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.
