Alan Halsall and Lucy-Jo Hudson are already parents to their gorgeous 19-month-old daughter Sienna-Rae.

But, speaking in a new interview with OK! Magazine, the Coronation Street actor has confessed that they are not planning on extending their brood anytime soon.

The real-life Tyrone Dobbs explained: "Eventually we will have another one.

"We have spoken about it but we're not in a rush. We say two children but I know people who have said that then had twins," he laughed.

And his 31-year-old wife has admitted that twins is a BIG possibility for the pair of them - especially as they run in the family.

“A psychic has told me I’m going to have twins,” she said simply.

“We have twins in both our families.”

Despite this, however, she added laughingly: “When I was first pregnant with Sienna I thought I was having twins as I was so big. But she was just a big baby!”

The couple tied the knot in 2009, seven years after they met on the show, and welcomed their little girl into the world in September 2013.

The married couple tied the knot in 2009, seven years after they met on the show, and welcomed their little girl into the world in September 2013.

And Alan has revealed that, since then, his priorities have changed quite a bit.

He told The Sun: “I miss my little girl, Sienna-Rae, when I'm at work so, as soon as I finish a scene, I'm in the car as quick as I can because I want to be part of everything.

“I think Lucy would say she's got my laugh. And she's got Lucy's eyes. She's absolutely beautiful and so happy.

“Life couldn't get any better. Fatherhood is fantastic and it changes everything. Sienna-Rae comes first now.”
