Alan and Lucy-Jo allegedly fell out in February of this year.
On social media Lewis appeared to describe Sienna as ‘his own’ child on social media.
Seemingly infuriated, Alan responded by writing (and later deleting) on social media: “You’re welcome to keep the lying cheating one & call her your own! But not my daughter.”
Then in April, Lucy-Jo said that she expects Alan ‘probably regretted’ posting the message during a magazine interview.
But Alan made his feelings once again clear for all – by sharing on his Instagram stories: “No regrets.”
The actor joined Coronation Street back in 1998 as Tyrone Dobbs.
For years his character lived with Jack and Vera Duckworth as their surrogate son.
Over twenty years later, he’s still one of the soap’s most popular and long-lasting characters.
He’s won several wards for his role, including the 2013 The British Soaps Awards for Best Actor.
