Coronation Street’s Jack P Shepherd issues blunt two-word response to NTA calls

Jack P. Shepherd, who starred in the recent film adaptation of David Platt, has refuted suggestions that he should win the National Television Award. A listener said his portrayal of David, who was recently hit by a car and hospitalized, merited praise on his podcast, On the Sofa, which he co-hosts with fellow Corrie actors Ben Price and Colson Smith.

According to the plot, David appeared to be planning to run over gangster Harvey Gaskell after discovering himself in debt to him. This sparked rumors that Jack might be a contender for an award at the upcoming National Television Awards.

However, Jack, who has played David since 2000, refrained from suggesting otherwise. Are you aware of why? Because it has been in March and the NTAs have been “when”? Jack retorted, “Forget it, Colson,” as Colson responded, “September.” To win, you must essentially do something the week before.

Colson continued, “You essentially need to die to win.”

According to Leicestershire Live, Jack remained skeptical about his chances of winning an award despite receiving more encouragement from listeners.

As he nears a remarkable 25 years, Jack has been hinting about his place on the soap. He admitted to the Manchester Evening News that his first performance was intended to be a short-term one, telling the paper: “I was only in the show for three months before they rang my mother up and my agent to say “Yes, we’ll extend it.”

He went on to say that 25 years is a long time for someone, but I currently have annual contracts and don’t have any for three-month contracts.

He also mentioned that, “I’m only here for a year, and it’s over this year!” They might stop it, they might choose to pursue someone else, I don’t know. But I’m still having fun.”

When Jack appeared to suggest he might be leaving during a chit-chat on This Morning last week, fans were left biting their nails. When he questioned whether he would continue to work on the soap, he said, “I believe it will be 25 years later next month. Although it would have been nice to sort of reach that milestone, I’ve always enjoyed every minute, but sadly tonight is the last.

However, he admitted to being “a little devious” during a surprising twist during the live broadcast of On the Sofa. When asked about his antics, he said, “Who knows, who knows? Will David die, won’t David die blah blah blah blah blah blah,” but I thought that was a bit s***. I merely figured I would say “yes”.”

When Jack finished, he admitted that the people working in the background didn’t notice what he was doing and that it caused the green room to laugh.
