Jack, 37, has played the role of David Platt for decades on Coronation Street.
He first appeared in the serial drama back in 2000 as the young son of the long-suffering Gail Platt (Helen Worth).
Samia Longchambon, 42, joined the soap in the very same year as Maria Connor and has starred on the show ever since.
After Jack's triumph over five of his fellow housemates on Celebrity Big Brother, the duo finally reunited on set.
On the cobbles, the pair work together in David's grandmother Audrey's (Sue Nicholls) hair salon.
The actress took to social media as she posted a selfie from the set of the iconic Rovers Return.
She beamed from ear to ear as she posed next to her longtime colleague.
Jack gave off one of his signature smirks as he was dressed in a casual grey denim overshirt.
Her post caption read: "He's back.. and full of hot tea! Missed ya @jackpshepherd88 #winner."
A clear reference to Jack's infamous love of tea in the social experiment house.

A second exclaimed: "My fav corrie hairdressers are back."
Coronation Street's 2024 shock exits
Corrie has said goodbye to several cast members this year. Let's break down who's left the famous soap:
Eliza Woodrow (Savannah Kunyo) has said farewell to Corrie to start a new life in Germany.
The youngster moved to live with her dad Dom Everett, who went back on the £10,000 bribe Eliza's grandfather Stu had offered to keep him out of her life.
Paul Foreman (Peter Ash) will bow out of the soap this summer when he loses his fight with motor neurone disease (MND) in tragic scenes.
After being diagnosed last year, the fan favourite was devastated to learn he only had months left to live.
Viewers know he is planning to take his own life to end his suffering.
Summer Spellman (Harriet Bibby) departed the cobbles after being offered the opportunity of a lifetime to study in America.
Though she struggled to decide with her stepdad Paul's impending death from MND, she was convinced she had to live her life to the full.
Simon Barlow (Alex Bain) has struggled with the sudden departure of his father Peter from the cobbles.
The Weatherfield legend left his family and loved ones behind on Boxing Day, 2023, when his wife Carla Connor encouraged him to travel around the world with a friend.
Simon's been on a downward spiral ever since and his exit could end in tragedy.
Alya Nazir is set to leave the cobbles as actress Sair Khan prepares to go on maternity leave ahead of the birth of her first child.
It looks likely she'll be heading to Dublin after securing a lucrative new job, leaving her colleague and fling Adam Barlow behind.
Show stalwart Sue Cleaver, who plays Eileen Grimshaw, is taking a break to star in the Sister Act The Musical UK tour. She will be back filming in May once her dates on the tour come to an end.
Her character left the Street after her son Jason broke his back after falling off a moped in Asia.
"Welcome back winner," stated a third fan.
While someone else joked: "Jacky TEA Shepherd our winner."
And a fifth sarcastically added: "At long last. Good sense of humour is back on the street."
This comes after Jack returned to work on the set of Corrie just days after his victory.
On X, one fan shared how multiple cast members stopped their cars for selfies with them near the show's Salford set.
Among them was Jack, fresh off his big win in the live final of ITV's second instalment of Celebrity Big Brother.
