Lucy-Jo Hudson shared an insight to her relationship with ex-husband Alan Halsall ahead of his appearance on .
Hours before viewers watched the actor, 42, enter the jungle, Lucy explained that she wanted to “set the record straight” regarding her former partner.
“First of all, me and my ex have been divorced seven years,” the former star began. “I actually can’t believe it’s a topic of conversation because it’s pretty boring.”
The 41-year-old continued: “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.”

Expressing her support for Alan, Lucy went on: “Second of all, myself and Lewis 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.”
“He is who he is to you guys, but for Sienna, it’s her dad and we’re supporting her through that” the former soap star concluded.
She captioned the video: “Just wanted to put the record straight.”
Alan, best known for playing Tyrone Dobbs, met Lucy on the set of the ITV soap in 2002 when she landed the role of Katy Harris, with the actors starting a romantic relationship two years later.

After tying the knot in 2009 and welcoming Sienna four years later, the couple announced they were separating in 2016.
They later reconciled, however, ultimately split for good in 2018. Lucy has since found love again with Lewis Devine, whom she first met when they appeared together in a pantomime in 2017.
In 2020, Lucy announced that she had given birth to a baby boy named Carter.
Alan made his debut on the launch show on Sunday evening (November 17). During the first challenge, Alan was chosen by N-Dubz star Tulisa Contostavlos to be her partner.
The duo ended up beating their fellow celebrities, meaning they were given extra luxuries in camp and were exempt from doing the first bushtucker trial.
