Coronation Street's Jack P Shepherd appeared to be feeling the World Cup fever a little too much after he was pictured slumped 'unconscious' in a lift.

However the soap star has taken it in good spirits and posted the snap on Instagram with the caption: 'I was texting Gareth saying... it's coming home', referring to the England manager Gareth Southgate.

In an image taken by a passerby and obtained by The Sun, Jack, who plays David Platt on the soap, can be seen fast asleep in a lift wearing an England shirt after watching the Colombia match on Wednesday evening.

However when he was discovered at around midnight in a block of flats in Manchester, the actor had still managed to hold onto his phone and a bottle opener.

Jack was found by a Corrie fan who found it too awkward to wake him up so simply stepped over him and made her way to her boyfriend's flat.

She did however kindly send the lift back down to the ground floor so Jack could get out easily safely. Her friend told the Sun: 'She found it too awkward to wake him up.

'She just went to get in the lift and Jack was passed out on the floor. He'd clearly had too much to drink and enjoyed himself after the football.' 

Earlier this month, the actor fuelled speculation that he has got down on bended knee during his romantic getaway on the Greek island of Mykonos with his girlfriend Hanni Treweek.

The Corrie star, who has been dating Hanni for nine months, set tongues-wagging after he took to Instagram Stories and shared a short clip of him and Hanni with the caption: 'She said yes.'

Continuing to tease fans over their relationship status Jack's previous shot on the photo-sharing platform was of them passionately packing on the PDA.

Jack confirmed their relationship in November, shortly after splitting from fiancé Lauren Shippey after 15 years together. 

MailOnline has contacted Jack P. Shepherd's rep for comment.
