Soap fans will soon see two of Britain’s biggest soaps collide, as Coronation Street favourite Jack P Shepherd has teased the upcoming crossover with Emmerdale. The actor, best known for playing David Platt on the ITV cobbles, exclusively told Daily Star at the National Television Awards that rumours are swirling about the special project.

Jack revealed: “Yes, there is a crossover episode between Emmerdale and Corrie, I’m not sure if the scripts are out yet but there is a lot of buzz around them. I think they’re filming around October time.”

The soap star admitted his dream would be to work with Danny Miller, who plays Aaron Dingle in the Yorkshire-based soap.

“My dream crossover would have something to do with the Dingles, that’s the big family, that would be good. I like Danny Miller, I would like to do some scenes with him,” Jack shared.

When asked if his crossover wish was more about reuniting with pals, Jack laughed: “I just want to be with my mates, it would be great.”

The idea of Emmerdale’s famous Dingle clan crashing onto the cobbles has already set fan imaginations running wild. Social media has long called for soap worlds to collide, and Jack’s comments will be sure to get fans excited after the crossover was previously confirmed.

David Platt, known for his quick wit, dodgy dealings, and turbulent family history, could be the perfect character to go toe-to-toe with Emmerdale’s Aaron, who himself has been through years of heartbreak, fights, and gritty drama.

The NTAs were hosted at London’s O2 Arena on Wednesday (September 10) and saw the best in the TV biz come together for a night of celebration including This Morning hosts, Love Island stars and soap actors alike.

Drinks were generously provided by Kylie Minogue, Gary Barlow, Heineken, and Birra Moretti, while the unforgettable atmosphere was expertly orchestrated by events agency Scenario UK.
