A popular star shared with fans that he had fallen down stairs, while holding on to his “baby”. Jack P Shepherd, who is best known for playing cheeky chappy on the ITV cobbles, took to to reassure fans that he was “fine” after the accident.
The 37-year-old soap star looked worlds apart from his on-screen persona as he posted to his Stories wearing a fancy-looking LED face mask – clearly taking his skin care routine very serious.
In a snap, he had a hand full of mugs as his curly hair peaked over the top of the futuristic face mask. He wore a plain white t-shirt, finished off with a gold chain necklace.
Captioning the image, Jack wrote: “Just fell downstairs, carrying three cups of tea, face mask and baby.”
Explaining a bit more about what had happened, the ITV star shared a video as he spoke into the camera. He was still holding the mugs and his “baby”, the pet dog, as he shared: “We’re all ok. I didn’t drop anything.

“I had baby in my right hand, three cups in my left and it was the slipper. The slipper fell off and I went all the way down on my back.
“Kept everything, cups were in hand, didn’t spill anything or drop baby. It was like seeing that p***ed up guy fall on his back carrying a load of pints and he manages to keep them all up right. That was me! But we’re fine.”
Jack recently revealed, amid a number of cast cuts, that he doesn’t tend to keep in touch with his co-stars if they leave the cobbles. The admission came as he chatted to Craig Tinker actor Colson Smith and Nick Tilsley star Ben Price on their podcast, On The Sofa.

Colson is leaving ITV after 14 years, as Jack reassured him and listeners by saying: “Because we’re still doing the podcast I’ll still have a relationship with him.”
He also confessed that he hadn’t reached out to former star Helen Worth, who portrayed his on-screen mother Gail Platt.
Jack explained his lack of communication with past stars, saying: “No, I usually don’t; I don’t. If the opportunity arises, and they phone me, I’ll answer.”
He added: “That’s just all walks of life. I don’t ring anyone really. Who do you ring?”
