Career
Before taking on the role of David, Shepherd had appeared in episodes of TV's Where the Heart Is, and Clocking Off where he starred with his future Coronation Street screen sister Tina O'Brien.
Shepherd has taken time out of Coronation Street to do theatre work, including the role of Riff in a production of West Side Story as part of Stage 84 The Yorkshire School of Performing Arts[2] He has also appeared in Oliver! at Bradford's Alhambra theatre.[3]
In 2008, Shepherd appeared in Ghosthunting with Coronation Street on the Isle of Man.[4]
Shepherd uses his middle initial in his stage name as there is already a well-known British actor named Jack Shepherd.[5]
He is also a contributor to the topical show Grouchy Young Men, a spin-off of the show Grumpy Old Men, on the British version of Comedy Central.[6]
Personal life
Shepherd was in a relationship with Lauren Shippey for fifteen years from 2002-2017, and the couple have two children together: a daughter, Nyla, born in 2009 and a son, Reuben, born in 2013. He fathered another child, a son named Greyson; following a one-night stand in 2010. Shepherd has reportedly never met Greyson.[7]
He is well-known for his role as David Platt on Coronation Street alongside co-stars Helen Worth and Tina O'Brien. It has been revealed that Shepherd is being paid £200,000 a year for his role on Coronation Street, a much larger sum than longer-serving co-stars Simon Gregson and Sue Nicholls.
