Kit Green’s world is imploding on Coronation Street, but Jacob Roberts is stepping into one of the happiest chapters of his life. As Kit’s violent secret shocks through Weatherfield, the actor behind him is enjoying a very public and very romantic relationship with a fellow Corrie star. The timing could not be more striking, as on-screen chaos collides with real-life love.
Kit Green’s Confession Unleashes On-Screen Chaos
Friday’s episode delivered a major turning point in the Mal Roper storyline. After days of suspicion and mounting tension, Kit finally admitted to Sarah that he was responsible for Mal’s attack. His confession changed everything and left his future hanging in the balance.
The drama had been building ever since Bernie Winter was arrested at Roy’s Rolls on February 26. Police suspected her of attacking Mal, and she spent the night in a cell facing questioning.
Kit secured a brief visit and firmly insisted he did not believe his mum could carry out such an act. Bernie later explained to DC Browning that her encounter with Mal at the hotel had escalated because his behaviour had become obsessive.
The detective viewed that obsession as a possible motive and remained doubtful. CCTV footage eventually showed Bernie drinking at the shop at the time of the attack, clearing her name. Viewers then discovered the truth that had been hiding in plain sight. Kit had confronted Mal, grabbed him and shoved him, warning him to stay away from Bernie.
The Fallout As Kit’s Secret Threatens To Surface
Kit struggled to contain his guilt while defending Bernie publicly. He appeared distracted at work and reacted angrily when Sarah suggested Bernie might be guilty. The pressure mounted until he broke down and admitted his actions.
He told Sarah that he had only meant to scare Mal. He never expected Mal to suffer a heart attack after the confrontation. Realising how serious the situation had become, Kit headed towards the station prepared to confess. Bernie’s alibi had already cleared her, which means his involvement remains hidden for now.
DC Browning and DS Lisa Swain could still begin connecting the dots at any moment. As viewers watch Kit’s life unravel episode by episode, attention has also turned to Jacob Roberts and the very different storyline unfolding in his personal life. Away from the drama of Weatherfield, Jacob Roberts is happily in a relationship with fellow Coronation Street colleague Caitlin Frances Connolly. The couple confirmed their romance in October 2025 through a cosy Instagram post that quickly drew attention from fans and co-stars alike.
Jacob appeared suited and booted beside Caitlin, and one image showed them sharing a kiss. He captioned the post, “My love to the Ainsworths’,” making their relationship public in a heartfelt way. Support poured in immediately. Since going public, the pair have shared snapshots of weekends away, sun-filled holidays and special occasions together. Kit Green may be battling the consequences of his confession on screen, but Jacob Roberts is clearly embracing a romance that continues to grow stronger off screen.
