KELVIN FLETCHER has swapped Emmerdale farm for his very own farming adventure, along with his family.
The new documentary series will see the Strictly star Kelvin Fletcher live out his farmyard dream in the Peak District alongside his wife and children.
How many children does Kelvin Fletcher have?
Kelvin and his wife Liz, a fellow actor, have two children together, Marnie aged five and three year old Milo.
Marnie was born in August 2016 and was followed by Milo in December 2018.
But, the couple are also expecting two more on the way.
On BBC Breakfast on January 17, 2022, the couple revealed that they are expecting twins after first announcing their pregnancy the year before.
In an interview with Hello! in 2020, Kelvin and Liz spoke about educating their daughter Marnie through homeschooling.
Kelvin said: “I’ve always had respect for teachers, but even more so now.
“Liz is a better teacher than I am. She is more structured and gets better results.”
In response Liz joked that this was correct, saying that Kelvin doesn’t teach and “before you know it, they’re in fancy dress or playing outside”.
Who is his wife Liz Fletcher?
Having had their first kiss as children, KElvin and Liz have known each other since they were just eight years old, but didn’t officially get together until two years after Liz finished university.
On November 28, 2015, the couple got married in a secret ceremony following a romantic beach proposal in Wales.
In 2020, following his Strictly Come Dancing partnership with Oti Mabuse, it was revealed they had actually split up 10 years ago due to sources saying Liz was jealous of other women.
They later got back together.
Liz is a fashion buyer and actor, as well as a voiceover artist, and has a Soundcloud account where she posts musical theatre song covers.
Her most notable role as an actor was in the 2016 BBC drama In The Club.
When did Kelvin Fletcher buy a farm?
It is not known specifically when the farm was bought but referencing his 2019 Strictly Come Dancing win in an interview with Radio Times, Kelvin implied it was in 2021.
He said: “If you’d told me the night I lifted that glitterball that 18 months later I’d happily be shovelling pig poo, I would have struggled to believe you”.
The actor, who is famously known for his 20-year stint as Andy Sugden on ITV’s Emmerdale, purchased a 120-acre 18th Century farm in the Peak District, with a cottage, outbuildings, 20 sheep, three pigs and three alpacas.
You can watch the first episode of Kelvin’s Big Farming Adventure on BBC One on 17 January at 8:30pm, or you can catch up on iPlayer.
