Jack P Shepherd Joins Celebrity Big Brother Cast

Jack P Shepherd, known for his role as David Platt on Coronation Street, is set to join the new series of Celebrity Big Brother, marking a significant addition to the cast. With the show scheduled to return to ITV soon, Shepherd will participate during a pivotal time in his soap storyline, where his character faces a dramatic plot twist involving a near-fatal incident. This follows the footsteps of his Corrie co-star Colson Smith, who appeared on the show last season. Other rumored contestants include TOWIE star Ella Rae Wise, former Love Island participant Chris Hughes, and EastEnders actor James Bye, among others. ITV has emphasized that all names linked to the lineup are speculative at this stage. The new series promises a fresh setting and the return of hosts AJ Odudu and Will Best.
