Coronation Street character David Platt may have (temporarily) outgrown his "evil" past, but the actor who plays him, Jack P Shepherd, has been showing a distinctly devilish streak on the soap recently. The Daily Star reports that Shepherd has been told off by Corrie bosses after sporting a T-shirt with the word "Sha-ting!" – based on a sound effect used by Celebrity Juice's Keith Lemon – on screen. Shepherd tweeted: "Some 'no-lives' have complained about the 'Sha-ting' T-shirt on Corrie so it has been taken off air. But I'm going to auction it off for charity so I will get the T-shirt next week and give you the details if ya want it." The star was previously banned from wearing a T-shirt with the slogan "Turn Me On" – and forced several scenes to be reshot after he wore a top emblazoned "Schwetty Nuts". Jack, don't be a dingbat.
