Kelvin Fletcher Reveals Unsettling Update on Emmerdale’s Andy Sugden
Kelvin Fletcher, the former star of Emmerdale, recently shared an update about his iconic character, Andy Sugden. He played Andy on the ITV soap from 1996 to 2016. Despite the show’s nostalgic pull, Fletcher stated that he has no desire to return to his old role.
Kelvin Fletcher’s New Path
Since leaving Emmerdale, Fletcher has embarked on a new journey as a farmer. This lifestyle is documented in his ITV series, Fletchers’ Family Farm. During a recent appearance on James Martin’s Saturday Morning, he expressed his contentment with this new chapter.
Fletcher clearly articulated his sentiments about Emmerdale. He remarked, “No, I don’t miss it. Emmerdale was 20 happy years, but I’ve moved on.” His commitment to farming has redirected his focus away from acting.
Humorous Reflections on Andy Sugden
While discussing his character’s exit from the show, Fletcher humorously noted that Andy ran away to Spain. He joked that if he were to return, Andy could show up with a tan or perhaps even retrain as a chef, given his current involvement in a cooking show.
