Jack P Shepherd, known for his long-standing role as David Platt on Coronation Street, is making headlines as he participates in the current season of Celebrity Big Brother. As the actor gears up for his upcoming wedding this summer, his fiancée, Hanni Treweek, has been a vocal supporter, defending him against criticism and sharing insights into their life together.
Shepherd, who has been engaged to Treweek for nearly a year, proposed during a safari holiday in Tanzania. On Thursday, April 17, 2025, Treweek appeared on ITV's Lorraine, hosted by Christine Lampard, to discuss Jack's experience in the reality show. "I am so proud of him," she stated, emphasizing that he joined the show to spread laughter. "I think he's certainly done that. He and Patsy doing the roles was just iconic," she added, referring to his playful interactions with fellow housemate Patsy Palmer.
Despite his popularity outside the house, Shepherd has faced challenges within the Big Brother environment, having been nominated for eviction twice since his arrival. Treweek acknowledged this, explaining that Jack is still adjusting to reality TV, stating, "You have to remember, he’s had no reality TV experience. This is the first time he’s done anything like this." She expressed hope that as the competition progresses, viewers will see more of his personality shine through.
During her appearance, Treweek also addressed the toll that traveling to London for live eviction shows has taken on her. "I cannot go down to London again, I need some breathing space," she confessed, highlighting the emotional strain of the situation. With another live eviction scheduled for Friday, April 18, Treweek is hoping for a break from the hectic travel schedule.
In a light-hearted moment, Treweek shared that Jack's love for tea is a significant part of his personality. "I would say in one day we are looking at about eight cups of tea. In the Big Brother house, he’s going towards double digits. He makes a brilliant cup of tea and that’s what I really miss," she revealed, adding a personal touch that resonates with many viewers.
As for the couple's upcoming wedding, Treweek confirmed that they are set to tie the knot in July 2025. However, during the show, Jack inadvertently revealed details about their wedding plans, raising concerns from host Christine Lampard about whether he had consulted Treweek beforehand. Treweek dismissed these worries, stating, "No, I just think he was having a really natural conversation. It’s already out there that we are getting married in July, so yeah we have plenty to look forward to."
Fans of the show have rallied behind Shepherd, with Treweek expressing her gratitude for their support. After a recent live eviction, she took to social media to thank viewers for saving Jack from elimination, saying, "You’re ALL the best! I can't thank you enough for taking the time to save Jack. SAVED. Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank youuuu. We're so here for more tea, dad dancing, toad in the hole bants & where we love him most, in the diary room. Keep being you Jack, we're right behind you."
As the competition heats up, Treweek remains a steadfast supporter of Shepherd, encouraging him to embrace the experience and have fun. "Ultimately, he is in there to have a good time, have a bit of fun, and make sure we’re all laughing. He’s doing such a great job in the house. I’m so proud of him," she said, showcasing her unwavering belief in his abilities.
With the show airing live on ITV1, viewers are eager to see how Shepherd navigates the challenges ahead. As he continues to build friendships and showcase his personality, fans are hopeful that he will remain in the competition long enough to enjoy all the experiences that Celebrity Big Brother has to offer.
As the weekend approaches, anticipation builds for the next live eviction, and Treweek's plea for space resonates with many who understand the pressures of reality television. The couple's journey together continues to unfold, with their wedding plans adding an extra layer of excitement to Shepherd's time on the show.
In a world where reality TV often blurs the lines between personal and public life, Jack P Shepherd and Hanni Treweek's story serves as a reminder of the importance of support and understanding in relationships. As they prepare for their upcoming nuptials, fans will undoubtedly be watching closely to see how their love story continues to develop amidst the chaos of the Big Brother house.
