In Kelvin's Big Farming Adventure, he is shown starting a 120 acre farm in the Peak District with his wife Liza Marsland.

The two share children Marnie, 5 and Milo, 3 and are now expecting twins.

They began with a flock of 28 sheep, three alpacas and two rabbits.

But speaking on This Morning, Kelvin revealed that actually, Kelvin's Big Farming Adventure had already begun filming when Diddly Squat Farm first made its TV debut.

Kelvin's got plenty of pictures to prove it as well as his Instagram is covered in shots of his family enjoying the farmland.

The star is best known for playing Andy Sugden on ITV soap Emmerdale for 20 years, bagging best actor and best dramatic performance gongs.

After leaving the ITV soap he went on to appear on BBC’s Strictly Come Dancing in 2019 and despite not being in the original line-up he went on to win the show alongside his pro dance partner Oti Mabuse.
