The former 'Coronation Street' actress has admitted she could see herself marrying her ex-cobbles co-star - who has six-year-old daughter Sienna with his ex Lucy-Jo Hudson - and the pair would love to have a kid together.

Speaking on her YouTube channel, on which Alan put some of her fans' assumptions to her, she said: "I do see myself getting married.

"I'd love to get married and I do see myself having children with Al, but not for at least five years.

"I would like a child and Al would like a child, so yes we both want a child."

But Tisha insisted she didn't have the hots for Alan when they first met.

Responding to the assumption that she has "always fancied Alan", she said: "No, I actually haven't.

"We've talked about this before, but we were best friends before we got together.

"I've obviously known Alan for many, many years but no, I never looked at him like that.

"It was only when we got closer as friends, that I was like, 'Ooh, maybe I do fancy him a little bit, nine months down the line.' "

The 27-year-old star played waitress Steph Britton for nearly four years on the cobbles, and she would "love" to return to the ITV soap at some point.

She said: "I would love to go back, I would also love to continue auditioning.

"I'm quite easy in that way.

"But I would certainly not rule anything out."
