Last week Kit found out that breast cancer runs in his family, following his great aunt Celeste Butterfield’s death<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In scenes to air on Monday (September 6) Kit will get his formal diagnosis of stage three breast cancer. <\/p>\n

Following the news, Kit goes to the Rovers and begins drinking where he runs into a concerned Todd. <\/p>\n

In a preview clip from Monday’s episode, Todd confronts Kit in the Rovers’ garden and asks him what’s going on. When Kit says he’s just had a few too many drinks, Todd tells him that he’s been where he is, pretending to be okay to avoid confronting his issues. <\/p>\n

As Todd continues to press Kit about what’s wrong, he brings up Sarah, wondering if she’s the reason he’s behaving like this. But when Todd won’t leave him alone, Kit blurts out that he has stage three breast cancer, leaving Todd stunned.<\/p>\n

Jacob Roberts, who plays Kit, recently talked about the important storyline<\/a>, which has seen the soap working with Macmillan Cancer Support<\/a> and Breast Cancer Now<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“I genuinely didn’t know that men could get breast cancer, so I felt \u2013 to make it authentic \u2013 that Kit shouldn’t know either,” Roberts explained.<\/p>\n

“Speaking to charities about this storyline has been really insightful, because a lot of men didn’t know they could get it. I wanted to explore Kit’s utter disbelief as he asks: ‘How have I got this?’<\/p>\n

“It was hard because a lot of the moments where Kit went for his initial check-ups took place off screen. I didn’t want to join the story where Kit already knew he had breast cancer, because I thought that’d take away the shock element of it.<\/p>\n

“I thought it would be a nice thing for Kit to say: ‘But how can blokes get breast cancer?’ I spoke to people in work and they’d say the same thing, so I wanted to keep that message.”<\/p>\n

Coronation Street airs on weeknights at 8.30pm on ITV1 and streams on ITVX<\/a>.<\/p>\n
