Coronation Street's Alan Halsall has poked fun at the age gap in his relationship with former co-star Tisha Merry.

The actor, who plays Tyrone Dobbs in the ITV soap, took to social media yesterday (October 9) to reveal the beauty regime that keeps him looking young and fresh for his girlfriend, who is 10 years younger than him.
