Coronation Street star Jack P Shepherd has shared the actual reason for using 'P' in his acting credits. The actor is best known for playing David Platt in the ITV soap.
And the troublesome character has been in the show since 1990 - but Jack actually joined in 2000 - and he's gone on to play a part in the soap's biggest storylines, with viewers seeing him go from tormenting his own family to being the concerned stepdad to troublesome teen Max Turner.
But in a new episode of his Sofa Cinema Club podcast that he hosts with two of his Corrie co-stars, it was revealed that Jack had to add the 'P' into his name when he became an actor due to there already being a Jack Shepherd in the profession.
