Coronation Street star Jack P Shepherd has revealed how he was involved in a terrifying fireball incident while enjoying a weekend away in the Lake District with his girlfriend. The actor, who is famed for playing David Platt in the ITV soap, and his partner Hanni Treweek headed on their UK getaway to celebrate Valentine's Day earlier this month.

The soap star was quick to admit that this hot tub was different to what he was used to, saying
