Corrie's Jack P Shepherd reveals he was DJ at sister's 'Covid wedding' that had just 15 guests

Jack P Shepherd has revealed his sister got married in what he described as a "Covid wedding".

The Coronation Street star, who has played David Platt for 20 years, said he was asked to step in as the DJ at the ceremony, which lasted just 20 minutes.

His sister Amy got him to play Dancing in the Dark by Brunce Springsteen from his phone while she walked down the aisle.

Jack, 32, also revealed that just 15 people, which included the bride and groom, were at the wedding due to coronavirus restrictions.

All of the guests wore masks but the couple took theirs off when it came to them saying their vows.

Speaking on the Sofa Cinema Club podcast, Jack said: "My sister got married so I've been to a Covid wedding.

"There was 15 people including the bride and groom.

"We all met outside at Leeds Town Hall. We all had to walk in keeping distance, bride and groom had masks on - not when they were doing the vows.

"I got lumbered with being DJ. She said, 'I'm going down the aisle to Dancing in the Dark by Bruce Springsteen, you need to play it on your phone.'"

Jack said having less guests was actually better as it meant his sister and brother-in-law could invite only the people they wanted there.

He added: "There's no buffet. 20 minutes in and out - perfect!

"My sister loved it.

"Don't forget, it's brilliant because you don't have to invite those people that you don't like... 20 minutes and then you're on the motorway.

"Done."
