Coronation Street actor Jack P Shepherd has been inundated with warm messages from fans and friends after sharing a touching update on his married life with wife Hanni Treweek.
A Festive First for the Newlyweds
The couple, who tied the knot earlier this year in Manchester, celebrated their first Christmas as husband and wife. Shepherd, famed for playing David Platt on the ITV soap, marked the occasion by posting festive pictures online.
In the photos, the pair are seen dressed in holiday outfits posing before a Christmas tree, with Hanni proudly showing off her wedding ring in a separate snap. She captioned the post: "Our first Christmas as Mr & Mrs Shepherd. We hope you all had a magical one."
An Outpouring of Fan Support
The update prompted a flood of supportive comments from followers and colleagues. One fan wrote, "Beautiful photos, beautiful couple," while another added, "Happy Xmas Mr & Mrs Shepherd." A third supporter penned, "You both look lush."
The 37-year-old actor proposed during a dream safari holiday, and their Manchester wedding was attended by several of his Coronation Street co-stars, including Alan Halsall, Tina O'Brien, and Lucy Fallon.
From Soap Drama to Real-Life Bliss
Jack P Shepherd first joined the cobbles in the year 2000 at just 12 years old. His character, David Platt, has been central to some of the show's most dramatic plots, including pushing his mother down the stairs and a harrowing suicide storyline.
However, his off-screen life presents a stark contrast to the turmoil of Weatherfield. Currently, on-screen, his character David and wife Shona, played by Julia Goulding, are facing an emotional storyline as they await the birth of a daughter who requires high-risk surgery for a neck tumour.
Furthermore, Coronation Street is set for a dramatic crossover with Emmerdale, involving a multi-vehicle pile-up. Actor Jacob Roberts, who plays Kit Green, described the upcoming episodes as "chaotic," noting the plot moves "from one thing to the other quite quickly."
Despite the fictional drama, the real-life focus for Jack remains on the joyful start to his marriage, warmly celebrated by his loyal fanbase.
