Corrie’s David Platt star has been inundated with messages of support from social media followers as his wife shared a gushing tribute
Coronation Street stalwart Jack P Shepherd has been showered with well-wishes as his wife, Hanni, shares a life update.
Joining the ITV soap at the tender age of 12, Jack has portrayed David Platt, the cheeky son of Martin Platt (played by Sean Wilson) and Gail (portrayed by Helen Worth), since 2000.
Over the years, David has found himself embroiled in a myriad of dramatic storylines, from nearly causing his mum’s death by pushing her down the stairs to a deeply moving suicide plot.
In recent episodes of Corrie, David was involved in a catastrophic crash during the Emmerdale crossover, culminating in the premature birth of his daughter, who now requires life-saving surgery. Away from the cobbles, Jack enjoys a more tranquil existence with his cherished wife, Hanni Treweek.
The pair tied the knot in a picturesque ceremony in Manchester last summer, surrounded by their nearest and dearest, reports the Daily Star. Their nuptials followed a year after Jack romantically proposed to Hanni during an idyllic safari holiday.
On Wednesday (January 14), Hanni took to Instagram to share a heartfelt tribute to her husband as he celebrated his 38th birthday. Hanni posted a striking black and white photo from their wedding day, showing the couple in their wedding finery, complete with sunglasses.

She wrote alongside the post: “Happy birthday, baby! ! I love you, today, tomorrow, always @jackshepherd”, as he was quick to reshare the post to his own Instagram account for his 519,000 followers to enjoy.
In a separate Instagram upload, the soap actor appears with Ben Price, who portrays Nick Tilsley in the show, and former Craig Tinker star Colson Smith, as they mark his special day.
In the brief video, the trio is shown standing outdoors in darkness, having just wrapped up recording the latest instalment of their On The Sofa podcast, when they suddenly remembered it was Jack’s birthday.
While Colson and Jack discussed what time it was, Ben swiftly interjected, saying, “Right, I will tell you what time it is. It’s one minute past 12, and we have just finished recording, and it is someone’s birthday.”
Jack playfully responded: “Yeah, 14th of Jan now”, as Colson enthusiastically confirmed: “Yeah”, before Jack humorously mimicked the Auld Lang Syne dance, traditionally performed at New Year.
The actor’s friends and supporters were quick to flood the comments with birthday messages as he turned 38. One fan penned: “Happy Birthday from a Corrie fanatic from the east coast of Australia.”
Another commented: “Happy birthday Jacky P! Have a good one x”, whilst someone else added: “Happy Birthday Jack, watched this week’s ep on YouTube great to watch absolutely MINT.”
“Happy Birthday Jack. What an absolutely fabulous YouTube ep, looking forward for the next one! I didn’t think On the Sofa could make me laugh more than it already did”, another fan chimed in.
