Coronation Street actor, Jacob Roberts, who plays Detective Constable Kit Green in the ITV soap, appeared to be caught up in a late night row outside an Irish bar in Manchester
Corrie star, Jacob Roberts, has been caught on camera in a spat outside a boozer at 2am.
The actor, 36, who plays Detective Constable Kit Green in the ITV soap, was in Manchester with his pals, trying to get into Kiely’s Irish bar.
In video footage, Jacob, who stands at 6ft 4in tall, appears to call one of the bouncers outside the pub a “d**k” after he is denied entry into the venue, with a uniformed police officer later seen talking to the actor and his friends.

Claiming they had to call the police after the Hollyoaks star wanted to come in as the bar was closing, a staff member told The Sun: “We were closing for the night, but he wanted to come in. He was giving it, ‘Do you know who I am?’. I had to phone the police.”
The staff member, from Kiely’s Irish Bar in Manchester, added: “He thinks he is something special because he is out of Coronation Street. He really isn’t. He wouldn’t move and wouldn’t go away. I didn’t recognise him, but one of my colleagues said, ‘He is off Coronation Street’.”
Claiming Jacob should apologise to the doorman, they concluded: “He should apologise to the doorman. Just because you are on a soap opera it doesn’t mean you can treat people like that.”
On a video posted on YouTube channel BossmanAudit, the doorman can be heard saying: “This man is the policeman from Coronation Street. He’s hitting the doors trying to get in.”
An officer tells the bouncer: “I’ll sort it” as Jacob says: “He’s just being a d**k mate. I’ve walked off from it.” Meanwhile, another man says to the officer: “They said we’re too drunk. We said, ‘All right we’ll leave’.”
Recognising Jacob, who is dating Corrie’s PR manager, from the telly, a voice off camera asks: “Are you an actor?” Nodding, Jacob says “Yes” before smiling and shaking the person’s hand.
Greater Manchester Police confirmed officers attended after a report of a disturbance on Sunday. The Mirror has contacted ITV for comment.
Jacob arrived on the cobbles in 2024 as dodgy detective Kit, Bernie Winter’s (Jane Hazlegrove) long-lost son, and wasted no time stirring up trouble in Weatherfield.
His storylines have been nothing short of explosive, from discovering he’s Brody Michaelis‘ (Ryan Mulvey) dad, to being left fighting for his life following a brutal stabbing attack.
The charming copper has also had quite the romantic journey, enjoying a brief liaison with Shona Platt (Julia Goulding) before embarking on a relationship with Sarah Platt (Tina O’Brien).
Off screen, Jacob is dating Corrie’s PR manager, Caitlin Connolly.
