Former Emmerdale star Kelvin Fletcher returns to ITV as he announces a brand new docu-series, 'Fletcher's Family Farm', which will air later this year.
The former soap star, best known for his role as Andy Sugden on the Yorkshire-based soap, is now a real-life farmer as he lives on his farm with wife Liz Marsland and their four children.
The couple relocated to the Peak District, where they purchased a 120-acre farm on the edge of the Peak District National Park.
Last year their own BBC One documentary series Kelvin's Big Farming Adventure followed their journey to restoring the farmland back to its former glory and running it themselves.
And now, the actor, who won Strictly Come Dancing with Oti Mabuse in 2019, has shared an exciting announcement with fans as he returns to our screens, and this time he's back on ITV!
Kelvin announced the exciting news on Instagram on Friday, June, 2 with an adorable snap of the full family, including one the resident lambs!
The actor-turned-farmer penned: "WE ARE BACK !!! A brand new ITV1 series this Autumn bringing you inside our lives as we celebrate and explore this wonderful farming life!
"With more animals, more laughs, more mistakes and even more children! This adventure really has only just begun. We can’t wait to share it with you! Let the fun begin!
"Daisybeck lands brand new series seeing Kelvin Fletcher returning to ITV, Kelvin Fletcher is to return to ITV with the commission of brand-new series Fletcher’s Family Farm.

"The 8 x 60 series has been commissioned by Leanne Clarke (Commissioner, Entertainment) for Weekend Daytime for ITV and Paul Mortimer (ITV Director of Reality and Acquisitions) for primetime for ITV Be – the first co-commission between the two channels."
