The Teacher fans are convinced that things aren’t as they seem with staff member Jack.
As episode three of the Channel 5 four-part drama played out on Wednesday night, viewers became more convinced that there was more to the storyline as it became obvious Jenna Garvey (Sheridan Smith) had in fact been set up.
Jenna was seen discovering that she had mistakenly pleaded guilty to sleeping with her 15-year-old pupil Kyle when she couldn’t remember what had actually happened between them.
However, a chance encounter with Kyle led to the realisation that she had been set up and as Jenna watched CCTV from Lazarus nightclub on the night she was accused of having a sexual encounter with the teen it became obvious that her colleague and married love interest Jack wasn’t being entirely honest with her either.

The character – played by Emmerdale actor Kelvin Fletcher – was seen picking her up from the nightclub and leaving with her in his car – something else Jenna had no recollection of.
When she went to his house to confront him Jack told Jenna he hadn’t mentioned anything because she had been calling him to pick her up and when he did they did “everything but sex.”
As Jenna began receiving anonymous packages containing malicious items – including a used condom – viewers became more and more convinced that Jack must be behind the plot to set her up.
And she discovered former colleague Nina had been behind fake email and social media accounts set up to target her and headed to the pub to confront her.
Kyle was then seen receiving text messages on a burner phone he had hidden under his bed from someone named simply ‘T’ fans of the show couldn’t hold back as they took to Twitter convinced the ‘T’ stood for teacher and that Jack was behind it all.
One wrote: “Something not sitting right with Jack. I bet he’s the one been at it with the kid #TheTeacher.”
Another added: “Jack is 100% dodgy! He’s probably grooming Kyle #TheTeacher.”
A third chipped in: “Calling it now Jack is in on it with Kyle and set Jenna up.”

A fourth posted: “Jack is grooming Kyle… ‘T’ on the burner phone stands for teacher. They’ve set Jenna up. That’s my theory #theteacher.”
Another social media user argued: “Is “J” on the text message, “Jack”? I’ve got a feeling that it’s Kyle and Jack who have been having a secret sexual relationship. Jack sets Kyle up so that he can get Jenna out of the school, meaning he gets her Head of English job. “
Meanwhile, Kyle went to meet with a mysterious figure after the phone was confiscated in class by Jenna’s nemesis Nina.

She handed it over to Kyle’s mum telling her to destroy the evidence on it that would help vindicate Jenna, who made her son promise never to speak to or see “him” again.
He then went to meet the character down a dark alleyway, with Jenna chancing upon the meeting and witnessing the pair hugging emotionally.
As she tried to follow the faceless man through dark subways and streets she eventually lost him before seeing his true identity.
The final episode of The Teacher airs on Thursday, February 3 at 9pm
