FUMING Corrie bosses had to re-shoot scenes — because Jack P Shepherd wore a rude T-shirt.
Cheeky Jack — villainous teen David Platt — wore a garment emblazoned with the words ‘Schwetty Nuts’.
The naughty T-shirt, which breaches TV guidelines, made it on to one episode with Jack’s character wearing it in the kebab shop and his screen gran Audrey’s hair salon.
He had it on again during filming of scenes due out next Monday.
A source said: “It was spotted by our compliance department, who look for anything that breaches guidelines.
“They then made us go back and re-shoot the entire episode. It airs on Monday, so we were cutting everything very fine.
“The knock-on effect is incredible because everyone is now running behind.”
A Corrie spokesman said: “Jack’s T-shirt was picked up by compliance before we went on air. We had to reschedule a few scenes.”
David Platt is renowned as The Street’s biggest trouble maker.
He nearly killed his little niece Bethany with drugs, pushed mum Gail (Helen Worth) down the stairs and did time after elbowing a woman cop. He was released last month.
