Corrie's Jack P Shepherd bombarded with creepy messages from fan with hand fetish

Jack P. Shepherd has been bombarded with suggestive messages from a fan with a hand fetish who fantasises about the actor's mitts.

The Coronation Street actor, 31, who plays David Platt in the soap, shared a mortifying screen grab from a follower who has been messaging him since September.

Jack's over-amorous fan complimented his paws in the messages, shared close-ups of them and even wrote: "I want to do things to your hands and nails".

He eventually gave in and responded back, according to a screen grab published by The Sun Online .

"REALLY!? Would never have guessed!" Jack wrote sarcastically.

His admirer often responded to Instagram stories in which the star's hands were on full display.

It's no wonder Jack is a soap favourite - he recently charged his fans just £3 for a meet-and-greet.

He refused to rip people off during his up-coming Christmas nightclub appearances.

The Sun on Sunday  reported Jack, who has been in Corrie for nearly 20 years, wants to see as many soap fanatics as possible over the festive season.

He has a number of dates lined up and the £250,000-a-year star will charge less than the cost of a drink to say hello and have a selfie.

A source said: "There is a lot of money to be made from these events, and it's easy money.

"All you have to do is turn up, pose for photos and sip free drinks. It's a very lucrative business - especially because the biggest stars can expect to rake in up to £10,000 from a venue to make a single appearance."

“It’s fair to say Jack will be making a fair bit more than £3 per person that turns up.”
