Coronation Street' star Jack P Shepherd shares honest reaction to awards snub
Coronation Street's Jack P Shepherd has expressed his "shock" at missing out on a British Soap Award last weekend (Saturday, May 31).
The actor, who has played David Platt since he was just 12 years old in 2000, is a key part of the Platt family and recently celebrated his 25th anniversary on the show.
Jack's character has had several near-death experiences on Corrie, including a terrifying incident in 2003 when Richard Hillman attempted to kill the Platt family by driving them into a canal.
Despite these dramatic moments, Jack was nominated for Best Comedy Performance at this year's British Soap Awards, alongside Patsy Palmer (EastEnders), Nicola Wheeler (Emmerdale) and Nicole Barber-Lane (Hollyoaks).
Having previously won Villain of the Year in 2008 and Best Actor in 2018, Jack was hoping to add a third award to his collection, reports Leicestershire Live.
In response to his On The Sofa co-star, Colson Smith, Jack joked: "I've been trying for years to get a nod for comedy because I've never been nominated for it before."
Reflecting on his disappointment at not winning, he admitted: "It was a shock.
"If you watched it the other night, you will notice that my reaction is genuine. And I'm completely blown away that I didn't win."
In an earlier episode of the show, Jack had admitted he would have been especially "devastated" if he had lost out on the award to Patsy Palmer.
Despite the potential disappointment, the 37 year old emphasised that there was never any "hatred or rivalry" when watching stars from rival soaps take to the stage for their prizes.
Corrie's Jack P. Shepherd certainly didn't hide his shock during the recent ceremony, as Coronation Street actors left with little to toast, compared to EastEnders which dominated the evening by sweeping up seven awards.
Only David Neilson managed to snag a trophy for the Weatherfield regulars at the eventful night.

EastEnders' Phil leaves Julie shaken in outburst as they clash over Nigel
Tensions between EastEnders' Phil Mitchell (Steve McFadden) and Julie Bates (Karen Henthorn) reach boiling point next week as Phil drops a bombshell about Nigel Bates' (Paul Bradley). Julie was recently reunited with her estranged husband Nigel, who had walked out on their life together in a bid to hide his dementia diagnosis from her. While she had planned to take him back home to Scotland to look after him, Nigel ultimately decided he wanted to stay in Walford with his old friend Phil, who he had been living with since returning to the BBC soap after 27 years at Christmas. Ultimately, Phil invited Julie to move in with him and Nigel at No.18, but things haven't exactly been smooth sailing between the pair. After a short trip back to Scotland, Nigel and Julie arrive back on the Square with their three pet chickens next week, and Phil is soon struggling with the new dynamic in his household. As Julie gets busy organising everything and making decisions, Phil gets annoyed that she's changing Nigel's routine. He's further agitated when the chickens keep everyone awake, making his relationship with Julie even more strained. When the pair both accompany Nigel to an assessment, he gets stressed by their constant sniping, which results in an almighty clash between Phil and Julie over their different approaches to Nigel's care. But Phil then has an outburst which leaves Julie shocked to the core, and she's left demanding answers about the revelation. Want to be the first to hear shocking EastEnders spoilers?
