On Saturday 26 July 2025, Coronation Street icon Jack P. Shepherd, best known to fans as David Platt, exchanged vows with long-term partner Hanni Treweek in a breathtaking ceremony at Manchester Cathedral, surrounded by co-stars, family, and close friends—a moment that will long live in Weatherfield legend.
From Safari to the Altar: The Love Story
Jack proposed to Hanni in June 2024, during a romantic safari in Tanzania—an unforgettable moment set against the Serengeti’s sweeping landscapes. Hanni shared images from the trip online, captioning one with the date: “05.06.24 I said YES to forever!!!”. The couple, who had been together for six years, first met when she worked in Coronation Street’s press office, later becoming a storyliner before building a career as an influencer
A Day to Remember: Manchester Cathedral Wedding
Jack looked immaculate stepping out of a red Mustang adorned with a white bow, alongside his son Reuben, both dressed in cream suits, bow ties, and sunglasses . Hanni arrived shortly after in a striking wedding gown: a full white skirt paired with an off-the-shoulder lace bodice and long sleeves, topped with a veil and tiara—a perfect fairy-tale vision .
The ceremony was set against the Gothic grandeur of Manchester Cathedral, with 150 white padded seats laid out and a stunning floral altar enhancing the solemn elegance of the event
A Strong Corrie Presence: Co-Star Groomsmen and Guests
Two of Jack’s closest Coronation Street co-stars, Colson Smith (Craig Tinker) and Ben Price (Nick Tilsley), stood by his side as groomsmen. Both appeared in coordinated dark suits with bow ties and floral lapel pins, supporting their friend as he embarked on the next chapter
Other familiar faces from Albert Square were in attendance, including Jack’s on-screen sister Tina O’Brien (Sarah Platt), arriving in a summery blue dress, and niece Lucy Fallon (Bethany Platt) in a yellow gown. The guest list blended Corrie alumni with personal friends, giving the day a joyful and familial atmosphere
After the vows, the celebrations moved to The Lowry Hotel in Salford, where a lavish reception awaited—catered with no expense spared and accompanied by high-end security provided by Capricorn
A Wedding Funded by Reality Television
In a surprising twist, Jack entered—and won—Celebrity Big Brother 2025, a move he later admitted was motivated in part by the wedding budget. His triumph on the show helped finance the extravagant day, though he confessed he’d originally had no intention of winning
This candid revelation sparked debate among fans, with some criticizing Jack for expressing stress over expenses despite his reputed £250,000-a-year ITV salaryality Behind Glam
Earlier this year on his podcast On The Sofa—co-hosted by Colson and Ben—Jack spoke about his first wedding planning argument with Hanni: outfitting the children. Jack pushed back at paying for suits for ten kids, joking about their chaotic wear-and-tear on the big day. Family stepped in to cover the costs, allowing the couple to find a compromise
Jack has admitted he rarely keeps in touch with former Coronation Street co-stars, though friendships endure through their podcast. He assured listeners that he and Colson remain close through their work together, even after Craig’s exit from the soap
