Coronation Street’s Jack P. Shepherd has firmly expressed his reluctance to have a stag do before his upcoming wedding. Revealing this revelation on their podcast, co-star Colson Smith mentioned that despite Jack’s initial objections, a small, low-key celebration with a few friends is in the works to commemorate the special occasion.
Playing the role of David Platt on the popular ITV soap opera, Jack seemed surprised by the stag party plans that he supposedly had been informed about during a gym conversation, which he had no recollection of. Colson disclosed the upcoming event, stating that a small group, including Jack, would be participating in the stag do.
Despite Jack’s claim of not being informed previously, Colson reminded him of their gym discussion, to which Jack adamantly denied having had a meeting. Colson reassured Jack that the celebration would be modest after Jack reluctantly suggested a casual outing for food and drinks.
When the idea of an extravagant stag do was proposed by Colson and Ben Price, with activities like axe-throwing, Jack firmly declined, stating that he preferred not to have a stag celebration at all. This decision contrasts with the romantic moment in June 2024 when Jack proposed to his long-time partner Hanni Treweek during a safari in Tanzania, leading to her ecstatic announcement on Instagram.
In another revelation, Jack confessed to not maintaining contact with former co-stars once they leave the show, a fact that concerned fans as Colson Smith plans to depart from Coronation Street after 14 years in 2025. However, Jack assured that due to their podcast collaboration, he would continue to have a relationship with Colson. Reflecting on past departures, Jack mentioned his tendency not to initiate contact after colleagues exit the show, highlighting his willingness to engage if approached by them.
This series of events sheds light on Jack P. Shepherd’s perspective on stag parties, relationships with former co-stars, and his personal connections within the entertainment industry.
