Emmerdale‘s Kelvin Fletcher has broken his silence on the rumours he’s leaving the soap – although we’re just as confused as we were before.

It was reported on Monday (August 1) that the Andy Sugden actor has already filmed his final scenes and will depart on screen in the coming weeks.

ITV still hasn’t confirmed Fletcher’s possible exit, but it does follow months and months of speculation that a big-name departure was coming.

Fletcher, who’s starred on Emmerdale for 20 years, finally tweeted on Tuesday night: “Leaving Emmerdale to become a rally driver? First I’ve heard! Although I do know one thing; there’s some BIG surprises coming #Emmerdale”

So, we know for sure he’s unlikely to go into motorsports. But he also didn’t say if he was leaving Emmerdale for anything else…

Not to mention, just what could these “BIG surprises” involve? Now we have even more questions than answers.
