Jack P Shepherd, who plays David Platt in Coronation Street, has a wax figure at Madame Tussauds Blackpool.

Jack P Shepherd, who plays David Platt in the ITV soap Coronation Street filmed in Salford, had his wax figure unveiled at Madame Tussauds Blackpool in 2022. The figure was placed alongside other iconic Coronation Street characters including Jack and Vera, Bet Lynch, Deirdre and Ken, and Michelle Connor.

Shepherd described seeing the figure face-to-face as 'incredibly surreal', saying it looked like him and captured the essence of his character. He called it 'a massive honour' to appear alongside other Street characters and the other figures at the attraction. Four years on, he marked the anniversary by posting behind-the-scenes images and video clips on Instagram showing him selecting the figure's eye colour and seeing the completed wax figure for the first time, saying he still 'pinches himself' about the honour.
