Jack P. Shepherd's Corrie advice
Tuesday, 11 November 2008
Jack P. Shepherd has been asking his 'Coronation Street' co-stars for parenting advice.
The 20-year-old actor - who plays evil character David Platt on the ITV soap - has been chatting to castmembers in a bid to ensure he is prepared for the birth of his first child with girlfriend Lauren Shippey.
He said: "Ryan Thomas has just had a baby with Tina O'Brien so I asked him what he did in the delivery room. He told me he was doing the usual holding of the hand and rubbing the back. He has a proper fear of blood though, so I think it was a case of 'Clean that baby up before it comes anywhere near me'.
"But I can walk up to anyone at 'Coronation Street' and ask them about fatherhood - there's loads of people going through the same thing!"
Jack also revealed he has stopped drinking alcohol to support Lauren, 20, during the pregnancy.
He added: "Now Lauren can't drink she doesn't go out, and if Laurens not going out then I'm not allowed to go out! I haven't really missed it though, to tell you the truth."
Lauren added: "I've got a rule that if I'm pregnant, Jack is pregnant!"
