THE future of Kelvin Fletcher’s family TV show has been revealed amid axe fears.
Former Emmerdale star Kelvin and his wife Liz recently came under fire for the “ridiculous” prices they were charging for visitors to see Santa at their Christmas grotto on the farm.

It sparked fresh fear that the family could lose their show on ITV amid the backlash.
However, in news that will be a welcome relief to die hard fans of the family, Fletcher’s Family Farm will be back for a seasonal outing.
A one-off episode is scheduled to air on Christmas morning on ITV which will see how Kelvin, Liz and their children fare with the wintry conditions as well as follow the creation of the controversy-hit on-site grotto.
The confirmation of its broadcast comes days after fans were left raging over the family’s latest money-making side hustle.
According to their website, Kelvin and Liz will be charging between £18 and £54 per child and £12 to £28 per adult to visit their Santa’s Village throughout December.
As part of the price, children can make reindeer food to leave out on Christmas Eve as well as visit Santa’s Grotto and play in giant snow globes.
However, many fans slammed the prices as too much and insisted they would not be attending or bringing along their own children.
One said: “I love watching the family but it’s a bit too expensive for me. Good luck to you both.”
Another added: “I love the programme but must agree that three adults and two children was too expensive for us too. Such a shame. I do hope it’s a success though.”
Before a third said: “I love the family but the price for a family is £140.
“It’s a bit too expensive. But I still like to watch them on TV for their genuine down to earth farming.”
The 39-year-old actor lives on a 120-acre 18th-century farm in the Peak District with wife Liz Marsland and their children Marnie, six, Milo, four, and one-year-old twins Maximus and Mateusz.
The clan have documented their adventures on the programme which has included some heartstopping moments.
Earlier this year, the Emmerdale actor could be seen shaking during a life or death moment with a sheep.
