The late Wycliffe actor Jack Shepherd is reported to have left a substantial part of his estate to his second wife, Ann Scott, in his will. Multiple outlets state that Shepherd died aged 85 in November 2025. According to the reports, the amount left to Scott is described as £977,511, which is close to £1 million and is characterized as a “huge sum” by some coverage. The Daily Mail reports the figure as an exact amount, while another outlet describes it more generally without changing the overall claim that the majority of the inheritance going to his second wife is in the near-£1 million range. Across the articles, there is agreement on the key points that Shepherd is deceased, his age at death was 85, the death occurred in November 2025, and that his second wife Ann Scott receives £977,511 as specified in his will. The reporting focuses on inheritance details rather than other aspects of his estate or personal circumstances.
