“‘Like a Fairytale!’: Coronation Street Star Jack P. Shepherd Shares First Post-Wedding Update as Co-Stars Beg for an Encore of Magical Day”

“Omg can we do it all again please?”—that was the cry from the cobbles after Coronation Street legend Jack P. Shepherd tied the knot in a breathtaking wedding ceremony that has left his co-stars – and fans – utterly enchanted.

The longtime ITV soap favourite, best known for his fiery portrayal of David Platt, married his partner Hanni Treweek in a glamorous, emotion-filled event on Saturday, July 26, at the iconic Manchester Cathedral. Now, in the aftermath of the day that brought cast and crew together in heartfelt celebration, Jack has offered fans a first look inside the wedding that’s already being called “the soap wedding of the year.”

The love story of Jack and Hanni is one worthy of its own primetime slot. The pair first met in 2017 on the set of Coronation Street—he, an on-screen troublemaker turned family man; she, a scriptwriter working behind the scenes. Fast forward seven years and one unforgettable proposal during a safari adventure in Tanzania, and the couple stood before friends, family, and a host of Corrie co-stars to say “I do.”

And what a spectacle it was.

Arriving in true showman style, Jack pulled up to the grand cathedral in a gleaming red Mustang, dressed in a cream tuxedo that oozed classic Hollywood elegance. His son Reuben, echoing his father’s look in a matching suit, was by his side—adding a poignant touch to the already emotional affair.

The celebration wasn’t just a union of hearts—it was a reunion of Corrie icons. Jack’s long-time co-stars Colson Smith (Craig Tinker) and Ben Price (Nick Tilsley) stood proudly as his groomsmen. Also in attendance were Tina O’Brien (Sarah Barlow) and Lucy Fallon (Bethany Platt), each glowing with joy as they witnessed the man they’ve worked with for years take a life-changing step.

But the moment that tugged on the heartstrings of fans came with the arrival of Helen Worth—Jack’s on-screen mum Gail Platt—who made her first public appearance since her emotional departure from the soap. Holding hands with her real-life husband Trevor Dawson, Helen looked radiant, offering a full-circle moment that delighted longtime viewers.

A Wedding That Took Over Manchester—and Instagram

Jack gave fans a taste of the magic by reposting a teaser reel to his Instagram Stories, created by wedding videographer p.s.visuals. The short video featured cinematic shots of the couple against the backdrop of Manchester’s architectural grandeur, capturing laughter, tears, and a dance floor that never seemed to stop moving.

The caption on the reel read:
“A short teaser from the Manchester takeover for the wedding of @hannitreweek and @jackpshepherd88. What an incredible team. What an incredible day.”

In the hours that followed, the comments section of the post turned into a digital love letter from the Corrie family.

  • Georgia Taylor (Toyah Battersby) couldn’t contain her emotions: “Omg can we do it all again please?”
  • Daniel Brocklebank (Billy Mayhew) added: “An absolutely stunning day!! Thank you both so much for having us there to share it with you x”

A Coronation Street Legacy Cemented

Jack P. Shepherd joined Coronation Street in 2000 as a mischievous young David Platt. Over the years, he has become a cornerstone of the soap, tackling explosive storylines from mental health struggles to brushes with the law, family feuds, and even attempted murder—all with a grit and emotional depth that made him a fan favourite.

But Saturday was no soap storyline. This was real. And for a star who’s spent nearly a quarter of a century on Britain’s most beloved cobbles, this wedding marked a personal and professional milestone.

For Jack, the love story with Hanni is as much about healing and growth as it is about romance. The actor, who has spoken candidly about navigating fame, fatherhood, and mental health, now begins a new chapter with a partner who understands every beat of his world—having helped shape its storylines behind the scenes.


Behind the Scenes, But Front and Center

Though Hanni Treweek may have once worked behind the camera, she was very much the leading lady on their big day. Wearing a stunning gown that combined vintage charm with modern elegance, she wowed guests as she walked down the aisle, the sunlight filtering through the stained glass of Manchester Cathedral adding an ethereal glow.

The couple’s shared love of storytelling was evident throughout the celebration—from handwritten vows to speeches filled with humour, heartbreak, and history.

And the location? Manchester Cathedral offered grandeur, but also emotional resonance. For two creatives whose lives have been entwined with the spirit of Manchester’s most iconic TV show, there was no more fitting place to say their vows.


A Day to Remember—and Maybe Repeat?

While the wedding may be over, the love from friends and fans continues to pour in. The sheer number of “Let’s do it again!” sentiments from co-stars reflects just how deeply loved and respected Jack and Hanni are in the Coronation Street family.

The day wasn’t just about marriage—it was a celebration of friendship, storytelling, legacy, and the kind of love that stands the test of time (and tabloid headlines).

Whether you’re a die-hard Corrie fan or just someone who loves a good real-life love story, Jack and Hanni’s wedding has offered a moment of joy, unity, and renewal—a refreshing reminder that even in the most dramatic worlds, happy endings do exist.


From Weatherfield’s wild child to a devoted groom, Jack P. Shepherd has never looked more at home. And with his new wife by his side, the next chapter promises to be the most beautiful one yet.
