Emmerdale's Kelvin Fletcher teases career announcement as fans rush to show support
Former Emmerdale actor Kelvin Fletcher has opted for a quieter life away from the spotlight, residing on his peaceful Cheshire farm close to the Peak District National Park since his stellar Strictly Come Dancing win in 2019. The 41-year-old, who played Andy Sugden, is embracing country living. His TV series, Fletcher's Family Farm, won over audiences with its its first two seasons, and hints of a third series have surfaced on social media. The show's fans had enthusiastically responded to earlier teases featuring Kelvin , his wife Liz, and their four children among the pastoral setting with farmyard animals. In February, when Liz announced, "It's a wrap," viewers were disheartened at the indication of the show's hiatus. However, as the lambing season commenced, the family ignited speculation about season three by posting footage of an ewe and her new-born lamb, captivating their followers. Kelvin excitedly shared an Instagram video showcasing the ewe with her lamb, with his family and the filming crew in the backdrop, building anticipation for the new series with a caption: "And you thought we were just showing you a new-born lamb! SERIES 3 is GOOOOOOOO! #fletchersfarm," as covered by the Express. Fans have been quick to express their delight in the comments section. One admirer wrote: "Just the loveliest programme, story, lifestyle... absolute joy/Hats off to you all for following your dreams-and having the courage and determination to do it." Another enthusiast shared their excitement: "Yes! I loved series 1 and 2. I heard series 3 wasn't happening, so this is great news. I love everything that you all do on the farm,". A third supporter praised the family's approach: "I love watching you, you should be so proud of yourselves, fabulous farmers and parents. "A joy to watch, some other celebrity parents should take a leaf out of your book, raising your children brilliantly x." Kelvin Fletcher and his wife Liz are the proud parents of four children - Marnie, Milo, and twins Maximus and Mateusz. The kids play an integral part in the family's TV series , which highlights their participation in countryside pursuits such as sheep herding and showcases their life in the country. In a recent promotional clip, Kelvin shared his passion for farming, saying: "I honestly believe it's my calling after three years". Liz, however, was quick to remind him that the work on the farm is "never-ending". The couple has also released a book titled 'Fletchers On The Farm: Mud, Mayhem and Madness'. Moreover, Kelvin has started a new podcast that delves into the world of soap operas, exploring storylines from two shows he has appeared in - Coronation Street and Emmerdale. After a twenty-year stint on Emmerdale, Kelvin has now taken up the role of host for 'Off Script', where he interviews current cast members of the ITV soap, providing fans with additional avenues to engage with him.

Louis Tomlinson and Sam Thompson have finally come face to face for the first time at Soccer Aid training on Thursday. The men are both on the same England team for Unicef - the same charity Sam completed a 260-mile five-day long marathon for on Friday. And while Sam has insisted there are 'no hard feelings', the encounter is bound to sting a little. Sam, 32, and former Love Islander Zara, 28, confirmed they had ended their relationship in January after more than five years together. Zara moved on pretty quickly with singer Louis, 33, with the smitten couple appearing inseparable since their romance was made public in March. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. It comes after Sam revealed he will be at Soccer Aid as he shared a new Instagram snap on Thursday after suffering a string of agonising injuries. The I'm A Celebrity winner posed for a mirror selfie at his home in Chelsea and revealed that he is heading to training ahead of the celebrity charity match on Sunday. Sam cut a cool figure in a black long sleeved top which he teamed with khaki cargos and white trainers. The Staying Relevant podcast star was all smiles as he snapped the selfie wearing a white rucksack and a pair of Dinelli sunglasses. He wrote: 'Off to Soccer Aid! What a 4 days its going to be!' As Sam made his way out of his home, he beamed for a snap with brother-in-law Ryan Libbey while carrying a large bottle of water to stay hydrated. Last week, Sam suffered a calf injury on the first day of his gruelling 260-mile Soccer Aid challenge for Unicef. Despite the TV personality fearing his legs will be the reason he won't be able to take part in the football game and insisting he is doing everything he can, it seems Sam might be able to play some of the game as he heads to training. Sam feared his legs will be the reason he won't be able to take part in the football game after his challenge last week - but it seems he is all ok to play as he arrived at training On Tuesday, Sam shared another update, he wrote: 'Trying to get those legs right for soccer aid!! I WILL play a part [laughing face emoji]' A source later told MailOnline: 'Sam's role is going to remain as a player at Soccer Aid as no official change has been made yet. He is continuing to go training and get further physio.' Sam is set for an awkward planned encounter with ex Zara McDermott 's new boyfriend Louis Tomlinson at Soccer Aid. The men will be on the same England team for Unicef - the same charity Sam completed a 260-mile five-day long marathon for on Friday. And while Sam has insisted there are 'no hard feelings', the encounter is bound to sting a little. It comes days after Sam gave a heartbreaking update on whether he will be able to play in Soccer Aid after suffering a string of agonising injuries during his charity challenge Sam and former Love Islander Zara, 28, confirmed they had ended their relationship in January after more than five years together. Zara moved on pretty quickly with singer Louis, 33, with the smitten couple appearing inseparable since their romance was made public in March. They have enjoyed a loved-up getaway to Costa Rica together after Louis flew his new flame out to the island first-class. Meanwhile I'm A Celeb winner Sam has moved on with Love Island beauty Samie Eilshi, 25. After their blossoming romance was confirmed when they shared a steamy kiss in Mayfair last month, speculation of a split grew after Samie was noticeably absent from Sam's highly-publicised challenge for Soccer Aid last week. Such rumours have since been squashed however, with their romance reportedly going from strength to strength as they 'love spending time together on their days off', a source close to the couple told MailOnline. During an episode of their podcast Staying Relevant's last month, Pete Wicks, 37, teased Sam about the prospect of the potentially awkward encounter between him and Louis. The TOWIE star asked his co-host: 'You're really going through it with the whole f****** body and dieting and training loads. Is that for Soccer Aid?' Sam laughed and assured he's 'loving it' but 'no, it's not' for the game, to which Pete continued: 'Are you sure it's not for Soccer Aid? How are you feeling? You're playing again. Must be really exciting.' He added: 'How do you feel about the line up? Do you think you've got a strong team?' Awkwardly laughing, Sam replied: 'Got a really strong team'. But, not dropping the subject, Pete then asked: 'Any kind of people in there who you're looking forward to playing with?' 'Loads,' Sam laughed: 'Tom Grennan. I'm really looking forward to playing alongside Wayne Rooney, Tyson Fury's the manager. I can't wait'. Pete joked: 'I mean that's gonna be f****** amazing. Make sure you get him on side though because you may need him in your corner in case you fall out with anyone. Not that you will but just in case there's any rivalries or anything. 'You know, you have to train together and it's a lot, you know when you're kind of in close quarters with someone like that. All sorts gets brought up. Anyway...' Sam and Louis will join the likes of Tyson Fury, Jill Scott, Grennan and Paddy McGuinness in the star-studded squad, while Wayne Rooney will step out of retirement as one of the managers. Sam may now have more time to pursue his romance with Samie, who recently opened up about their relationship for the first time. Sam first met Samie, who appeared on Love Island in 2023 and returned to the All Stars series this year, through his presenting role on Aftersun. Samie spoke about the blossoming relationship for the first time during an appearance on the Chloe Mediumship podcast. The show is hosted by a psychic medium and in the episode, the beauty revealed how she's previously had negative gut feelings in past relationships. She explained: 'I've had gut feelings with guys before. I've had a couple of relationships where I've known it was never it. Like this is gonna come to an end, I'll have something telling me every day it's coming to an end, this isn't for you. 'You put it to the back of your mind and then you start noticing the chaos increase. It's like the universe saying I'm gonna blow you both up if you just do not separate. Then I'm like if I only I listened all those months ago when I got that first message.' Then, host Chloe asked: 'Obviously, you don't have to talk about it too much but the guy you're currently speaking to, do you have that gut feeling? Like do you think it's gonna be really good?' Keeping her cards close to her chest, the former Love Islander replied: 'There's been no bad stuff at the minute so yeah I suppose it is all positive right now. It's early days.' Zara and Louis sparked relationship speculation at the start of this year before going public in March, three months after MailOnline revealed Zara and ex-boyfriend Sam had parted ways. Despite his heartache over Zara moving on so quickly, sources close to Sam exclusively told MailOnline at the time he holds no grudges against Louis over the new romance. A source close to the star said: 'Sam has no hard feelings towards Louis, that's for sure. 'As far as he's concerned, Louis is Zara's new man and he's just got to accept it. 'He's a positive guy and will just move on from this, throwing himself into work and getting stuck into the exciting projects he's got coming up. 'Obviously he was sad when their relationship broke up and, like anyone, when your ex moves so quickly it's tough. And if he was both angry and devastated, that would be understandable. 'But he's not sitting around wallowing in self pity, far from it.' Zara and Sam were together for five years before they split at the end of 2024 shortly after the Made In Chelsea favourite worked in Australia for I'm A Celeb spinoff show Unpacked. This year's Soccer Aid for Unicef match airs on the evening of Sunday 15 June on ITV1 and ITVX from Old Trafford, Manchester.

JOJO Siwa has clapped back at pop icon Miley Cyrus after the chart star mocked her new relationship with Chris Hughes. The actress and singer - who formed a blossoming connection with ITV Racing pundit Chris, 32, when they appeared in Celebrity Big Brother this year - recently confirmed their romance. 5 JoJo Siwa has clapped back at Miley Cyrus after she thew shade at her relationships with Chris Hughes Credit: Shutterstock Editorial 5 Miley, 32, made her cutting comment at World Pride event Credit: Splash 5 JoJo called out Miley's 'bad joke' about coming 'out of the closet' Credit: Instagram / itsjojosiwa The Dance Moms alum, 22, then hammered home the serious nature of their relationship as she insisted she'll "never break up" with the Love Island star. Yet JoJo, who revealing she was no longer a lesbian in the CBB compound during the show's live stream, has now come under fire from the Wrecking Ball hitmaker. Boomerang songstress JoJo said she now wants to identify as queer, yet Hannah Montana star Miley, 33, appeared to throw shade on her at a recent World Pride event. She said, in a piece to camera from inside a closet: "'Oh, my God, I haven't been in here since sixth grade!' "Enjoy coming out of the closet if this Pride is the time for you. "It shouldn't be a month - it should be a year; it should be infinite." The Party In The USA songstress then dealt her jibe and added: "I'm going back inside to get more pretzels and find JoJo Siwa and bring her back out." Yet now she has called out the "bad joke" by her pop idol as she shared images of her Miley Cyrus-themed fifth birthday party to her Instagram page. In her caption, she wrote: "I was happy at my 5th birthday having a Miley themed party, and I'm still happy now at 22… If you know me, you know that Miley is my day 1, grew up beyond inspired by her from 2 years old on…" Chris Hughes breaks silence on JoJo Siwa relationship and he's quizzed by Ben Shepherd on This Morning "I wasn't sure how I felt about things for a couple of days… but I've started to come to some thoughts…. I don't believe what Miley said at world pride was ill intended, honestly I think it was meant to be a joke, but just not very good one haha. "Not what the world, or myself needs to hear anyday of the week." She then told how she had tackled the issue head-on and added: "I messaged Miley light heartedly about it and she replied and said 'All love. Always.' "Honestly the most beautiful thing I've learned in the last five years is that love is a gorgeous rainbow. Don't question yourself, don't second guess yourself, just love. Love love love love love. JoJo Siwa and Kath Ebbs' relationship We look back at JoJo Siwa's romance with Kath Ebbs: JoJo Siwa went public with hers and Kath Ebbs' relationship in January 2025. The Dance Moms star had been introduced to 27-year-old Australian content creator Kath by a mutual friend called G-Flip six months earlier. JoJo had split with her girlfriend Dakayla Wilson in November 2024 and it is believed she hooked up romantically with Kath soon after. Speaking in March at the 36th Annual GLAAD Media Awards, JoJo said of her relationship: 'I am so happy. I am in a very mature relationship, and it's beautiful. It's taught me so much about life. 'It's taught me so much about love and respect, and it's a beautiful thing. 'It's different in more ways than I can count. I wouldn't even know what to say the biggest is 'cause just everything is so different and special.' Kath even claimed they had talked about marriage together. However, JoJo's romance with Kath abruptly hit the skids on April 25, 2025, at the Celebrity Big Brother wrap party. JoJo dumped Kath at the bash after spending 19 days in the CBB house - where she had grown close to Love Island star Chris Hughes. "People judge no matter what, and it can be very hard, especially when it comes from someone you love, and look up to… but if you feel happy and content with yourself, that's most important. "You get one life… hold onto it, make it yours, find your happy, and love." OPENING UP JoJo's sexuality confession came to light in the CBB house earlier this year, where she said she realised she was no longer a lesbian. During a private chat in the bedroom, she confessed: "I feel so queer," as co-star Danny Beard then responded: "I'm queer!" In a new interview following her reality TV stint, she told how the phrase queer "encompasses how I am, and who I am". She added: "I do live this very, very big public life that has so many eyeballs on it, and it can get really hard to navigate. "But I'm also living a human life. You can't help who you love." The term queer is defined by LGBTQ charity Stonewall as "a term used by those wanting to reject specific labels of sexual orientation and/or gender identity". JoJo's sexuality was already a subject of conversation on CBB when American actor Mickey Rourke made a homophobic slur when talking to her earlier on in the series. REAL DEAL Meanwhile, amid the background noise, JoJo and Chris' partnership is going from strength to strength. The Bulletproof singer recently opened up on the "genuine" nature of their bond. She said: "People can see our chemistry, and they got to see it develop. "I think everyone's just curious, and I can't blame them." Clarifying the pair's exact relationship status she told The Guardian: "It's not platonic any more, and it's been a beautiful development, a beautiful connection, and I'm absolutely head over heels for him and he's the same way." She added: "I won't ever speak for him, but for me personally, the happiness in my life just radiates off of me right now. "Literally yesterday, I was massaging my cheeks; I've never been in pain from smiling so much." 5 JoJo said she tackled the issue head on and messaged Miley direct Credit: Getty

EXCLUSIVE Made In Chelsea's Reza Amiri SPLITS from girlfriend Ruby Adler over claims she cheated on him with luxury real estate agent Gavin Rubinstein
Made In Chelsea star Reza Amiri has split from girlfriend Ruby Adler over claims she cheated, MailOnline can reveal. The couple, who have been in an on/off relationship for ten years, had committed to each other for the long term during the latest series of the E4 show, which aired last month. But just days after the season wrapped in April, Ruby flew to Los Angeles where she spent time with multimillionaire luxury real estate agent Gavin Rubinstein, whom she was pictured with in the front row at an LA Lakers game. To her boyfriend Reza's shock, Ruby had struck up a close friendship with Gavin, famed for his appearances on Australian reality show Luxe Listings Sydney, despite the couple still being in a relationship and planning for their future. Ruby, 30, and Gavin, 34, were also spotted looking close at the Beverly Hills Hotel during the reality star's trip to Los Angeles, sparking speculation they were dating. Reza, 38, only discovered the betrayal weeks after Gavin posted an image of him with Ruby on his Instagram profile, which showed them at the LA Lakers game, sat next to A-list actor Jason Segel. A source told MailOnline: 'Rez was completely devastated. Obviously, there's the embarrassment of something like this happening behind your back, but he also saw a future with Ruby, all he wanted was for them to settle down together. 'They have had a long and complicated relationship, but the hope was that they could put the past behind them and commit for the long term. 'Ruby's actions in Los Angeles went against everything they had discussed as a couple and Rez has been humiliated. 'Even after Ruby's trip to LA with Gavin in April, Reza believed everything was fine between them as they celebrated their May birthdays together alongside their respective families. 'The worst part is the likelihood the whole sequence of events will become a storyline on Made In Chelsea and he'll have to relive the trauma again.' Posting on Instagram in April, Ruby shared a series of pictures from her LA trip, posing on Rodeo Drive having purchased a new handbag. She captioned the upload: 'Life is good.' The highs and lows of Reza and Ruby's relationship has played out on Made In Chelsea over the years, with the couple struggling to cut ties whenever they separated. They have both dated their fellow Made In Chelsea co-stars, with Reza romancing Love Island's Tina Stinnes and Ruby had a brief fling with Miles Nazaire. MailOnline has contacted Reza and Ruby's representatives for comment. But during the latest series, which took place in the Maldives, Sam Prince said, 'It's official, Ruby and Rez are officially back' and Ruby replied: 'We are very happy.' The couple spent quality time together on holiday in Dubai last November, where they were pictured hugging on Reza's Instagram story. Gavin, the star of Prime Video's Luxe Listings Sydney, has been single since April following his split from model girlfriend Holly Young. He is the founder of The Rubinstein Group, a successful property company which has seen the celebrity estate agent be awarded with salesperson of the year in Australia's New South Wales from 2013 to 2019. Reza and Ruby met back in 2014 through mutual friends as they enjoyed the nightlife in London's West End. They joined Made In Chelsea together in 2019, starring alongside close friends Sam Thompson, Sophie Habboo and Melissa Tattam.
