Coronation Street Star's Son Lands Major TV Role in Rival Soap

Following in His Father's Footsteps

Coronation Street star Jack P. Shepherd's son, Reuben, has secured a significant acting opportunity at just 10 years old, but it's not on the cobbles.

From Soap to Soap

Reuben will be portraying Curtis in Channel 4's Hollyoaks starting this September, reminiscent of how his father, Jack, began his career as David Platt on Coronation Street at the age of 12.

A Chip Off the Old Block

According to a source, Reuben is impressing on set and displaying his talent, indicating a promising future in the industry. He is the spitting image of his father.

Family Ties

Jack shares Reuben and a daughter named Nyla with his ex-fiancee Lauren Shippey. The family runs the 13 Performing Arts School in Greater Manchester, where Reuben hones his craft.

Following Success

Reuben's television debut was five years ago in an advert for a Yorkshire furniture firm, showcasing his early talent and potential.

Love in the Air

Meanwhile, Jack recently proposed to his girlfriend Hanni Treweek during a romantic safari holiday in Africa, culminating in a joyous engagement announcement on social media.

Jack and Hanni have been together for six years, initially meeting when Hanni worked in the press office of Coronation Street before transitioning to a career as a fashion influencer.
