UPDATE: |Celebrity Big Brother fans realise Jack P Shepherd’s ‘lookalike’ and declare ‘he needs to win’ News

They started to call for the Coronation Street star to win the series ahead of the final

Celebrity Big Brother fans think they have realised Jack P Shepherd’s ‘lookalike’ as they started to call for him to win the series ahead of the final.

The Coronation Street star didn’t have much luck at the start of his time in the ITV reality show as his fellow housemates unanimously chose him to be up for the first eviction, against former Tory MP Michael Fabricant and Hollywood actor Mickey Rourke.

Jack, who is famed for playing David Platt in the ITV soap, did end up surviving the first eviction but ended up being put up again. However, after being saved by the public once more, the soap star’s votes have dwindled as the drama ramps up elsewhere.

He is now on track for the final, expected to take place live on Friday (April 25), after he escaped being nominated for what will be a triple eviction on Tuesday night (April 22).

Chris Hughes, Danny Beard, Patsy Palmer, Ella Rae Wise and Angellica Bell are all facing the public vote with only two set to remain in the house following the next live eviction.

The decision was made during an intense round of face-to-face nominations during Monday night’s (April 21) episode of CBB and while there was tears and confrontations, Jack seemingly remained unfazed.

By the end of the episode, the actor was seen standing in the garden with a cup of tea pondering his own thoughts before impressing himself with his own brew-making skills.

Sporting a stripy long-sleeved top and skinny jeans, CBB viewers couldn’t help but reminisce over who Jack was reminding them of. @HelloItsLevi said: “The way jack skulks about the house in his stripy tops reminds me of the burglar on sims #CBBUK.”

@TheNeensSpeech commented: “Nice to see Jack serving some Sims realness on tonight’s ep. #CBBUK.” @heather_ymas1 posted: “Jack sneaking about like a burglar from The Sims #CBBUK.”

@Kegzx added: “Jack pondering in the garden is giving the same vibes as cancelling a Sims actions when they walk into a room. I AM HERE FOR IT. #bbuk #cbbuk.”

His actions also sparked a call for him to be crowned this year’s show winner. @ratcliff_jake said: “Everyone losing the plot and Jack just sipping tea in the garden. That guy needs to win #CBBUK.”

@EileenCumi28050 commented: “Jack for the win. He is the only housemate who has been unashamedly himself throughout his time in the house. #CBBUK.” @Hoochie9373 wrote: “Okay Jack needs to win the show he is so quietly hysterical all while enjoying a lovely cup of tea #CBBUK.”

@xitsgeex posted: “Jack and his cup of tea need to win together. #CBBUK.” @hvllyoaks shared: “jack and his cup of tea for the win #cbbuk.”@jennysjarman typed: “It really is jack , the striped top and a cup of tea against the world #CBBUK.”

@_tventhusiast added: “I didn’t want a Corrie actor in BB as they coast but Jack is actually my fav. He’s fun to watch, doesn’t take anything to heart, laughs when he’s up, doesn’t let his mind get influenced by people, isn’t scared to be disliked & just wants his tea & I could go on tbh #CBB #CBBUK.”
