THEY are best pals in real life but Andrew Whyment and Alan Halsall are at war.

The cobbles of Coronation Street are set to be shaken once more when the pair, who play Kirk and Tyrone, have an almighty squabble.

And it's all about a girl -- ginger-haired Fiz Brown, to be exact. Ever since she shared a Christmas Day kiss with Tyrone she has found herself in the midst of a love triangle.

When Kirk suspected something was afoot, he dumped the factory worker. But just as dozy Kirk is about to try a reconciliation, Fiz gets bored with trying to get him back and hops into bed with Tyrone.

Cue a fight.

So have Andrew and Alan -- both regulars at Atlantis Nightclub in Astley Bridge -- fought over girls before. "Not at all," Andrew tells us, disappointingly.
