Coronation Street star Jack P. Shepherd recently stunned his co-hosts by revealing the results of his third hair transplant. The actor, known for his role as David Platt, appeared on the podcast he co-hosts with Colson Smith and Ben Price, initially wearing a hat.
Shepherd, 38, explained that baldness continues to progress, making a third procedure necessary. He underwent transplants in 2018, 2019, and most recently. This latest surgery involved shaving his head, a technique he learned maximizes hair follicle extraction, allowing for 4,000 follicles to be transplanted compared to 1,500-3,000 in previous procedures.
He previously stated that his decision was driven by a need to support his long-term mental well-being. After 20 years on the show since the age of 12, Shepherd acknowledged the demanding schedules and emotional toll of his role, particularly concerning his character's storylines.
