CORONATION Street star Jack P Shepherd has been spotted with his new girlfriend six months after splitting from his fiancee.

Jack has been spotted on a date with Hanni Treweek as they enjoyed an afternoon date in Spinningfields in Manchester.
The actor was dressed casually in a grey t-shirt and black skinny jeans, while his companion wore a black leather jacket over a flowery patterned monochrome dress.
The pair recently began seeing each other and have been casually dating.
A source told The Sun Online: "Jack and Hanni have been on a couple of dates.
"It's very early days but they are just enjoying each other's company.
"Jack has been split from Lauren for six months and they haven't lived together for months.
"They are still the best of friends and their focus is on their children."
The actor, who has signed a new £200,000 deal to play stay playing Platt, split from long-term fiancée Lauren Shippey six months ago.
Jack and Lauren, both 29, got together aged 14.
Lauren threw him out in 2011 when a DNA test revealed he was dad to a baby boy after a one-night stand with sales executive Sammy Milewski.
But Jack successfully begged her to take him back. He gave her a £3,000 engagement ring.
At the time a friend said: “Lauren understands Jack made a terrible mistake. Now he has made the ultimate statement that he wants to be with her for the rest of his life.”
A spokesman said in a statement: “Jack and Lauren remain the best of friends and their main focus is the care of their children.”
