“Still pinch myself that I’m in Madame Tussauds.”
Coronation Street star Jack P. Shepherd has delighted fans by sharing a series of behind‑the‑scenes pictures documenting the creation of his Madame Tussauds Blackpool wax figure.
Jack, best known for his long‑running role as David Platt, marked the fourth anniversary of his figure’s unveiling by posting the images on Instagram. The actor joined the Madame Tussauds Coronation Street line‑up in October 2022.
Reflecting on the milestone on Instagram, Jack wrote: “Still pinch myself that I’m in Madame Tussauds. It popped up on my memories, it’s been four years since my unveiling!”
Jack also shared several photos documenting Madame Tussauds development process, including selecting his eye colour and seeing the completed figure for the very first time.
Fellow cast members were quick to share their views. Catherine Tyldesley commented, “Omg that’s AMAZING!!!” while Claire Sweeney added, “This is fabulous!!!”
Janine Marshall, General Manager at Madame Tussauds Blackpool, said it is ‘wonderful’ to see how much the figure still means to Jack. She said: “Our Coronation Street section is undoubtedly one of our most popular areas.
