Coronation Street<\/a> legend Alan Halsall<\/a> has returned to filming after a stint in the I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here!<\/a> jungle.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Tyrone Dobbs<\/a>\u00a0actor was seventh to be voted out of the jungle in a shock double eviction alongside\u00a0social media\u00a0star\u00a0GK Barry<\/a>.<\/p>\n

During the hefty flight to Manchester<\/a> from Australia<\/a>, he hosted a Q&A on his Instagram Stories, where he revealed when he is set to return to his day job on the cobbles.<\/p>\n

\u2018Back to work Monday,\u2019 he wrote, adding: \u2018I can\u2019t wait.\u2019<\/p>\n

The actor previously confirmed that his stint on the reality show wouldn\u2019t lead to an exit for Tyrone, assuring fans that he would be back<\/a>.<\/p>\n

He said: \u2018Corrie has been fantastic with it all and I am definitely not leaving the soap. You just won\u2019t see my character for a while on-screen.\u2019<\/p>\n

Now, having made it back safely to the long-running soap’s production base in Trafford, Greater Manchester, and received a hero’s welcome in the Rovers Return set.<\/p>\n

Co-star Claire Sweeney<\/a>, who joined the show last year as his estranged mum Cassie Plummer<\/a>, posted an emotional video of him walking into the famous boozer to a round of applause.<\/p>\n

She captioned the social media post: ‘He’s back!!! Our winner.’<\/p>\n

Earlier this month, Claire, bursting with pride over his new venture<\/a>, told Metro<\/strong>: ‘\u2018He\u2019s lovely, and he\u2019s dead funny as well. He\u2019s my boy!\u2019<\/p>\n

And the actress isn\u2019t opposed to braving the experience herself: \u2018I\u2019d love to do it\u2019 she admitted.<\/p>\n

\u2018I\u2019m a massive fan of the show, I look forward to it as it starts Christmas off when it comes on. I get so invested in it.\u2019<\/p>\n

It was recently revealed that\u00a0Alan has signed a new Corrie contract <\/a>securing his place on the street for at least another year \u2013 something he is \u2018thrilled\u2019 about.<\/p>\n

\u2018I\u2019ve spoken a lot in camp of how humbling it is to be a very small part of Coronation Street,\u2019 he told The Sun<\/a>.<\/p>\n
