ABSOLUTELY SH0CKING – Emmerdale star Kelvin Fletcher Officially Announces screen RETURN that sends fans into frenzy!

Fans of the hit series ‘Fletchers’ Family Farm’ will be thrilled to learn that the lovable former ITV Emmerdale actor Kelvin Fletcher and his family are once again filming, now for the third series. The latest achievement for the farming family was caught on camera as they returned to the Royal Cheshire Show with their baby bull Ray on Tuesday.

Kelvin’s success at the prominent agricultural event continued after winning notable prizes last year; he and his son Milo claimed the native and junior champion awards with their cattle. This year, the former ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ champ triumphed again with the young bull Ray, just 11 months old.

There was some initial concern on the day when they had to ensure Ray was fit to participate following the journey from their Peak District farm, reports the Manchester Evening News. Kelvin opened up: “This was his first time showing, he’s only a bull calf and he lives with only five other cows so to come here today with so many cows, well it’s been a bit overwhelming – for both of us actually!”.

He added, despite the heat: “It was very warm, so we had him checked out, but he was all clear and won best in class.” Ray’s debut award meant a busy afternoon for Kelvin who later showcased his Lincoln Red rare breed bull, yet he was equally eager to take in the Royal Cheshire Show’s atmosphere alongside his brood.

Kelvin expressed his enthusiasm for the day’s activities, commenting, “This is a great event, there’s something for everyone and we’re enjoying it all as a family today. It’s nice to have an award and then hopefully I’ll have an ice cream later with the kids.”

At the agricultural show, Kelvin’s pride was evident as his family, including wife Liz and their children Marnie, Milo, Mateusz and Maximus, supported him while he participated in livestock events with his bovine companion Ray.

The occasion, captured on camera, provided some light-hearted entertainment when Kelvin, having secured a rosette, amusingly struggled to coax Ray, who was more interested in grazing, out of the ring. Liz quickly joined in to assist her husband.

In discussing the success of his ITV series, which chronicles his life after his tenure as Andy Sugden in ‘Emmerdale’ and his transition into farming, Kelvin’s face lit up: “The show has been really well received. I don’t know what it is, but I think the audience is learning with us.”

With filming currently underway, Kelvin confirmed viewers can expect the next instalment to hit screens by October, with another Fletchers’ Family Farm Christmas special slated for December.

Although the decision is still up in the air about hosting Christmas festivities at their Wincle farm, Kelvin’s approach is to take it one step at a time: “We need to get through summer first and then think about the winter.”
