Coronation Street's Jack P Shepherd reveals he's had a hair transplant after stress of love split made his hair fall out

The 31-year-old actor – who is now dating PR girl Hanna Treweek – split from fiancee Lauren Shippey in 2017 and said stress in his personal life contributed to his hair loss.

Jack has played David Platt in Corrie since he was 12 and revealed he watched his hair slowly thinning on the soap.

He said in a candid post on Instagram: "I could see the difference when I watched myself on screen and when I was travelling in a lift and the mirror would highlight my hair loss.

"A few of the make-up girls at Corrie suggested that I should have it done and I have talked it through with a few people at work.

"My hair loss has definitely accelerated in the last year. I have had a few personal issues off-screen which have been stressful and I am also an insomniac which just adds to my stress levels."




Jack, who has just moved in with Hanni, shared snaps of doctors working on his scalp and added: "It is such a common thing for guys to have now – like a male version of the boob job.

"I decided to have it done because my hair loss has really escalated in the last year, particularly at the front of my scalp.

"I remember seeing myself on screen and thinking: 'Oh my God, it is really falling out.'"

"One of my mates had a transplant and he looked so much better afterwards that I didn't recognise him. I was blown away by the improvement and he told me he wished he had done it earlier.


"I thought if I am going to do it, I should act now so that I can get the benefits for longer. I want to get my hair back to what it was like before so that I can style it at the front any way that I like.

He joked at the end of his post: "It would great to be in a position to have an Elvis quiff and really have some fun with my hair."

Jack and Hanni confirmed they were dating in December 2017.

Jack regularly posts pictures and videos of his girlfriend on Instagram, alongside heartfelt captions to show his affection.

One image of the couple with their heads together laughing saw Jack hail Hanni as "the best thing" ever to have happened to him.
