond, he told The Sun: 'As soon as we got in the car, my brother had his phone out and we FaceTimed. The first ten minutes of the phone call was not much but tears, to be honest — on both sides.

'She’d cry and I’d be crying. She said that she’s missed me, she loves me, she’s proud of me. When she says that she’s proud of me, it could literally make your heart burst. That was a super, super-emotional phone call.'

He revealed that she had gifted him with a friendship bracelet to wear in the jungle and a coin that read: 'Remember I love you, Dad'.

Alan was noticed by fans to make a heart symbol with his hands regularly on the show, which he explained he did to show Sienna that he was thinking of her.

He admitted that he spent a lot of time thinking about her in camp, explaining: 'Because you’ve got time on your hands, no distractions, no phones, no televisions, your mind wanders to those that you love. And, of course, my mind just immediately went to Sienna everyday.

'Just knowing that she’s happy and proud of Dad, that was the biggest thing for me, for sure.'

Alan finished the show in sixth place, being eliminated alongside GK Barry on day 20 of the competition, while McFly's Danny Jones went on to win the ITV show and Coleen placed runner-up.

Alan and Coleen's arrival back home came just a few hours after GK touched down at Heathrow Airport earlier in the day, accompanied by her girlfriend Ella Rutherford.

The TikTok influencer, 25, looked relaxed in a black crop top and loose fitting joggers while walking the arrivals hall after collecting her luggage.

First out of the jungle camp after eliminations began little more than a week ago, Jane Moore was also among first to arrive back in the United Kingdom after a mammoth 23-hour flight from Brisbane.  

The Loose Women panellist, 62, wore an oversized cardigan over a white shirt and flared jeans as she juggled with her cases. 

Alan's reunion with his daughter, comes after his ex-wife and Sienna's mother, Lucy-Jo Hudson broke her silence after he opened up about their divorce on the show.

Like Alan, Lucy-Jo also previously starred in Coronation Street, playing Katy Harris, and they tied the knot in 2009.

However, they then split in 2018, with Alan declaring in camp that he was now 'more than content being single'.

After his comments, Lucy-Jo took to Instagram with a video message to her followers saying: 'Just wanted to put the record straight. First of all, me and my ex have been divorced seven years. I actually can't believe it's a topic of conversation because it's pretty boring.

'We share Sienna 50/50. We communicate. She's a happy kid. We get on great. We have to work out weekends – what we're swapping, certain days he wants, certain days I want.

'We're constantly communicating because it's important for Sienna and to plan what we're doing. We don't want her missing out so we change things for each other.'

She went on to say: 'Second of all, myself and [partner Lewis Devine] will be sat down with Sienna watching the jungle. We wish him nothing but the best.

'We are going to be there for Sienna supporting her throughout this journey because, yes, she's going to miss her dad. He's in her life all the time, so this is quite a strange thing.' 

During I'm A Celeb Alan opened up about his split to Dean McCullough, saying: '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 it when it's me and Sienna and that'll change I'm sure, that'll be different at some point but I've never done dating apps.'
