'Coronation Street' star Alan Halsall has said his female fans are only interested in one thing - mothering him.

Speaking to the Daily Mirror the actor, who plays Tyrone Dobbs, said: "I don't really get chatted up. Instead, I get old grandmas who just want to mother me and take me home. And because Tyrone is always eating, they all say: 'Come to my house, I'll cook for you'."

The actor said that when women do approach him, it's normally to try and get the number of his co-star Ryan Thomas, who plays Jason Grimshaw.

"Girls generally come up and say: 'Is Jason coming?'" revealed Halsall.

"I think most girls would like to have Tyrone as a friend rather than a husband or boyfriend," he added. "But I'm happy with that. I'm lucky in that most people seem to like him."
