Jacob Roberts, known for his role as Kit Green on the popular show Coronation Street, has captured the hearts of viewers. Joining the cast in 2024, he portrays the character Kit, who entered the scene as Bernie Winter’s estranged son, swiftly becoming involved in significant soap opera moments.

In current soap opera events, Kit faces a pivotal moment as his girlfriend Sarah, played by Tina O’Brien, gets arrested on suspicion of killing Theo Silverton. The tension escalates as Sarah learns she might face imprisonment, with Kit stepping in to aid her in evading justice, attracting the attention of DS Lisa Swain.

Before his Coronation Street role, Jacob starred as Damon Kinsella on Hollyoaks for six years before transitioning to his part as Kit in 2023. Jacob shared a challenging experience just before joining Coronation Street, where he found himself doing odd jobs due to the lack of acting opportunities post-Hollyoaks.

In a personal revelation, Jacob disclosed his romance with Caitlin Connolly, Coronation Street’s publicity manager, on social media in October 2025. The couple’s relationship has blossomed, receiving warm approval from their colleagues on the show.

Throughout his time on Coronation Street, Jacob’s towering height of 6ft 4in has been a topic of discussion, with co-stars playfully referring to him as the Jolly Green Giant. He humorously mentioned the challenges of fitting his tall frame into scenes at the iconic Rovers Return pub on the show.

Coronation Street airs on ITV1 and ITVX from Monday to Friday at 8:30 pm. For the latest news updates, consider selecting Daily Mirror as a ‘Preferred Source’ on Google News.
