Liz Fletcher has been inundated with support after her daughter's incredible achievement at a dancing competition. The actor and voiceover artist who has appeared in a number of roles on both stage and screen, shared the special moment Marnie won a gold medal at a dance competition on social media.
The mum shares four children with former Emmerdale star Kelvin Fletcher. They have Marnie, Milo, and twins Mateusz and Maximus.

"Then came the wings… where the world is quiet but her heart is loud. Nerves danced in her tummy, but so did courage. And in that moment, she knew this is her time, her stage. And she stepped into the light, ready to shine."
The delighted mum, added "I couldn't be any prouder", a second video showed the moment Marnie realised she had won the gold. She took to the stage to receive her first place card to a huge applause from the audience and fellow dancers. Liz wrote: "The moment she realised she got the GOLD. My heart."
Emmerdale star Adam Thomas commented: "Wowowowowowowow" and former Coronation Street actress wrote "Amazing!! Well-done Marnie", with another Cobbles star, Brooke Vincent replying with red heart emojis.
One fan wrote: "Congratulations Marnie" and others said "Well done Marnie" and "She is an absolute star isn't she. Showbiz running in her veins. She will go far. Congrats Marnie."
It has been a busy couple of months for the family. Kelvin and Liz have just launched his own podcast dedicated to the world of soaps, and examining storylines from two he's been in himself, Coronation Street and Emmerdale.
He spent two decades on the latter soap, and while that lifestyle is part of his past, he now interviews the ITV show's current actors for Off Script, adding to the opportunities fans have to engage with him.
