Jack P Shepherd moves in with Coronation Street co-star Colson Smith after splitting with fiancée Lauren Sheppey
The actor called it quits with his childhood sweetheart and has since moved on with a new woman
JACK P Shepherd has moved in with his Coronation Street co-star Colson Smith following his split from his fiancée Lauren Sheppey.
The actor, famed for playing David Platt on the ITV soap, revealed his split from his partner of 15 years and the mother of his two children in October of last year.
He has now moved into a new pad with Colson Smith, who plays Craig Tinker, and actor Freddie Bolt.
Last night the new roomies took to Instagram to share a series of pictures, revealing they had been living in their new place together for a week – but still haven’t worked out how to put the heating on.
Posting a picture of the three of them, Jack, 30, wrote: “My flat mates. @colsonjsmith @freddieb1993.”
While Ackley Bridge star Freddie told fans: “First full week in the new flat with these two. Been a blast 🙌🏻 ft. Makeup from the show tonight... @jackpshepherd88 @colsonjsmith #salfordquays #boysclub #threestoogies.”
Shortly after his split from childhood sweetheart Lauren, Jack went public with new girlfriend Hanni Treweek.
The new couple have been inseparable in recent months and have even enjoyed a minibreak together, but it seems they are not quite ready to move in together.
Jack and Lauren, who are parents to an eight-year-old daughter and a son aged three, 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.
They confirmed their split in October, with a spokesperson saying: “Jack and Lauren remain the best of friends and their main focus is the care of their children.”
