As the Sun previously revealed, Snoop, 53, is also a huge fan of ITV’s Coronation Street and fancies propping up the bar at the Rovers Return.
Now Jack and his co-stars Colson Smith and Ben Price have spilled the tea about the rapper’s personal message he sent to the cobbles.
Jack said on their podcast, On The Sofa with Colson, Jack and Ben: “Do you remember when he sent the video to us at the live episode party?
“They put it up on the screen of Snoop going ‘yo, yo, yo, Coronation Street, 50 years man, that’s sick’.
“He was loving it. It was mad.
“It was before the days when phones recorded video well and so the clip is now gone, it’s lost somewhere.
“But yeah we got a big happy anniversary off of Snoop Dogg.”
The Drop It Like It’s Hot star sent the message to celebrate the soap’s 50th year – following its famous tram crash in 2010.
Snoop previously told The Sun: “Coronation Street, I love it. If they call me I’ll do it. I’ll play whenever they need.

“I love the cinematography, acting, the storylines and just the reality.
“I’d like to be part of it because they’ve been part of my culture.”
He also hit out at cancel culture insisting: “That’s what the fans love.
“When you get me you’re getting a one of a kind experience.”
