Jack P Shepherd mocks ex Corrie co-star Michelle Keegan's selfie

Coronation Street star Jack P Shepherd has poked fun at his former on-screen girlfriend Michelle Keegan for flaunting her body online.

Michelle - who played barmaid Tina McIntyre in Coronation Street until she was killed off earlier this year - posted a selfie on Twitter at the weekend of herself posing in front of the bathroom mirror wearing a cropped white vest - flaunting her tanned, toned abs.

Jack - whose character David Platt used to date Tina and who is a close friend of Michelle - decided to rib the actress for her posing - by dressing up as her.

The 26-year-old actor donned a black wig, white women's vest, fake tan and grey tracksuit bottoms, and pencilled on eyebrows - and a tight six pack onto his own midriff, to recreate Michelle's look.

Michelle had captioned her picture, "Saturday night chill night!" so Jack opted for, "Monday. Chillin out in da gents."

Jack's tweet has already been favourited over 3,000 times, but not quite matching Michelle's 11,000.

Coronation Street co-star Andrew Whyment replied: "Mate that's quality," and fellow Corrie actress Georgia May Foote wrote, "This is hilarious Jack!"
