Kelvin Fletcher reminisces about Emmerdale in sweet and poignant tribute to ITV soap

Kelvin Fletcher gave a sweet nod to ITV’s Emmerdale during his BBC One show, Kelvin’s Big Farming Adventure.

The stars first season of the six-part reality show has come to an end and the farmer made sure to end on a high as he hosted a party.

Kelvin hosted almost 200 guests on his land to mark the end of their first summer in their new lifestyle.

The party gave Kelvin and his wife Liz the perfect opportunity to get to know some of the people in the village close-by.

While making final decorative touches to the field with Liz, Kelvin reminisced on his Emmerdale days and said: "This is looking like a proper little village get together.

"You know what it reminds me of, this place, now? Emmerdale.

"Because we used to film scenes like this, and I remember filming it and thinking, is this what people in the countryside do?

"Is that what their little events are like? And now I've turned into it."

However the day hit a few bumps as their water wasn’t running properly despite agreeing to provide running water on site for their hundreds of guests.

After Kelvin took a sip, he deemed it undrinkable and solemnly said: "Local farmer poisons community."

Instead, Liz was forced to search around for bottled water to try and find some before the imminent arrival of their guests.

Fortunately, Liz’s parents came to the rescue and managed to bring enough bottled water for everyone to enjoy a cup of tea or coffee.

What followed was a huge success, with Liz stating at the end that moving to their new farm was "the best decision they ever made."

Last night's episode was the final in the series, but many hope the Fletchers will be returning to our screen for a second series.
