Speaking about finding the perfect spot, talking to friends Colson Smith and Ben Price on their On The Sofa podcast, the David Platt actor admitted that he entrusted his safari tour guide with the job.
He explained that, due to being surrounded by wild animals, they had to find a spot that was safe enough for him to get out of the jeep and down on one knee.
Jack said: “He had to find a spot that was like ‘ok, we’re in the clear now, you can jump out’. So we jumped out and we were under this tree with a picnic, having our lunch.”
Jack and Hanni have been together since 2017. She is a former Coronation Street researcher and storyliner with the pair meeting through the show.
