Coronation Street's Jacob Roberts hints at Kit Green's grim fate after injury

Coronation Street's Jacob Roberts may have inadvertently revealed the grim fate of his character, Kit Green, following a recent injury admission on Monday (July 14).

Jacob made his debut on the ITV soap last year as police officer Kit, who has been grappling with numerous challenges of late.

Kit was first introduced to his biological mother, Bernie Winter (Jane Hazlegrove), who had previously given him up for adoption. He later reconnected with his troublesome school mates, Mick (Joe Layton) and Lou Michaelis (Farrel Hegarty).

Mick found himself behind bars after murdering Craig Tinker (Colson Smith) last month, while Lou is currently in custody following her recent assault on Gary Windass (Mikey North).

Jacob, who portrays Kit, appeared on ITV's Lorraine this morning, where he discussed tonight's shocking episode with host Ranvir Singh. The episode sees Mick return to the street after breaking out of prison, reports Leicestershire Live.

In the hour-long episode, now available for streaming on ITVX, Mick shows up at Underworld in search of his eldest daughter, Joanie (Savanna Pennington).

He traps Sarah Platt (Tina O'Brien) and Tim Metcalfe (Joe Duttine) in the office, while a frightened Sally (Sally Dynevor) hides Joanie on the roof.

Kit soon arrives on the scene, leading to a violent confrontation between the former friends that culminates in Mick stabbing the police officer. A gravely injured Kit is then rushed to hospital, with a horrified Sarah and Bernie looking on.

During his chat on Lorraine, Jacob opened up about a painful incident he experienced while shooting an intense fight scene with his on-screen nemesis.

"Me and Mick, Joe Layton who plays him, all our scenes together, we're pretty much fighting all the time," Jacob remarked, teasing the tumultuous times ahead for his character.

"And you only have half an hour to do the fight scenes with the fight coordinator, so there's no time for error in those sort of scenes," he further divulged.

"He literally lamped me on the chin, and as a true thespian he reacted straight away, like, 'Oh, sorry'. I wish he'd just carried on... My jaw was hurting for the rest of the day."

The 35 year old star didn't shy away from sharing a personal low point that coincided with his Coronation Street debut—the harrowing ordeal of his rescue dog, Bugsy, going missing.

"The first day I was on Coronation Street, I needed someone to obviously mind him, and my dad had taken him out and I think he escaped the leash. He was out for eight hours," Jacob confided.

"He was terrible at recall when I got him... I was just stressing throughout the day... I finished work and was out for two hours trying to rugby tackle a dog, but he's good now."
