Former Strictly Come Dancing winner Kelvin Fletcher is opening the doors to his life on the farm with a brand new ITV show.
The actor, best known for his 20-year stint player farmer Andy Sugden in Emmerdale, will share an intimate glimpse into his family life with wife Elizabeth Marsland and their four children – Marnie, six, Milo, four, and twin sons Maximus and Mateusz, two – in new series Fletcher’s Family Farm.
Kelvin and his wife set up their farm from scratch after purchasing a 120-acre plot of land in 2021. Situated in the picturesque village of Wincle, near Macclesfield in Cheshire, Kelvin’s new venture as a real-life farmer shares uncanny similarities to his former on-screen persona.

“This was the easiest room to do. We kept everything in the same place as the old kitchen so we didn’t have to rewire much and we knew the flow and positioning of everything already worked. Choosing the colours felt risky but I’m so glad we went for it,” said Liz.
