Coronation Street’s Jack P Shepherd reveals how he spent thousands fan left him in surprise gift

The thousands of pounds left in a fan’s will were used by Coronation Street’s Jack P. Shepherd, who made the disclosure. The actor previously disclosed how he used the unexpected windfall while previously sharing the unusual news that he was included in a fan’s last testament.

It became clear that he used the surprise funds for a impromptu family trip to Florida, US, in conversation with his Corrie colleague Ben Price and his retiring star Colson Smith. .

Ben, who plays Jack’s on-screen brother, recounted his initial reaction to the peculiar inheritance: “I was convinced that it was a scam and I said ‘that’s a scam, you’re getting f*****g scammed, I hope you’re getting scammed because I’ll be so f****d off if you’re not’. “

During an Instagram Q&A session in 2018, the story first became public. A with Julia Goulding, who portrays David’s wife Shona on Corrie. A devoted postman fan from New Zealand informed fans that Jack had left him a significant sum of money.

He recalled, “(He) gave me five grand in their will. From New Zealand, a fan. Died, and gave me 10 per cent of his estate, which was five grand. So cheers,” reports Lancs Live.

The trio of actors briefly touched on some of the other fan mail they’ve received throughout the years during the opening act of the show. The soap stars acknowledged that they occasionally received rather explicit letters from fans, even though the majority of it was fairly standard.

Jack, the second eldest son of the recently deceased Gail Platt, made his comedic debut on the cobbles at the age of 12 as David Platt, and he has since become a fixture on the show, appearing in some of the soap’s most significant plots. Born in Pudsey, West Yorkshire, the 37 year old has also carved out a career in theatre, starring in numerous stage performances, including adaptations of West Side Story and Oliver! , based on Charles Dickens’ 1838 novel, Oliver Twist.

It comes after Jack revealed how he and his co-stars argued over whether or not he should have a stag do before his upcoming wedding. The actor is scheduled to tie the knot later this year, but it’s unclear whether he wants the customary rite of passage.

Colson, his co-star, said on their podcast, “There is something I need to discuss with you about this subject, but I’m not quite sure when to do this.” Now is the right time, but you’re very very against it.

“But I just need to tell you that it’s happening, that there is a small group of us, which is only four people and then including yourself, that’s five, but we have to tell you now that you are having a stag do. “

As Jack claimed he hadn’t been told, Colson reminded him of their discussion in the gym, asserting that they’d had a meeting, to which Jack firmly denied, adding they didn’t have a “f*****g meeting”.

After Jack reluctantly suggested that they could “go for a bit of food and then go out,” Colson tried to placate and assure him that the celebration would be quiet. “
