Coronation Street star Jack P Shepherd has announced his engagement to his long-time girlfriend Hanni Treweek.
Shepherd, who has played David Platt on the ITV soap since 2000, met Treweek while she worked in the show’s script department. The pair began dating in 2017.
Treweek announced the happy news in a joint Instagram post with her fiancé, which featured an image of the couple sharing a kiss after Shepherd popped the question during a safari holiday earlier this month.
