Coronation Street actor Jacob Roberts was caught on camera in an altercation at a bar, with police called to the scene. The actor, best known for playing Detective Constable Kit Green in the ITV soap, was attempting to enter Kiely’s Irish Bar in Manchester with friends at 2am on Sunday (November 15), and appeared to brand one of the pub bouncers a “d**k” after being denied entry to the venue. A uniformed police officer was later seen talking to the group.

A staff member from the pub 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.”

They 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’."

The staffer said: “He should apologise to the doorman. Just because you are on a soap opera it doesn’t mean you can treat people like that.”

In a video of the incident posted to YouTube by BossmanAudit, the doorman can be heard telling a police officer: “This man is the police man from Coronation Street. He’s hitting the doors trying to get in.”

The actor could be heard saying: “He’s just being a d**k, mate. I’ve walked off from it.”

Another man could be heard saying: “They said we’re too drunk. We said, ‘All right, we’ll leave’.”

Jacob was then asked by someone off-camera if he was an actor, and replied “yes”, before shaking the person’s hand with a grin.
