Jacob was  known for portraying the role of Damon Kinsella on Channel 4’s Hollyoaks but made his as detective Christopher ‘Kit’ Green in April.  

Kit is the long-lost son of established character Bernie Winter (Jane Hazelgrove) and he admitted it was ‘surreal’ to have landed the job. 

He said: ‘When I walked on set for the first time it actually felt a bit overwhelming because the attention to detail is just incredible, it actually makes you feel that you are on a real street.

‘I got a call just before Christmas and I submitted a self-tape. 

‘I actually put it to the back of my mind and didn’t think much of it because I think I assumed I wasn’t successful after not hearing back. 

‘Around a month later I was invited to a meeting, which was more of a casual audition, and after this was the screen tests which still had five people auditioning for the part but in the end, I got it and was delighted.’

Christopher – who was originally given the name Zodiac before his adoptive parents changed it – came  to Weatherfield to work on the case of Lauren Bolton (Cait Fritton).

Around the time of his debut, viewers saw Bernie disappointed as she tracked down a man with the same name and of the right age only for him to be the wrong person.

Teasing more about his upcoming time on the show, Jacob added: ‘Kit is working as a detective and has been brought in to try and solve the Lauren Bolton case and of course is Bernie’s secret son.

‘I do think he is going to be a very misunderstood character at first. 

‘He’s been really hurt throughout his life and although he has a good heart, he has some deep-rooted resentment with his biological mum, which will be really interesting to play out.’
