Coronation Street's Jack P Shepherd embroiled in fierce gender row over equal pay

JACK P Shepherd has sparked a major debate regarding gender equality on Twitter.

The Coronation Street cast member, who has played David Platt on the soap for 18 years, triggered a fierce argument when he created a poll which asked whether men and women should be payed equal wages.

He wrote: "Talking about women's equal pay and interested on male opinions. If you could choose your wife to earn LESS/SAME/MORE which would you choose?"

The poll gave the option to vote less, more or the same.

Jack's poll received 3,167 votes in total, with 64% voting that women and men should be paid equally and 31% voting that women should get paid more.

DEBATE: Jack posed a divisive question to his 420,000 followers

“Talking about women's equal pay and interested on male opinions. If you could choose your wife to earn LESS/SAME/MORE which would you choose?”

Jack P Shepherd

A small 5% voted that they would prefer if their wife earned less than them.

Although Jack, 30, didn't give his opinion on what he had voted, he ignited a massive debate among his 420,000 followers by merely touching on the subject.

"Why wouldn't a husband chose more? Ego? Pride? It's disgusting. Male/female/duck or goose. Equality is important," one user snapped.

"I can't believe we live in a world where this question even has to be asked. Women should earn the same as men in any and all professions," another added.

Meanwhile Jack's Corrie colleague Nicola Thorp, who plays David Platt's girlfriend Nicola Rubinstein, chimed in with her opinion on the matter.

"I dread to think what conversation lead to this poll," she tweeted.

Coronation Street's Jack P Shepherd embroiled in fierce gender row over equal pay

JACK P Shepherd has sparked a major debate regarding gender equality on Twitter.

The Coronation Street cast member, who has played David Platt on the soap for 18 years, triggered a fierce argument when he created a poll which asked whether men and women should be payed equal wages.

He wrote: "Talking about women's equal pay and interested on male opinions. If you could choose your wife to earn LESS/SAME/MORE which would you choose?"

The poll gave the option to vote less, more or the same.

DEBATE: Jack posed a divisive question to his 420,000 followers

“Talking about women's equal pay and interested on male opinions. If you could choose your wife to earn LESS/SAME/MORE which would you choose?”

Jack P Shepherd

A small 5% voted that they would prefer if their wife earned less than them.

Although Jack, 30, didn't give his opinion on what he had voted, he ignited a massive debate among his 420,000 followers by merely touching on the subject.

"Why wouldn't a husband chose more? Ego? Pride? It's disgusting. Male/female/duck or goose. Equality is important," one user snapped.

Meanwhile Jack's Corrie colleague Nicola Thorp, who plays David Platt's girlfriend Nicola Rubinstein, chimed in with her opinion on the matter.

Jack P Shepherd

A small 5% voted that they would prefer if their wife earned less than them.

Although Jack, 30, didn't give his opinion on what he had voted, he ignited a massive debate among his 420,000 followers by merely touching on the subject.

"Why wouldn't a husband chose more? Ego? Pride? It's disgusting. Male/female/duck or goose. Equality is important," one user snapped.

Meanwhile Jack's Corrie colleague Nicola Thorp, who plays David Platt's girlfriend Nicola Rubinstein, chimed in with her opinion on the matter.

"I dread to think what conversation lead to this poll," she tweeted.
