Kelvin Fletcher Reveals Emmerdale Return Emotions Before New TV Series Debut
Kelvin Fletcher, the former star of Emmerdale, has opened up about his life after leaving the ITV soap. He portrayed the character Andy Sugden for two decades, departing the show in 2016.
Post-Emmerdale Life
After his exit, Fletcher has embraced life on a farm with his wife, Liz, and their four children. Their experiences on the farm are showcased in the ITV reality series, Fletchers’ Family Farm, which is set to return for a fourth season.
Return to Television
On January 17, 2026, Kelvin and Liz made an appearance on James Martin’s Saturday Morning. They discussed their new series and the challenges of managing a farm, with Liz highlighting their decision to reintroduce pigs this season.
- Fletchers’ Family Farm returns on Monday, January 19, at 7:30 PM.
- The series will feature shorter reruns of the previous three seasons in the time slot vacated by Emmerdale.
Thoughts on Emmerdale
During the interview, James Martin inquired about Fletcher’s feelings regarding his time at Emmerdale, where he starred in over 2,000 episodes. Kelvin reflected, “Emmerdale was 20 happy years, but there’s not a day that goes by when I think about it. I’ve moved on.”
When asked if he could return to the soap, Fletcher humorously remarked about being “on the run” in Spain, joking that he could make a comeback with a tan after training as a chef.
Looking Ahead
While Kelvin has left his soap opera days behind, he remains deeply engaged with his current project. Fletchers’ Family Farm promises to deliver more “farm chaos,” as confirmed by Liz, as they continue to share their family life with viewers.
For fans of both Emmerdale and reality TV, this new season is set to deliver engaging content, allowing viewers to catch up on what they might have missed.
