Strictly Come Dancing winner Kelvin Fletcher has traded the ballroom for a 120-acre farm in the Peak District, but his rural dream is quickly turning into a nightmare. The former Emmerdale star, who played a farmer on the soap, now faces the harsh realities of real-life farming with no prior experience.
Fletcher and his wife Liz purchased the sprawling estate on the edge of the Peak District National Park, aiming to restore it to its former working glory. However, just a month in, the mounting to-do list and rising stress levels are taking a toll. The couple are relying on their no-nonsense neighbour Gilly for guidance.
Before investing in their own livestock, the Fletchers are gaining hands-on experience with Gilly's sheep. The grim reality of animal husbandry hit home when Kelvin encountered a sheep with a maggot-infested foot, leaving him questioning whether this new life is truly for him.
