Coronation Street’s Jack P Shepherd shares amazing throwback of himself in the Rovers Return as a child
The 31-year-old treated fans to the old picture which sees him sat at the soap's famous bar as a youngster
CORONATION Street star Jack P Shepherd has shared an adorable throwback snap on the soap's set as a young child.
Taking to Instagram the throwback shows Jack, now 31, cheekily grinning as he props himself up at the bar in his school uniform in the soap's famous pub, the Rovers Return.
"Me in the Rovers with my dad," he revealed.
The actor first joined the soap in 2000 when he was just 12-years-old and has been playing the role of David Platt ever since.
And feeling nostalgic, many long-time Coronation Street lovers immediately began commenting on the picture as they reminisced about when the actor first stepped onto the street.
One wrote: "Remember u being like that...loved u then...and love your character and your humour now x"
While another added: "I remember you as David walking into the Rovers, going up to the bar, peering over the top, looking at Betty Turpin and saying ‘Two comes when you’re ready Betty, love’, you were all of about 6! Never forgotten that scene, brilliant!
A third simply gushed: "Aww wee David ( jack ) xx"
And a fourth chimed in, saying: "Aww Jack i love this"
Meanwhile, nineteen years later and the actor is now doing some legal boozing of his own, as he was spotted celebrating his on screen fiance, Julia Goulding's, 34th birthday with the rest of his on screen family recently.
On Wednesday Tina O’Brien (Sarah Platt) shared an Insta story showing the group taking a break from filming to host a boozy lunch on set for the actress, who plays Shona Ramsey.
Tina posted a selfie of them eating from takeaway trays with plastic wine glasses and a bottle of Prosecco on the table.
Although, missing from the picture was Jack who was told to “hurry up” by Tina.
Jack jokingly replied: “Just stocking the fridge”.

He then paid his own tributes to his on-screen fiance, by sharing behind-the-scenes snaps and writing: “Happy birthday, we love you.
“See you later for beer. And of course, Champagne.”
The birthday girl was also treated to a Curly the Caterpillar cake by Lucy Fallon, although the actress, who plays Bethany, admitted she’d tucked into it before it arrived at the table.
