ITV Corrie's Jack P Shepherd in hilarious case of mistaken identity in Sainsbury's as cashier doesn't believe it's him

He's one of the most famous faces in soap after starring in Coronation Street for 22 years. But Jack P Shepherd, who plays Corrie favourite David Platt, saw the funny side over a case of mistaken identity at the supermarket.

The actor, who has played former bad boy David since 2000, thought it was hilarious when a cashier in Sainsbury's recognised him, but not for his role on Coronation Street. Instead she was adamant that he was a contestant on the ITV gameshow Tipping Point.

"Just in Sainos then," he said in a video shared on Instagram. "Woman on the till says 'where do I know you from?' I went 'oh it's Coronation Street. "She went no. No you were on something last night.' She went 'Tipping Point, that's it'"'
