Celebrity Big Brother star sparks concern among fans as he ‘goes missing’ from the house
A CELEBRITY Big Brother star has sparked concern among fans as he ‘went missing’ from the house.
Viewers have got stuck into the brand new series, which has welcomed 13 famous faces through its doors, into the iconic abode.
But there’s one star who fans feel has ‘gone missing’ from screens.
After last night’s episode aired, which saw Mickey Rourke given a stern warning by Big Brother, fans questioned where David Platt star Jack P. Shepherd was.
After barely appearing on the screen, one concerned fan wrote: “Is Jack P Shepherd still in the house? Genuinely I haven’t seen him since launch night.”
And another added: “I genuinely didn’t realise Jack was still in the house. Haven’t seen him for days.”
Someone else questioned: “Is Jack P. Shepherd still on the show?”
Jack, 37, is taking time out from his iconic role as David Platt on Corrie to star on CBB, but other fans excited to see him on-screen have questioned his air time.
One person wrote: “Give Jack some airtime ffs,” and a second added: “Please give Jack airtime, he’s why I’m watching.”
Earlier this week, Jack’s co-star Colson Smith revealed the key piece of advice he told his pal before entering the CBB compound.
The Craig Tinker actor, who has filmed his final scenes for the ITV soap, questioned if his pal “was even listening” when he shared his wise words about starring on the 2024 instalment.
Colson, 26, proved a firm fan favourite during his stint on the reality series and came third.
Yorkshire-born Colson told how after his CBB success last year, he had received a message asking who in the Coronation Street cast would be ideal for life in the compound.
He immediately thought of Jack, 37 – who had come to watch him during the live show – and added: “If you’re in the industry, it’s such an interesting thing to do.”
Former Labour politician Ed then quizzed about his advice towards Jack and asked: “What did you say, did you say be yourself, keep a low profile to begin with, whats the strategy?”

Colson admitted: “I’ve given him plenty of advice to be fair, the main one was to go in and enjoy yourself because you only get to do a show like this once, so make the most of it.”
Yet talking of the key spot of intel, he added: “I did tell him to make sure he gets a bed, but he was the last into the bedroom last night.
“So I don’t think he was even listening.”
His last action before entering the CBB compound was to turn the backs of his hands to the camera, raising both index fingers and fourth fingers up.
This has now been revealed as his secret sign to his loved one.
With his thumbs splayed out to the side, the gesture is said to mean ‘I love you.’
It is the hand signal of a popular Emoji icon, and based on the American Sign Language.
