Kelvin Fletcher and his wife Liz Marsland have been married
for 14 years and have four children together – but their
relationship has been far from plain sailing.
Kelvin Fletcher, famed for his role as Andy Sugden in ITV’s Emmerdale, bid farewell to the Dales two years ago and has since embraced a new life as a sheep farmer on a 120-acre plot on the fringes of the Peak District.
The 39 year old actor now leads a drastically different lifestyle with his wife Liz Marsland, as fans are set to gain an intimate glimpse into their lives with their 100 sheep, 30 pigs, 10 horses, six chickens, a cat and Ginger the dog – not to mention their four children who are all under seven.
Their rural adventure will be chronicled in their upcoming series, Fletcher’s Family Farm. The couple described the dramatic shift in their surroundings as a ‘rollercoaster ride’, according to the Mirror.
“Navigating farming life with four small kids is certainly a challenge but one full of laughter and unforgettable memories,” Kelvin and his actress wife Liz announced when their new show was first revealed in August this year.
Kelvin first encountered his wife Liz, 40, when they were merely eight years old, but they officially became a couple later in life after reuniting in 2009. They subsequently tied the knot six years later in a grand ceremony at London’s One Mayfair, reports the Daily Record.
