ITV Coronation Street's Jack P Shepherd shares 'dangerous' blunder which halted filming
Jack P Shepherd, who has played David Platt for around two decades, admitted filming had to be halted at one point on the ITV soap over a near miss.
Coronation Street actor Jack P Shepherd opened up on a blunder which happened on set. One co-star came a little too close to snipping off another's hair during filming.
Jack, who clinched the Celebrity Big Brother title earlier this year, discussed the near-miss during a recent episode of his On The Sofa podcast. He pointed out he's became a master at the art of pretending to cut hair, with his Corrie character David Platt being a hairdresser for around two decades now.
"David first started cutting hair at the age of 17 which would mean I've mean cutting hair for 20 years," he shared when discussing the ITV soap.
He continued as reported by Digital Spy, "They're real scissors, because they're scissors from whichever makeup artist or supervisor is on that unit. So they just give me their scissors that are out of their bag.
"Usually I go to the back of the person of whoever is there, I take a section and go all the way down the hair using two fingers with the hair in there, and I almost, almost hit the hair but I don't."
Although the actor says he has never made a blunder himself, he disclosed that his co-star Samia Longchambon, who plays Maria Windass, had filming halt when she came dangerously close to cutting actress Kate Ford's hair, who plays Tracey Barlow.
"Samia nearly cut Kate Ford's fringe off," Jack said. "She got her full fringe in her fingers and she almost went down. Kate stopped the take and went, 'Samia, Samia, wait! What are you doing?!'"
In other news on the Cobbles, Coronation Street star Lucy Fallon, famed for her role as Bethany Platt, has flaunted a gorgeous hair transformation. In an exciting update for fans, her future on the Cobbles has been confirmed.
The actress has been taking a break from the ITV soap as she's currently on maternity leave. Lucy, 29, welcomed her second child back in January with footballer boyfriend Ryan Ledson.
In delightful news to fans, it has been confirmed she will be back, as she is returning to filming in the summer after maternity leave. She is set to make an appearance on screens again in October.
Jack P Shepherd had the nation's soap lovers behind him earlier this year when he was crowned the winner of Celebrity Big Brother's 2025 series.
He surpassed fellow finalists Chris Hughes, Chesney Hawkes, Donna Preston, JoJo Siwa and Danny Beard. "I can't believe it, I am blown away I didn't expect it," he said after his win. "I thought I was a shoo-in for maybe fifth. As people were disappearing I thought 'surely not'.
"I just figured that I might annoy a few people and they might not quite know how to work me out and then after a while they changed opinions and, yeah, I guess I was liked by the end."

Russell Martin's partner Lucy Pinder is former glamour model and is friends with Gary Lineker and his ex
Russell Martin's partner Lucy Pinder is former glamour model and is friends with Gary Lineker and his ex The former model will be cheering on her partner at Ibrox next season Martin and Pinder went public with their relationship last year (Image: Instagram: @pinderpix ) Russell Martin has been appointed as the new manager of Rangers, with the former Swansea City and Southampton boss signing a three-year deal to take charge at Ibrox. The 39-year-old former Scotland defender had a short stint at the club as a player in 2018 and has now returned as part of a new era for the Scottish giants, who were taken over by a US-based consortium last week. Martin is said to have been the "standout choice" to turn around the fortunes of the team after a disappointing season saw them end the campaign with no silverware. Joining the manager in Glasgow will be his girlfriend, former glamour model Lucy Pinder, with the couple going public with their relationship last year having dated since August. Pinder will likely be a familiar face to many football fans, having risen to international fame for her work in men's magazines - including FHM, Loaded and Nuts - during the 2000s. She was named as one of FHM's '100 Sexiest Women in the World' on three occasions, while she later moved into TV work, landing a presenting role on Nuts TV and appearing on reality shows including Celebrity Big Brother and Hell's Kitchen. The 41-year-old has also tried her hand at acting, starring in comedy horror film Strippers vs Werewolves in 2012 before appearing in made-for-television disaster flick Sharknado 5: Global Swarming five years later. Article continues below While she didn't quite make it to Hollywood herself, Pinder was previously rumoured to be dating Captain America star Chris Evans, having been seen enjoying a daytime date with the actor in January 2015. However, she has now found love with former Wycombe Wanderers and Norwich City defender Martin, who was sacked as Southampton manager in December. With Pinder a die-hard Saints fan, the couple were said to have "grown closer" during the manager's time at St Mary's, following his split from his wife Jasmine - with whom he shares three children - last year. The former glamour model revealed their relationship in August, sharing a photo of her and Martin in his hometown of Brighton - where he was receiving an honorary degree - on Instagram. When their relationship was revealed, a source told The Sun: "They're a match made in heaven - or at least in Southampton. They're mad for each other." Pinder is also close friends with Cardiff-born model and Gary Lineker's ex-wife Danielle Bux, with the two women recently sharing photos of a night of wine and games that was also attended by Martin and the former Match of the Day host. Bux - who was married to Lineker between 2009 and 2016 but has remained close friends with him since - posted pictures on Instagram of the evening with Lineker's son Harry, 31 and her daughter Ella Willis also in attendance. Lineker previously opened up about his relationship with Bux, telling The Mirror that they split up due to the fact that he didn't want any more children. "Danielle and I are best mates, we still speak three times a day, we text all the time," he said. "When she comes to London she stays with me, and when I go to Los Angeles I see her. Article continues below "It might be unusual and people might go, 'That's weird' but, frankly, I don't care. What is normal? Is it better to get divorced and end up fighting, screaming and shouting? Or is it better to get on if you can?"

Asked if more Pirates Of The Caribbean features are possible, he said: 'Well, I don't know, I can't say anything at the moment because I really don't know, but there's definitely availability. 'I think they're trying to work out what it would all look like, I personally think it'd be great to get the band back together, that would be great, but there are always different ideas, and so we'll see where it lands.' Bloom also spoke about his latest film Deep Cover, which will be released on June 12, saying he took inspiration from Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher when constructing his character. A post shared by This Morning (@thismorning) The Kent-born actor said: 'When I read in the script that (his character) was a northern I was like, 'who's the iconic northerner that I know?'. 'Growing up I went to Knebworth and seeing Liam and the boys, the whole band, but Liam, he's just got that swag, hasn't he? 'I thought if I can get even close to that, I'd have a lot of fun trying, and it sort of lent itself, and I kind of imagined that (he) was sort of this desperate, out of work actor, maybe he worked at like a costume house or something. 'So he'd get really into the costume and what he was wearing, and the Liam look and everything, so it was a really great way into the character, and I had a lot of fun with it.' The Pirates Of The Caribbean series has seen five feature films: The Curse Of The Black Pearl (2003); Dead Man's Chest (2006); At World's End (2007); On Stranger Tides (2011); and Dead Men Tell No Tales (2017); along with the short film Pirates Of The Caribbean: Tales Of The Code: Wedlocked (2011).
