Emmerdale and Strictly star Kelvin Fletcher expecting twins
"We don't really do things by halves."

Emmerdale star and Strictly Come Dancing winner Kelvin Fletcher has shared the exciting news that he and his wife Liz are expecting twins.

The couple confirmed in December that Liz was pregnant with their third child and they have now revealed that their fourth baby is also on the way.

Kelvin, who lifted the Strictly glitterball trophy in 2019 with dance partner Oti Mabuse, and Liz shared their news while appearing on BBC Breakfast together today (January 17) to discuss their new farming show, Kelvin's Big Farming Adventure.

"We're having another two more children!" Liz announced, before Kelvin added: "We kind of recently found out that – to add another curveball if you like – we don't really do things by halves. We found out we're having not just one baby but two, so we're having twins!"

The couple have already received congratulations from fellow Emmerdale new parent Amy Walsh, who commented on an Instagram snap of the pair by OK! Magazine with "Twins?!!!! No way?!!!! Omg congratulations".

Kelvin and Liz already share five-year-old daughter Marnie and three-year-old son Milo and last year moved their family onto a farm in the Peak District, so they will certainly have their hands full with their growing family.

While Kelvin's Emmerdale character Andy Sugden may have been accustomed to life on a farm, it's been more of a learning curve for Kelvin himself, who admitted that adjusting to his new lifestyle has been "an absolute eye-opener".

"Come May we'll be delivering lambs for the first time," he said. "I'm not going to be delivering babies but it is going to be a really busy time. So, yeah, we'll have four children!"

Kelvin may be busy with his family and farm but he is still in the acting game, and last year he shared his frustrations over how difficult it can be to secure new roles.

"I know how frustrating those little selfies are, because I've been that person thinking, 'Even they are working now.' Let me tell you, I've had about 10 nos in these last few months," he said before adding: "Keep the faith. Patience is key, as I always say. It's only a little gig, so don't be getting too bothered."

Emmerdale airs on weeknights at 7pm on ITV, with an extra episode at 8pm on Thursdays.
