Coronation Street’s Jacob Roberts spoken to by police after ‘drunk’ nightclub spat

Detailed summary

He said, 'Do you know who I am?' when refused entry.

Coronation Street star Jacob Roberts was caught on camera in a late-night bust-up with a nightclub bouncer last weekend.

The actor, who has played Kit Green in the ITV soap since 2024, was spoken to by police after they were called out to defuse the situation.

Roberts, 36, was seen trying to get into Kiely’s Irish bar in Manchester with pals.

‘It was very late last Saturday night,’ a bar worker recalled. ‘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.’

They vented to The Sun on Sunday that Roberts ‘thinks he is something special because he is out of Coronation Street’.

‘He really isn’t,’ the employee claimed, alleging that Roberts ‘wouldn’t move and wouldn’t go away’.

During the heated exchange, the soap star called the security guard a ‘d**k’, and a video posted to YouTube shows the bouncer telling a police officer: ‘This man is the policeman from Coronation Street. He’s hitting the doors trying to get in.’
