The storyline surrounding the schoolboy has seen Jack be bullied for being the result of an affair and having 'two dads'. Kevin Webster had an affair with Tyrone Dobbs' partner Molly while he was married to Sally Metcalfe.
As Molly passed away, she told Sally that Kevin was actually Jack's real father. Jack only found out by accident that he was the result of the affair after overhearing a conversation between Kevin and his sister.
Another Corrie fan wrote: "Love how in #Corrie they keep stressing how Jack is like 11 years old when the young actor playing him is clearly around 15 years old." A viewer tweeted: "Did I just hear right Jack Webster is only 11 @itvcorrie I’m sure he’s about 14 #corrie."
Someone else wrote: "Why is Jack in Corrie who looks about 15 in a class full of 8-9-year-olds? Ridiculous. I’m sorry but he needs to be recast, why is he in a school with kids half his age #corrie."
