The Strictly Come Dancing 2019 champ, 36, got emotional when he stepped foot in the ITV studios for the first time in years.

The actor first joined the hit ITV soap back in 1996 – and quickly captured the hearts of the nation at the tender age of six.

Kelvin found fame after starring as Andy Sugden for a whopping 20 years, and it seems as though he still can’t shake the feeling as he returned to the set for the first time in four years.

The actor recently took to Instagram to share a proud moment with his followers, as he showed off the British Soap Award he won aged 15.

Alongside the snap, he penned: “1999 British Soap Awards I was nominated and made the final 4 shortlist for Best Actor and walked away with Best Dramatic Performance.

“No child awards or categories back then, I was a 15 year old actor up against the adults and people I had long admired and inspired to follow.”
