Jacob Roberts was flooded with messages as he gave a personal update on someone very close to his heart
Coronation Street star Jacob Roberts has been flooded with messages as he gave a personal update on someone very close to his heart. The actor was marking a whole 12 months since he rescued his beloved pet pooch, Bugsy.
Jacob, who joined the ITV soap earlier this year as Kit Green, took to Instagram over the weekend with a string of pictures and videos of himself with his dog, enjoying everything from the great outdoors to cuddles on the sofa.
Alongside the post, the soap star shared: “One year spent with Bugsy! Now… He chewed up my sofa, his recall was terrible so I was out for hours with him and every pair of socks I own have holes in, but I wouldn’t change for the world.
“Rescues are a tough work and require a lot of patience. In this year he’s come on leaps and bounds and all of them problems have gone away. He’s super confident now and as playful as ever.”
He added: “Shoutout to @thepackprojectuk who find homes for stray dogs and cats who are in need of a loving family! If you are thinking of rescuing just keep in mind they do come with problems, but they give you such a reward by the end of it.”
Jacob’s former Hollyoaks co-star Anna Passey was quick to respond, writing: “I love this so much.” Coronation Street star Anthony Crank also replied: “Bugsy is the bomb.”
His friends, fans and followers were also keen to respond to the sweet update. @johnny33m said: “Thank you, Jacob, for your good heart in rescuing Bugsy. These photos are pure love. Our world needs more kindness. Love you on Coronation Street.”
@leachjemma commented: “Awww I love this. Dogs are just the best.” @palmblue7 wrote: “Bless him, you are very lucky.” @clarewoolvine shared: “Thank you for going through a Rescue. Bugsy landed on his paws.” @wendy.bird3 posted: “Aww he’s so cute.” @justinecampbell767 added: “We’ve got rescue dogs too. Well done, Jacob.”
Jacob was first introduced Corrie viewers as dodgy cop Kit earlier this year after Bernie Winter went on a mission to find her long-lost son, Zodiac, who was later renamed Christopher when he was adopted.
He’s since made things difficult for Bernie, even attempting to turn children Paul and Gemma Winter against her. But it’s not just family matters that are making Corrie fans suspicious of Kit.
Desperate to further his career, Kit ha been seen planting evidence in the Lauren Bolton case, resulting in Nathan Curtis being put behind bars for grooming the teen after she returned to the street alive and he’s recently forced Beth Tinker off the street after she tried to play him at his own game.
