Fans will be able to enjoy some festive fun with Kelvin and his family

Former Emmerdale fave Kelvin Fletcher has given fans an exciting career update.

As Emmerdale fans will fondly remember, Kelvin, 40, played Andy Sugden in the ITV soap between 1996 and 2016. After leaving Emmerdale, Kelvin wowed in Strictly Come Dancing.

In more recent years, he’s also enjoyed life on his farm with his young family. Reality TV show Fletchers’ Family Farm has proved to be a hit with audiences.

This festive season, ITV will air a Christmas special with Kelvin and his family. A spokesperson said: “Kelvin, (his wife) Liz and the family are back for a seasonal special where they venture to Finland and visit another family farm thriving in the harsh conditions of the Arctic Circle.

“It’s not all work, though, as the Fletchers dive into the magic of a Nordic winter by enjoying traditional activities and meeting the animals that flourish in this frosty wilderness to make their Finnish adventure – one the family will never forget.”

We’ll bring you more on the special when we have further details.
