'Coronation Street' star Jack P Shepherd has said that he is worried about the public reaction to his character David Platt's storylines.

According to the Daily Star Sunday, the 19-year-old actor thinks that viewers might not differentiate between him and his character.

 The actor said: "People tell me off for the way I speak to my mum in the show."

"I have to be careful now where I go. They think David's a bad boy and therefore so am I. I'm worried I could get lynched," Shepherd said.

Upcoming storylines will reportedly see David Platt threatening to kill all of his family and faking his own death in order to ruin his sister's wedding.
