SHOCKING NEWS!!! Coronation Street star explains why Kit framed Nathan

Coronation Street newcomer Jacob Roberts has explained why his character Kit framed

villain Nathan Curtis.

Following the long-running mystery of Lauren Bolton’s disappearance, Bethany Platt’s

Talking about his favourite scene so far, he shared: “I like the stuff where Kit shows a bit of a vicious side, and he tries to hurt Bernie like she hurt Kit. But those scenes haven’t come out yet…”
