The Teacher's Kelvin Fletcher exposes where Channel 5 drama was really filmed

Kelvin Fletcher left This Morning hosts Alison Hammond and Rochelle Humes in shock when he revealed where The Teacher was filmed.

Kelvin is one of the stars of the new Channel 5 drama which sees Sheridan Smith lead the cast as Jenna Garvey, a high school teacher whose life is plunged into despair when she is accused of engaging in sexual activity with one of her pupils.

While being good at her job, Jenna also likes to party hard and, on the night she celebrates her promotion to Head of English, she bumps into one of her pupils, Kyle, in a local nightclub.

Unable to remember what happened, she finds herself being suspended from school and questioned by police and then, much to her horror, listens to a voicemail on her phone from Kyle, telling her how much he enjoyed having sex with her.

Former Emmerdale actor turned Strictly champion Kelvin plays Jenna's colleague Jack in The Teacher.

Just as some viewers raised concerns about how good a friend Jack actually is to Jenna, Kelvin appeared on This Morning.

And, it was then that he told Alison and Rochelle, that while The Teacher is set in Bradford, it was actually filmed in Budapest.

He told them: "It was a really great job and we filmed that in Budapest as well of all places."

Quick to react, Alison asked: "Yeah, why did they film it there?!" to which Kelvin replied: "I'm not too sure.

"I don't know if it was a budget thing or, I think visually it sells as Budapest, errr as Bradford.

"It was a great experience for us. Sadly there was a big lockdown when we was over there, so we couldn't the sights and sounds of Budapest."

*The Teacher continues on Channel 5 with its third episode on Wednesday at 9pm, before concluding on Thursday at the same time.
