Actor Alan Halsall, who is best known for his role as Tyrone Hobbs in ITV's Coronation Street, had his identity stolen in a 'disturbing' move that fooled even his closest friends
Coronation Street star Alan Halsall was reportedly left "furious" after a Facebook fraudster stole his identity. Back in 2010, Alan, who has played Tyrone Hobbs in the ITV1 soap since 1998, was impersonated online by a trickster who posted messages about the actor's private life and Coronation Street storylines.
Alan recently spoke out about his single life for the first time since splitting from long-term girlfriend Tisha Merry, who played Steph Britton on the soap. Taking to Instagram, the actor shared a video of a moment with his daughter Sienna-Rae and a dog as they enjoyed some time outside - sharing that the furry friend was a 'new best friend'. However, the pup then tried to hump the soap star, leading to Alan quipping: "Apparently we're not best friends. Most action I've had in a while ffs fml."
Back in February, Alan and Tisha's split was revealed by The Sun, with a source telling the newspaper: “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.
