‘HANNI'S MY SOULMATE – WE WILL GET MARRIED'

Being asked for selfies is part and parcel of being in a prime time soap for two decades, and not even a global pandemic has deterred some fans from approaching Coronation Street favourite Jack P Shepherd.

“Even when we were in deepest lockdown, people would still come up and ask for a picture. I’d be like, ‘No, two metres!’” laughs Jack, 32, who’s played David Platt since he was 12 years old.

“I had to explain we were practising social distancing,” adds his girlfriend Hanni Treweek with a smile.

The pair, who recently celebrated their three-year anniversary, laugh a lot during our interview. They met when Hanni worked in the script department of the ITV show.

“He just made me laugh so much. Finding a guy who makes you crack up is so important,” says 31-year-old Hanni, who now works with brands on Instagram.

Jack and Hanni fell in love quickly but took things slowly for the sake of the actor’s children, Nyla, 11, and six-year-old Reuben, from a previous relationship.

“We were together for about a year before they met. You don’t want to introduce a new partner to small children too soon,” Jack tells us.

Here, in their first interview together, Jack and Hanni open up about falling in love after meeting at Corrie and their plans for the future…

How has this year been for you both?

Jack: We were lucky as we really enjoyed lockdown. When do you ever get that time to sit at home and chill out? We didn’t have any fights – well, aside from when I built the Taj Mahal out of Lego. It was 26,000 pieces and it took 21 hours and Hanni destroyed it!
