Kelvin Fletcher shares ‘sad’ announcement on ITV’s Lorraine after ‘tragic’ loss

Former Emmerdale star Kelvin Fletcher shared some heartbreaking news with ITV viewers during his appearance on Lorraine, alongside his wife Liz Marsland.

The 41-year-old former soap actor who played Andy Sugden in the show, spoke about the latest developments on his farm.

While sharing the joys of lambing season, Kelvin revealed that one of his sheep, who was expecting triplets, tragically lost one of its lambs shortly after giving birth.

Displaying his adorable new additions on the show, Kelvin explained: “These are the twins, we’ve actually named both of these.”

He went on to share the sad story: “Now, sadly, the mum there did have a prolapse, and she was actually in lamb with triplets, and we sadly lost the first one.

“But we managed to obviously save these two and they were looking very very small when they were first born.

They’re probably about four or five days old,” Kelvin said while holding up one of the lambs for viewers at home to see.

In a previous episode, Lorraine Kelly reminisced about Kelvin’s past ambitions to leave the UK for Hollywood, saying: “It’s amazing how life turns out, there you are.

All those years on Emmerdale and you were so brilliant on Strictly but you were going to go to Hollywood.”, reports Cheshire Live.

Kelvin’s career path took an unexpected turn, as the host pointed out: “You were going to go to Los Angeles, there were a lot of doors opening there, lots of auditions lined up and then of course, COVID hit.”
