ITV Coronation Street's Jack P Shepherd jokes former four-legged co-star 'hated him' after introducing new Platt

Coronation Street star Jack P Shepherd has revealed the trouble he had with a former, four-legged co-star. Fans of the ITV soap were a bit concerned last month when the actor, who is famed for playing Weatherfield's David Platt, introuced a new member of the Platt family.

Jack took to Instagram to share a video of himself at his character's family home on the famous cobbles and could be seen holding a gorgeous terrier pup who appears to be the new 'David the Dog' on the street. Corrie fans will remember that the dog was formerly the pet of Mrs Moss, an old lady who was a regular at David's grandmother, Audrey's, hair salon and the dog was left to David following Mrs Moss' death.

Sharing the introductory video, Jack wrote: "First day at work. He was nervous but what a star in the making." He then added with crying laughing face emojis: "Thrilled he got the job, well done David." Those watching were quick to worry and wonder about what happened to the previous dog, before it was revealed it had sadly died.
