Kelvin moved to the peaks with his family to live on a farm
Despite pretend lambing and mucking out for more than 20 years Emmerdale farmer Andy Sugden, Kelvin Fletcher, has now become a farmer for real.
“People make an obvious connection to Emmerdale,” he says. “So you play a farmer all those years, then you become one. Life imitating art. But I was an actor. I had zero farming knowledge. There might be a scene where I was next to a sheep, but that was it. The storylines were deaths, affairs, storms.
With no farming experience and a young family to raise, Kelvin, 39, says the lifestyle change has certainly been a culture shock. He and his childhood sweetheart Liz, 38 – best known for her role in 2016 BBC drama In The Club – have been up since the cock crowed with 16-month-old twins Mateusz and Maximus, along with Marnie, six, and four-year-old Milo. Forming a morning “tag team”, one feeds the twins while the other gets the older kids ready for school.
“Kelvin saw this farm on Rightmove and said, ‘Liz, what about buying this?’” Kelvin, who expertly navigates the country roads while tucking in to a bacon sarnie, adds: “We didn’t do it because we wanted to be farmers. We wanted something different. It’s all a far cry from stylish Liz’s old life in Manchester, where she loved dressing up. Nowadays she’s more likely to be found wearing leggings and wellies. She says: “When I first arrived here, my only wellies were ones I’d bought for £3 from Asda for a festival.
