Tisha gushes over Alan as a dad

Alan shares Sienna with his ex-wife and former Corrie co-star Lucy-Jo Hudson.

The pair, who tied the knot in 2009, currently co-parent their little one.

Since being introduced into Sienna’s life, Tisha has nothing but praise for Alan.

Opening up on their future baby plans, Tisha told OK! magazine: “He’ll be so amazing.”

She added: “He’s such a good dad; he’s so caring and loving. He notices everything and his communication with Sienna is so strong. I would love that for our child if we have one.”

Meanwhile, Alan said: “We’ve never had a proper serious sit down but we’ve discussed the future together.”
