Kelvin appeared on Lorraine earlier today
Appearing on Lorraine earlier today, Kelvin confirmed that he has no plans to reprise his role any time soon – and has instead set his sights on TV dramas and films.
He told the host: “Emmerdale was 25 years of my life, it was a huge part of my professional life, and my personal life.
“I’ve grown up on the show, I went through my adolescence on the show in front of viewers and the nation, if you like.
“So it’s still got a very warm place in my heart, but for me as an actor, I still consider myself a young actor.

“I’ve got huge ambitions and dreams and I want to try and chase those.
“TV dramas and film is where I want to be but who knows? I take each month, each year as it comes and just enjoy the ride.
“Whatever I do, I give it all my all and see what happens.”
The hunk also ruled out a stint in musical theatre – despite his new-found love for dancing and performing.
