The character has grown a bushy moustache for the role and he told Lorraine Kelly he regularly gets funny looks from members of the public. He said: "I keep forgetting that I've got it and people do a double take."
It has been a busy year for Kelvin away from the world of showbiz as his wife, Liz, welcomed twins in May. Liz and Kelvin already shared daughter Marnie and son Milo - and took to Instagram to proudly show off the new additions to the family.
She shared a snap of the babies, alongside the caption: "They are here!! My heart is filled with so much love and gratitude."
