Jack P. Shepherd admits his romantic getaway to the Caribbean was blighted when "quite a few people died" – and he claims some were "poisoned from minibars".
The ‘Coronation Street’ actor headed to the Dominican Republic with girlfriend Hanni Treweek recently, and while he admits the area was "really nice", the couple found the deaths "a bit hairy".
He said: "I went to the Caribbean, to the Dominican Republic, it was really nice but while we were over there quite a few people died.
"There were a lot of people who’s drinks were all poisoned from minibars. A few British and they died.
"Nowhere near where I was but it was a bit hairy, but I survived and we came back."
Yesterday (27.06.19), it was confirmed another holidaymaker had died in the Dominican Republic, making him the 12th US tourist to perish in the country this year.
The FBI have launched a poisoning probe amid concerns victims may have drank alcohol which was contaminated with methanol or insecticide.
Jack – who plays David Platt on ‘Corrie’ – then treated Hanni to a trip to New York as part of her 30th birthday celebrations.
He added to The Sun Online: "Then we went to New York which was cool."
The 31-year-old actor surprised his significant other by presenting her with an apple which had a dollar bill inside.
He shared the moment in a video on Instagram, and added the caption: "We’re going to New York next week! Happy birthday darling ! @ladyhanni89 (sic)"
