The cobbled streets of Coronation Street may be no stranger to dramatic vows and wedding-day disasters, but in real life, Jack P. Shepherd just pulled off a ceremony worthy of the silver screen—and without a single scripted mishap. The long-time soap actor, best known for portraying David Platt, tied the knot with his partner of seven years, Hanni Treweek, in a lavish celebration that had all the makings of a classic soap opera love story… only this one was real.
The grand setting? None other than Manchester Cathedral, where history met stardom in a union that lit up the city. Jack, 37, made his entrance like a true leading man—sunglasses on, riding in the back of a red Mustang, exuding effortless style in a cream tuxedo. Alongside him were his mother and his son Reuben, who shared in the moment with proud smiles. And when Hanni arrived? All eyes were on her. The 35-year-old former Coronation Street scriptwriter stunned in a lace-sleeved gown with an ethereal train so long it required a team of bridesmaids to guide it down the aisle. Her natural makeup and elegant bouquet completed a look that can only be described as timeless.
But this wasn’t just a union of two people—it was also a reunion of soap royalty. Jack’s closest Corrie castmates turned out in droves, dressed to the nines and beaming with joy. Ben Price and Colson Smith, his on- and off-screen confidants and podcast partners, stood out in matching suits. Lucy Fallon, Tina O’Brien, Julia Goulding, Mikey North, Sally Dynevor, Jane Danson, Alan Halsall—even the legendary Helen Worth—joined the celebration, turning the Cathedral steps into a mini red carpet. Reality TV alum Chris Hughes also made an appearance, although his partner Jojo Siwa was notably absent, reportedly just returning from a Stateside trip. And in the ultimate plot twist? Rumor had it that international superstar Drake, coincidentally staying at the couple’s hotel, may have been lingering in the background—his reputation for surprise appearances adding a delicious layer of intrigue.
After the heartfelt “I dos,” Jack and Hanni exited the cathedral beneath a flurry of confetti, their kiss drawing cheers from friends and family. But it wasn’t just for show—this was a union built on years of quiet loyalty, shared laughter, and late-night podcast debates. They weren’t characters in a script. They were two real people, in love, finally getting their happily ever after.
The celebrations continued at the lavish Lowry Hotel, where guests toasted to love, indulged in luxury, and danced the night away. Jack’s recent win on Celebrity Big Brother was rumored to have helped fund the extravagant affair—a gamble that paid off in the form of what fans are calling the “wedding of the year.”
As Jack once said, “It’s going to be epic.” And epic it was.
Now fans are left wondering: with the real-life wedding bells still echoing, could David Platt soon find his own romance revival on the cobbles? Or will life imitate art in new, unexpected ways?
