Eeek! Corrie's Jack P Shepherd has hit back at reports that he took a swipe at former Loose Women star Jane McDonald on a recent night out.
According to reports, the 30-year-old actor had drunkenly insulted the popular presenter whilst on an evening out in Manchester, at a bar with some of his fellow soap stars, including Hayley Tamaddon, who plays Del Dingle in Emmerdale, and Daniel Brocklebank, who plays Billy Mayhew in Corrie.
Allegedly, a source told The Sun that Jack began impersonating the Cruising with Jane McDonald star, after Hayley mentioned working with her.
The source reportedly said: “They were drunk and rowdy and getting louder and louder.
“Hayley was talking about being on TV with Jane McDonald and was excited about this. Jack called Jane a cow and started impersonating her, copying her accent, and Hayley kept telling him to stop.”
Uh-oh!
However, Jack has now vehemently denied the speculation, revealing that the story is a “load of c**k”.
He wrote: “
I must sell a lot of papers, what a load of C**k.”
The Corrie veteran was responding to co-star Daniels retweeting of the article, where he too rubbished the claims. Daniel commented: “Slow story day? What a load of rubbish! Non of us were drunk. We had 3 drinks. And nobody was slating anyone. Dont believe what you read folks.”

Earlier this year, Jack P Shepherd received nationwide praise for his portrayal of a difficult storyline for his character David Platt on Coronation Street.
David had found himself a victim of male rape, and was struggling to come to terms with what had happened to him.
Heartbreaking scenes saw the character attempt to self-harm in the wake of the attack, in order to try and cope with the shocking event.
