Emmerdale star Kelvin Fletcher has told soap bosses he is "coming back" in a post on Instagram.
The Andy Sugden actor starred in the long-running ITV soap from 1996 to 2016. His character was at the centre of a number of dramatic storylines, including setting fire to the barn, therefore killing his adoptive mum, Sarah.
Other explosive scenes saw Andy accidentally shoot his brother Robert, after finding out he had had an affair with his partner, Katie Addyman.
