Corrie star Jack P Shepherd gets engaged to girlfriend Hanni Treweek

Coronation Street star Jack P Shepherd has announced his engagement to his long-term girlfriend Hanni Treweek.

The actor, 36, who plays David Platt on the popular soap and his influencer partner, 32, took to their Instagrams on Sunday to reveal their happy news.

Jack got down on one knee during a romantic safari holiday in the Serengeti earlier this month, and the couple posed for loved-up snaps in their safari getups.

Flashing her sparkling engagement ring, Hannah beamed for the camera before kissing her new fiancé.

Captioning the snaps, she gushed: ‘05.06.24 I said YES to forever!!!’ 

The pair were flooded with congratulatory comments from their friends and family, including several of Jack’s fellow Corrie stars.

Michelle Keegan, who played his onscreen girlfriend Tina McIntyre wrote: ‘Awww congratulations to you both ✨ xx’ while Katie McGlynn said: ‘Congratulations to you both! Amazing news! ❤️❤️’.

His onscreen wife Julia Goulding said: ‘Such beautiful news! Congratulations to you both, absolutely perfect couple ❤️❤️ xxx’. 

David’s former wife Paula Lane – who played Kylie Turner – also voiced her joy and admitted that she had guessed that a proposal was coming. 

She commented: ‘So strange I had such a feeling about this when I saw your adventure! Huge congratulations both of you xxx’.

Paddy Bever, who plays David’s adopted son Max, commented with a heart emoji while Corrie stalwart Alan Halsall added: ‘Congratulations to the pair of you xx’.

Georgia May Foote, who played Katy Armstrong, gushed: ‘Aww congratulations guys!!!! X’ while Toyah Battersby actress Georgia Taylor said: ‘You guys!!! Oh this is the most gorgeous news! Huge congratulations’.

Catherine Tyldesley wrote: ‘Congratulations my darlings!!! Wonderful’ while Samia Longchambon penned: ‘Ahhh amazing news guys! Huge congratulations’ and Lucy Fallon simply added: ‘yaaaaayyyyy’.

Jack first joined the cobbles in April 2000, taking over the role of David from Thomas Ormson at 12 years old.

He’s been at the centre of a slew of dramatic storylines, including the murder of his wife Kylie, his darker ‘Demon David’ phase, prison time and Corrie’s first male rape.

He and Hanni have been dating since 2017, after meeting on the soap when she worked in the press office.

She later became a storyliner on the ITV show, before quitting to work as a fashion influencer.

Last year, Jack detailed a terrifying fireball incident which occurred during a weekend away in the Lake District with Hanni.

The couple were staying in a cabin in a remote location with a hot tub and log fire and arrived with the help of his phone torch light as it was already getting dark.

They decided that they wanted to use the tub so Jack moved to try and get it started but it was not quite what he expected and it was harder still because of the rain.

He revealed that he was using lighter fluid to try and get a log fire hot tub working during his Valentine’s break with Hanni but that it blew up in his hand.

Jack added that there was a shoot with a hatch that he had to open, dropping logs and kindling down and hoping it caught.

Speaking on the Sofa Cinema Club podcast, he said: ‘I’m trying to light this kindling in my hand while craning my neck to hold onto the brolly to stop water from dousing out the flames.’

He shared that things soon became terrifying after he decided to use lighter fluid because he thought it would be a simpler way of powering up the hot tub.

Jack said: ‘Just as I’m pouring the lighter fluid down, of course I’ve got a bit of flame and it comes back up. Eyebrows. Brolly. And then the flame goes in the bottle. I had to drop the whole f***ing thing in.

‘The whole thing went in and then it goes up like it’s 5th November. I’m lucky I’ve still got my face.’

He revealed that it had blown up in his hand and he realised he should have put the lighter fluid down before dropping a match.
