Emmerdale’s Kelvin Fletcher Vows To Return To Soap Opera As Andy Sugden

Kelvin Fletcher has been engaged to the ITV1 soap opera Emmerdale as Andy Sugden, delighting fans.

The 39-year-old actor posted a message below a social media post shared by the soap opera’s official account.

The Instagram post shared some sneak peeks of what’s to come and one photo showed Will Taylor (Dean Andrews) getting aggressive with Sam Dingle (James Hooton) outside the Woolpack.

Normality: Kelvin recently insisted that he doesn’t lead a showbiz lifestyle, stating, “Every top I own has a sick baby on the shoulder.”

Kelvin posted a comment insisting that he would return to Emmerdale if Will doesn’t change his ways.

He wrote: “If he touches Sam like that again, I’ll be back to sort it out.”

Fans were quick to pick up on the message, writing: ‘I wish you would mate. He needs you back as Andy in Emmerdale, to shake things up a bit! Come on, writers, you know!

‘Well, how we’d love to see you return to the Dales.’

‘Ooo yeah Andy’s coming back.’

Not happy; Emmerdale shared a photo of Will Taylor (Dean Andrews) getting aggressive with Sam Dingle (James Hooton) outside the Woolpack and Kelvin threatened to enter.

He wrote: “If he touches Sam like that again, I’ll be back to fix it” and all the fans went crazy.

‘Yeah, we need some Sugdens.’

‘You should go back Kelvin, the town is not the same without you.’

‘Is that a hint that you’re coming back? First Bernice mentions the other night about where she had you in the living room and now this one wonders! I hope so .’

Kelvin left Emmerdale in 2016 after playing Andy for 20 years to become a rally driver. The father of four is now a farmer.

He has grown in front of the nation after being cast as Andy, the troubled foster kid, in 1996.

Concerned: Andy has been with the show for 20 years until he quit in 2016: a young Andy set a barn on fire in an insurance scam to save Emmerdale Farm from financial ruin, unaware his adoptive mother Sarah was inside, who was later murdered

Petrolhead: Kelvin spends much of his time driving rally cars

The young man was taken in by Jack (Clive Hornby) and Sarah Sugden (Alyson Spiro) and soon settled into village life.

One of his first big storylines was setting a barn on fire in an insurance scam to save Emmerdale Farm from financial ruin, unaware that his adoptive mother Sarah was inside, who subsequently died in the fire.

Andy married Katie as a teenager, but their marriage failed after she had an affair with her adoptive brother Robert.

In his rage, Andy tries to shoot Robert, but ends up hitting his father Jack.

Andy and Roberts’ breakup comes back to haunt them years later when the former remarries Katie in December 2014.

Love triangle: Andy and his adoptive brother Robert (Karl Davies) fell in love with Katie Addyman (Sammy Winward) on the show.

Powerful: In real life, Kelvin later won the 2019 series of Strictly Come Dancing alongside his professional dance partner, Oti Mabuse.

Their marriage doesn’t last long when Katie ends up falling to her death after a fight with Robert.

In 2008, Andy finally received justice for his part in the fire and Sarah’s death and was sentenced to prison.

He marries Jo Stiles (Roxanne Pallett) while in prison, but their marriage doesn’t last long after he began physically abusing her upon his release from prison.

Andy is now a father to Sarah and Jack Jr. with Debbie Dingle (Charley Webb) after a very complicated on-off relationship.

In real life, Kelvin later won the 2019 Strictly Come Dancing series along with his professional dance partner, Oti Mabuse.

New life: The former Emmerdale star moved from Manchester to a 120-acre farm in the Peak District in February 2021 with his wife Liz and their children Marnie, six, Milo, three

Happy parents: Kelvin and his wife Liz welcomed twin boys Maximus and Mateusz, aged six months, into the world last year
