The conversation started when EastEnders icon Patsy Palmer remembered legendary actress June Brown, who played Dot Cotton on the BBC soap.
Patsy said: “She worked at EastEnders until she was in her 90s.”
Jack shared: “Bill Roach is 93,” as Donna Preston asked: “Who’s that?”
Soap star Jack replied: “Ken. He’s been in it for 65 years.”
Jack went on to say: “I’ve known him for 25 years, he still calls me f****** David.
“He calls me David, he seems me in the corridor and he goes ‘morning David’.”
Chesney Hawkes said: “He is 93,” as Donna added: “That’s genius.”
CBB fans were left in hysterics at the story.
One wrote: “I think there’s a bit of Bill Roach in all of us, I’ve seen more tweets calling him David Platt than I have Jack.”

A second quipped: “That was Ken Barlow shouting get Jack out.”
A third commented: “That task was entertaining and Jack’s story about Ken Barlow was very funny.”
“Jack talking about Ken Barlow with no care whatsoever for moment of the series,” another added.
Jack has been playing David Platt on the ITV soap for 25 years.
While Bill Roach has been part of Coronation Street since the very first episode in 1960.
He even holds the Guinness World Record for the longest-running TV soap star.
Three housemates are set to be shown the door tonight in a triple eviction.
Angellica Bell became the first of the three housemates to be booted off.
Chris Hughes, Ella Rae Wise, Patsy Palmer and Danny Beard are also facing the public vote.
