CBB Viewers Spot Jack P Shepherd’s Hilarious Lookalike

BBG News

Fans of Celebrity Big Brother have playfully pointed out a striking resemblance to Jack P Shepherd, as a contestant was caught on camera donning a black-and-white striped shirt in the garden.

On this past Monday’s broadcast, I found myself savoring a steaming cup of tea while casually dressed in a loose-fitting top, black denim pants, and my go-to comfortable footwear, the iconic Birkenstock Boston sandals. It was a moment of simple pleasure that truly embodied my relaxed yet stylish lifestyle approach.

The cameras captured Jack, aged 37, standing alone for a minute to think, but spectators swiftly drew comparisons between him and a renowned character.

Spectators playfully pointed out that the Coronation Street actor bore a striking resemblance to the burglar character from The Sims PC game, particularly during scenes where homes were being burgled.

Jack’s vertical-striped shirt, slim-fit black pants, and black footwear strongly resembled the character of The Burglar, found in The Sims, The Sims 2, and The Sims 3 video games.

She’s a well-known Sim known for secretly breaking into homes, often during the night while Sims are sleeping, to pilfer household goods.

Initially absent from The Sims 4’s newest release, Robin Banks was later introduced through an update to the game.

Following Jack’s stealthy movements within the Big Brother garden, viewers flocked to X to discuss possible look-alikes of the soap actor.

1. Original: ‘The way Jack skulks about the house in his stripy tops reminds me of the burglar on Sims.’
‘Jack moving around the house in his striped shirts seems like the burglar character from The Sims to me.’

2. Original: ‘Nice to see Jack serving some Sims realness on tonight’s ep’;
‘It’s great that Jack is emulating The Sims characters in tonight’s episode.’ or ‘Tonight’s episode showcases Jack imitating the characters from The Sims, which is nice to see.’

As a lifestyle connoisseur, I find myself struck by an unusual comparison: Jack seems to move around with the furtive grace of The Burglar character from The Sims. It’s almost as if he’s trying to avoid being caught in a digital world! Or, to put it another way, his stealthy presence in the garden is reminiscent of pausing a Sim’s action mid-step when they unexpectedly enter a room.

Another analogy was drawn to a server at Pizza Express, who, like the server, wears a black-and-white striped shirt.

On the following Tuesday evening, Jack caused quite a laughter among his housemates when he shared that Bill Roache, whom he has worked with for 25 years, still refers to him by his on-screen character’s name.

He shared stories about Weatherfield with his friends during the ITV reality show, offering insights into his bond with Bill, a character who portrays Ken Barlow in Coronation Street.

In my role as a lifestyle connoisseur, I found myself lounging comfortably on Donna Preston’s inviting bed, engaged in a delightful conversation with the talented trio of Patsy Palmer, Chesney Hawkes, and Angellica Bell. During our chat, I casually mentioned, ‘Did you know Ken is 93?’

When asked how long his colleague had been on Coronation Street, he added: ’65 years.’

As I listened to the astonishing news that Bill, an esteemed actor, had been a part of the soap opera “Corrie” for over six decades, making him its longest-running cast member, I couldn’t help but share in the widespread amazement felt by my fellow contestants on Celebrity Big Brother.

‘While I’ve been in here, he could be dead,’ he quipped.

In response to Jack, previously a cast member on Coronation Street with her, Donna exclaimed, “Why, it’s Jesus Christ!”, and Patsy chimed in, “You’d soon discover the truth.

‘Nooo, why would I find out?’ Jack said.

Singer Chesney responded: ‘You’ve been working with him for 25 years.’

Currently, Jack, the actor portraying David Platt on Coronation Street, revealed some surprising information about his on-set camaraderie with another cast member.

He replied, “Regardless, it doesn’t make a difference.” He has been friends with him for 25 years, and yet, he continues to call me “David” with that term of endearment.

In casual encounters, you might find me referred to as David. As we cross paths in the hallway, I’ll greet him with a cheerful “Good morning,” to which he responds with a warm recognition, “Ah, David.

‘Well he is 93,’ Chesney added agreeably.

This statement isn’t entirely accurate, as Bill hasn’t yet celebrated his birthday, which occurs this coming Friday when he turns a certain age (assuming he’s still 92 at that point).

People on X platform shared their laughter at Jack’s remarks and seemed pessimistic about the longevity of his coworker, as indicated by their posts.

I was taken aback when Jack mentioned that Ken Barlow might have passed away during their conversation, especially since they are both on ‘Coronation Street’. It’s hard to believe, #CBBUK.

Jack making light-hearted comments regarding Ken Barlow’s supposed death, unaware that he’s even mixed him up with a figure as significant as the Pope. #cbbuk”

or

“Jack discussing Ken Barlow in an offhand manner, not considering the gravity of the situation during the series. #CBBUK #CBB

‘It seems unlikely that Jack implied Ken Barlow is deceased without sharing more information. #CBBUK #cbb’

Discovering that Ken Barlow refers to Jack as David is hilarious #CBBUK (Coronation Street British University Knowledge)

‘NO WAY is ken barlow 93 #CBBUK’

The duration Jack mentioned, from when he entered until he left the house Ken Barlow might have elapsed, has left me completely drained #CBBUK

This year’s CBB final features Jack, alongside Danny Beard, JoJo Siwa, Chris Hughes, Chesney, and Donna.

The former Corrie star revealed last week he was involved in a terrifying near-fatal car accident. 

He mentioned that he was involved in a severe collision on the M62 highway. To be more precise, he had started to merge onto the slip road at the same location when suddenly his vehicle began to skid, spin out of control, and broke through a safety barrier. As a result, he found himself suspended precariously over a bridge on the M62.

‘The car was a f**king Italian job.’

After making a complete comeback, it seemed that his cohabitants were taken aback upon learning about the auto collision incident.

On Triple Tuesday, Angellica was the initial celebrity to get eliminated, which was later followed by Ella Rae Wise from TOWIE and Patsy, an actress from EastEnders.
