Coronation Street legend Alan Halsall, best known for playing Tyrone Dobbs on the popular soap opera, has issued an update to fans after undergoing a knee operation.
The star, who has been a part of the ITV programme since 1998, had an operation to fix an ACL injury months before breaking up with his co-star girlfriend Tish Merry.
The pair met in 2014 and started dating years later when she left her role as Steph Britton.
The ACL, or anterior cruciate ligament, is a part of the body that crosses the middle of the knee and connects the thighbone to the shinbone.
This can be injured in a number of ways but usually happens when a person suddenly stops when out running and cycling.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
