Jack Shepherd who plays David Platt in ITV's Coronation Street has been spotted at a luxury Caribbean resort, taking a well-earned break to celebrate his girlfriend's 30th birthday.

Jack who won the 2018 British Soap Award for Best Actor and recently celebrated 20 years on the popular soap, has been staying at the five star Casa De Campo Resort and Villas in the Dominican Republic, during a break in his filming schedule.

Dripping in Hollywood legacy and Hamptons luxury, the resort is no stranger to famous guests having attracted A-list celebrities, politicians and royals for decades from Michael Jackson to Frank Sinatra, Bill Clinton to Rihanna and Beyonce.

Spanning 7,000 tropical acres on the southeastern coast of the Dominican Republic, the resort's facilities include a 370-slip Marina & Yacht Club, Polo & Equestrian Club and tennis centre with 13 courts. This luxury Caribbean destination is also home to three championship golf courses designed by Pete Dye, including Teeth of the Dog, the #1 ranked golf course in the Caribbean.

If sport isn't your scene, head to Altos de Chavón – modelled on a 16th century village and offering boutique shops, museums, art galleries and a 5,000-seat Grecian-style amphitheater inaugurated by Frank Sinatra in 1982. More recently the venue has hosted global superstars ranging from Andrea Bocelli and Julio Iglesias, to Sting, Jennifer Lopez, Elton John and David Guetta.

The five-star resort features 247 rooms and suites in addition to numerous luxury villas with private pools.

Casa De Campo is featured by several leading UK tour operators and can be accessed by international flights to La Romana International Airport, Santo Domingo International or Punta Cana International Airport.
