But actor Alan Halsall - who has played hapless Tyrone for almost 26 years has now warned that his wedded bliss to Fiz (Jennie McAlpine) is under threat.

With the arrival of his love child Dorin on the cobbles, mechanic Tyrone is forced to face his cheating past this week when ex Alina Pop (Ruxandra Porojnicu) turns up.

Alan says the plot will divide fans as they put the much-loved couple's marriage to the test.

The 41-year-old actor said: "With Jennie being off on maternity leave, we haven't really seen the domestic bliss of Ty and Fiz's marriage, two kids and a nana.

"For it to be turned upside down so quickly and Alina to come back with a child on board - it's going to divide a lot of people and that's just within the house.

"Pardon the pun, but it's a spanner in the works for Tyrone."

So could this be the end of Corrie's golden couple?

"He's living this domestic bliss so the last thing he really wants is anything interrupting that.

"At first I think he just wants to dismiss it, it's nothing to do with me and let's just continue with our lives."

Alan says the involvement of a child will definitely change things for Tyrone: "One thing I know about him is that over the years he's definitely a family man and he wants to do right by his family and by his children.

"Once he knows there's a child involved and that child maybe has something to do with him, he wants to try to do right and the right things.

"But Fiz has nothing to worry about. Tyrone did learn his lessons and we saw that clearly when they got back together and finally got married after so many times of breaking up.
