Shepherd was crowned winner ahead of fellow finalists:
Danny Beard (Runner-up)
JoJo Siwa (Third)
Donna Preston (Fourth)
Chesney Hawkes (Fifth)
Chris Hughes (Sixth)
The 37-year-old actor, who plays David Platt in the ITV soap, told Celebrity Big Brother presenters AJ Odudu and Will Best he was "blown away" by the win and that he "didn't expect it".
Jack added: "I mean, what is there? Six in the final? I thought I was a shoe-in for maybe fifth, honestly, and then as people were just disappearing, I thought, surely not.
'When JoJo (Siwa) went my head fell off. I had her nailed down (as the winner).
'JoJo went and then it was me and Dan in the final.'
Danny, after being named Celebrity Big Brother 2025 runner-up, revealed he'd had "the best time" in the house.

He said: "I've had the best time every single day. I've made friends that I know I'm going to have for life.
'And I love this show, so I'll not sleeping tonight guys, I'm going home, and I'm going to stream every single episode."
JoJo and Chris' friendship has been one of the big talking points to come from the 2025 Celebrity Big Brother series.
The pair were both quizzed about it upon their departure from the Big Brother house on Friday night.

Hughes, who was the first evicted during Friday's final, broke down in tears while speaking about his friendship with JoJo.
The former Love Island star and ITV racing presenter said: "JoJo was like a pure rock to me.
"She was someone I can have fun with, and I had fun with her every day, and it was just like, that is to me, it's like a beautiful friend.
"She to me last night, 'you're someone in my life I didn't know that I needed, or was once missing'.
"She reminded me a lot of this, sorry I might get emotional now, but the thing that fascinated me most about her is not the stuff that she's done, because I was still finding out stuff she'd done even yesterday, it was what she's come through, and what she's been through when she was a teenager.
"And that's similar to what my ex-girlfriend went through, so kind of seeing how they are both similarly as people, I mean in the respect that she's come through a lot, and she is purely a nice person, and I'm saying the similarities is in the personality.

"She's so close that I don't mind admitting that. I love my boyfriends, like I love Ches (Hawkes), but in a different way, when I love people, whether it's platonic or not.'
When asked by AJ about the pair sharing a bed, he commented: "We were just messing around, we were being kids."
JoJo, upon her departure from the house, added: "We absolutely love and adore him, he is in my life for forever now.
"I'm so incredibly grateful for him, he has helped me have my hard times in this house, he's helped me get through them, but more importantly, he has helped me create my happiest times in this house.
"He is more than a friend, he is just such a special guy, I'm so lucky."
