Former Emmerdale star Kelvin Fletcher shares 'exclusive announcement' on ITV's Lorraine about farm
by Joshua Hartley, Jessica Sansome · Derbyshire LiveFormer Emmerdale star Kelvin Fletcher and his wife Liz have delighted fans with an 'exclusive announcement' during a live segment from their farm on morning television. Even though the couple has their own show, they are gearing up to give Lorraine's cameras an intimate glimpse into their bustling farm life.
Chatting live on Lorraine Kelly's show after the school run on Thursday morning (January 16), Kelvin shared: "I didn't feel like I was living the dream this morning, when no one would do what they were told, that's the children, not the animals, the animals are normally the best behaved really."
Lorraine remarked: "It's amazing how life turns out, there you are, all those years on Emmerdale and you were so brilliant on Strictly but you were going to go to Hollywood. You were going to go to Los Angeles, there were a lot of doors opening there, lots of auditions lined up and then of course, COVID hit. So you've gone from Hollywood to being a farmer, you couldn't make it up could you?". Kelvin, who played Andy Sugden in Emmerdale for many years, responded: "Hollywood to Cheshire, I didn't quite plan for that, it's funny how things turn out and with our family now, it's a life that we never envisaged but it's a life we can't imagine not being like that."
Lorraine expressed her excitement saying: "And you've got a bit of an announcement for us which we are all very excited about..." Liz then disclosed on air: "Over the next few weeks and months we're going to be sharing with you and the viewers a bit of an exclusive insight into our life on the farm. It's going to be an exciting few months with you guys."
Reflecting on having their children grow up on the family farm, Liz commented: "The kids are all at different ages so Marnie and Milo are definitely a help, the twins are an absolute liability," reports the Manchester Evening News.
Kelvin, commenting on the positive aspects, added: "I think the best thing about having the kids for me is their understanding of the responsibility you have with a farm and the privilege it is. Understanding where our food comes from the hard work, the ups and downs."
