Jacob Roberts Reveals His ‘Low Moment’
Jacob Roberts, who plays Kit Green, opened up about his tough times. Before landing his part on the cobbles, the 34-year-old actor had difficulty finding work after his Hollyoaks role. He described it as a low moment.
The actor recalled, “Eight months previously, I was on TV, and now I was in the freezing cold rain on top of a roof, fiddling with a TV aerial.” He mentioned to The Mirror that it was winter, and instead of being inside and working on lines, he was outside up a ladder in the cold, which was a harsh reality check.
The soap star admitted he was anxious about being recognised and questioned about his previous role on Hollyoaks. He emphasised that he wasn’t trying to be pretentious; he was there to work and preferred to avoid unwanted attention. Viewers must remember that Kit entered Weatherfield as Bernie’s long-lost son earlier this year.
With his arrival, a lot of family drama came along. The police officer struggled to bond with his step-siblings, Paul Foreman and Gemma Winter-Brown, as he was still angry about being put into care. Apart from the family, he is pretty involved in the Cobbles drama.
Recently, he was spotted at the pub with Craig, where he got Craig to spill information about past run-ins with the law. Earlier this month, Craig also spilled about Beth’s illegal counterfeit t-shirt business to Kit. Soon after, he was seen chatting with Sid, Beth’s sidekick in the ginnel.
Kit threatened Sid with getting Beth off the team and letting him join instead, or he would gladly report him to the police. Is there more than the eyes meet? Is Kit hiding something?
