Former Emmerdale favourite Kelvin Fletcher has given fans an intimate glimpse into his chaotic yet joyful family life, revealing the emotional journey he and wife Liz Marsland have experienced since becoming parents to four children under five.
The 40-year-old actor, who shot to fame as Andy Sugden in the ITV soap, sat down for a heartfelt conversation about the realities of parenting their growing brood - three-year-old twins Max and Mateo and one-year-old Marnie.
The Overwhelming Reality of Four Under Five
Fletcher didn't hold back when describing the couple's initial reaction to discovering they were expecting twins just months after welcoming their first child. "It's been a whirlwind," the Strictly Come Dancing winner confessed. "When we found out about the twins, it was just complete and utter shock."
The couple's family expanded rapidly after Marnie's arrival in 2022, creating what Fletcher describes as "organised chaos" in their household.
Liz's Emotional Confession
In perhaps the most touching revelation, Fletcher shared his wife's heartfelt admission about their family dynamic. "Liz said to me the other day, 'I just can't remember what it was like before we had children,'" he revealed, highlighting how completely their lives have transformed.
The emotional weight of this confession underscores how deeply immersed they've become in parenting and how their previous life seems almost unrecognisable now.
From Racing Track to Nursery
Since leaving Emmerdale in 2016, Fletcher has carved out a successful career in motorsport while simultaneously navigating the challenges of fatherhood. The professional racing driver admits that life has changed dramatically from his days on the Yorkshire Dales set.
"We're in the thick of it now," he laughed, describing the daily reality of managing multiple young children. "The twins are three, Marnie's one - it's full on."
A Love Story Continues
The couple, who tied the knot in a beautiful ceremony back in 2015, have seen their relationship evolve through the challenges and joys of rapid family expansion. Fletcher's openness about their journey provides a refreshingly honest look at modern parenting in the spotlight.
Despite the chaos and sleep deprivation, the former soap star makes it clear that he wouldn't change a thing about their unexpected path to becoming a family of six.
