Wednesday\u2019s episode<\/a> (November 12) revealed what really happened during Robert\u2019s six years inside. He confessed he\u2019d been transferred back to Hotten in 2020 and put in a cell with Kev.<\/p>\n

Robert recounted the horror of being attacked by Jez and how Kev had saved him. As the months wore on, Rob and Kev grew closer and started a relationship.<\/p>\n

Robert then found out new evidence \u2013 that Lee\u2019s brother Luke had also hit him over the head \u2013 meant he could appeal his sentence. Kev was unhappy at the thought of losing him so he stabbed himself. However he told Robert Jez had done it as revenge over Robert.
