Corrie's Jack P Shepherd charging fans £3 for meet-and-greet nightclub tickets

Coronation Street favourite Jack P Shepherd is charging fans just £3 for a meet-and-greet.

The 31-year-old refuses to rip people off during his up-coming Christmas nightclub appearances.

Some stars are known to charge a bundle when doing PAs.

But The Sun on Sunday say Jack, who has been in Corrie for nearly 20 years, wants to see as many soap fanatics as possible over the next few weeks.

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.”

His bargain prices comes after Only Fools and Horses fans were ticked off after a convention introduced eye-wateringly expensive prices for the chance to meet Sir David Jason.

However, some of those same fans have been left feeling shocked by news that the cost of a photo an autograph with the 79-year-old TV legend will set them back £375.

Many took to social media to vent their frustrations and fury over the high price to meet the comedy actor.

“Absolutely gutted! The ticket fee is completely out of my reach!” one fan seethed on the Only Fools Appreciation Society’s Facebook page.

“Cheers for turning this into an elite day out,” raged another.

While a further fan added: “Will have to find an antique watch in my garage to afford those prices.”
