Coronation Street star Jack P Shepherd gifted money in fan’s will
Jack P Shepherd has been playing the role of David Platt on Corrie since 2000. So, it’s no surprise that he’s accumulated a lot of fanmail and gifts over the years.
On the most recent episode of his podcast with his fellow co-stars, Jack revealed one gift from a fan that left him in disbelief.
He’d been left £12k from a fan’s will. A postman in New Zealand loved his portrayal of David on Corrie so much that he actually gave him some money when he passed.
Ben couldn’t believe it when Jack confirmed that it was all legit, using the money to go on holiday.
Jack shared: “Someone died and I was in their will.
Ben then said: “I was fuming because I was convinced it was a scam.”
Colson chipped in: “He went to Florida with the £12k he left him in his will,” with Jack adding that ‘it was amazing.’
