Emmerdale's Charles actor Kevin Mathurin’s life from surprise career to love life and family

Kevin Mathurin has quickly established himself as one of Emmerdale's most beloved figures. The actor joined the show as Vicar Charles Anderson on Christmas Day in 2020 when he stood in during the wedding between Chas Dingle and Paddy Kirk.

He has since been involved in some of the show's most dramatic storylines, including this week as viewers saw him uncover the real reason why Alex is dating his daughter Naomi.

Alex was using the relationship to get close to the family and steal drugs from Manpreet's GP surgery. Alex has since been put in hospital after he was hit by a car.

Naomi told the police about her dad's frosty relationship with Alex and Charles was arrested as police claimed he had a motive to commit the crime. Away from the screen, Kevin's life is fortunately less dramatic than his onscreen character.

Kelvins surprise career away from Emmerdale

Kelvin is not just a talented actor as he recently revealed on Lorraine that he initially enjoyed a successful career as a dancer. He said: "When I left college in 1991, my journey started more on the dance career, so I kept going down that route."

Lorraine Kelly gasped as Kevin revealed he performed on stage alongside music icon Diana Ross, at Madison Square Garden in New York, Liverpool Echo reports.

He said: "We had a moment where, she likes to swap the running order of the show, so we would come on thinking we were doing a dance routine, and one time she decided ‘Ok I got a friend here in the audience.'

"And this friend starts walking up on stage and it’s Luther Vandross. They sing a duet of endless love and I’m sitting there like, I can’t believe this is happening."

Superhero movie role

Kevin had a small role in DC film Justice League and its much-publicised follow up Zack Snyder’s Justice League - the two flicks were released in 2017 and 2021. In the movies, the Emmerdale star is seen as a sketch witness. The film follows iconic characters such as Batman and Wonder Woman with Kevin starring alongside Ben Affleck, Henry Cavill and Gal Gadot among others.

Is Kevin Married and does he have children?

Kevin is in a long term relationship with his partner and DJ Nikki Beatnik. The couple has been together for over nine years.

They were reintroduced to one another at a Christmas party by For Life actor, Nicholas Pinnock, and recognising one another, they hit it off and haven't looked back since.

Kevin and Nikki also share a six-year-old son named Hartley and two dogs named Gracey and Purdey.

Kevin recently opened up on his happy family life on Lorraine Kelly’s ITV show as he said: "She's very talented with her craft and she's gone to some amazing places. I'm proud of her and I love hearing her amazing sets."
