According to The Sun, Serena makes a splash when she arrives and it emerges that she had something going on with Bear Sylvester (Dex Lee).

Tisha was in Coronation Street from 2013 to 2018, when Steph waved goodbye to Weatherfield and went off to live in Portugal.

The actress has previously said that she met some incredible people on the ITV soap – and it seems Alan Halsall is one of them.

After her role ended, Tisha got together with her former co-star, aka Weatherfield stalwart Tyrone.

The couple have now been an item for years and every now and then give fans a peek at their lives together on social media.
