BATTLING... IN THEIR BRIEFS

Corrie’s Alan Halsall (Tyrone) and Jamie Kenna (Phill) gave a new meaning to solid acting performances when they agreed to their fight scene set in real concrete. Not only was it freezing cold, it

was a struggle to get out of the stuff – not least because 6ft 4in Jamie kept holding on to 5ft 7in Alan and pushing him back in. The scene ends up with them stripped down to their pants, by the way! Alan went to the gym to look good while Jamie went on holiday – drinking and eating doughnuts. Great fun filming, apparently.
