Alan Halsall's brother discusses possible romance between Coronation Street star and Tulisa

Alan Halsall's brother has opened up on the idea of a possible romance between the Coronation Street star and his fellow I'm A Celeb campmate Tulisa.

The I'm A Celeb campmates appear to be getting along great in this year's competition - so much so that viewers think something could be potentially brewing between the pair.

In 2018, Halsall divorced his former Corrie co-star, Lucy-Jo Hudson, who played Katy Harris, and they are parents to an 11-year-old daughter together.

Meanwhile, Tulisa claims she has been celibate for the last three years.

With the duo clearly having a laugh together in the jungle, one fan tweeted: "Alan and Tulisa I’d say they will become a couple after this."

"Tulisa and Alan, a new couple?!....(stranger things have happened!)," a second added.

But according the actor's brother Stephen, anything is possible.

In an interview with The Mirror, he said: "You never know do you. I don’t know whether he is looking for a relationship or not?

"You just never know what’s around the corner but she is a nice enough girl."

Tulisa's mate, Michelle McKenna, also added: "I would love her to meet someone…. I love Alan but I think they are little besties in there.

"They would actually make a dead cute couple. We will have to wait and see. And he is a northerner. You never know."

Stephen also had his say on his brother's recent row with Dean McCullough.

Over the weekend, Dean was sleeping when Alan tried to wake him up to help Loose Women's Jane Moore with a task.

Instead, Dean shouted at Alan, saying: "Listen to me. If you're gonna wake me up, you need to give me a minute, alright?

"It takes a couple of minutes for my contact lenses to get back working again, alright, so you don't need to turn around to me and say 'do you not fancy it? OK?' And then turn around and walk away."

On the incident, Stephen said: "He handled himself well."

He continued: "It was probably blown out of proportion a little bit the way Dean reacted. He could have just said I will just do it in a minute and nothing would have come of it. [Alan] handled himself well to be fair."

When asked about Dean's 'screaming' in the trials, Stephen said: "People act in different ways. Dean is a screamer and that’s just the way it is."

However, former I'm A Celeb runner up Andrew Whyment was critical of Dean's comments.

Andrew, who co-stars with Alan in Corrie, told Lorraine: "The bit that got me was when he was in the Bush Telegraph and basically said 'I was asleep and wee Tyrone from Coronation Street is standing over me'.

"I just thought that was a bit disrespectful. Al's a 42-year-old man and the way Dean was speaking to him was a bit like a child."
