Alan Halsall couldn't have looked further away from his overall-wearing Coronation Street character as he emerged from a private helicopter at Aintree. The actor, who is known for playing Tyrone Dobbs in the ITV soap, arrived at the Grand National in style and took to Instagram with a clip of the moment he stepped out at the racecourse.
Alan attended Thursday's horse racing event and made a dramatic entrance before sharing snaps from throughout the day to his more than 200,000 followers. The 39-year-old started his day by getting picked up in his own helicopter, with a glass of champagne firmly in hand for the trip.
As he headed up to the annual Merseyside event, Alan flew over the race track where he got an aerial snap. He captioned the image: "Go round again... I've not finished my [champagne emoji]." And once touching back down on solid ground, Alan made sure someone was there to capture his arrival.
