Strictly's Kelvin Fletcher announces that his wife is expecting their third child

Strictly 2019 champion Kelvin Fletcher and his wife Liz have announced that they are expecting their third child.

The former Emmerdale star and his wife, who have a daughter Marnie and son Milo, have revealed the joyous news saying they 'can't wait' to meet the news addition to the family, reports the Mirror.

Kelvin, who played Andy Sugden in Emmerdale, met Liz at school and she was the first girl he ever kissed.

And their future together appears to have been mapped out.

Strictly Come Dancing fans were in tears as Kelvin told the story behind how they got together during his triumphant run on BBC dance show.

The pair lost contact when she went to university, and Kelvin was working on the ITV soap Emmerdale.

They met by chance again in a bar in Manchester and they married in 2015, welcoming daughter Marnie in August 2016 and son Milo in December 2018.

The couple said in a statement: "There’s no question that for the Fletcher family the best thing to come out of 2021 is the news that we are expecting again.

"We are feeling extremely grateful and can’t wait to meet the new addition to our family."

Kelvin, who played Andy Sugden in Emmerdale from 1996 to 2016, won the 2019 series of Strictly with Oti Mabuse after stepping in when Made In Chelsea's Jamie Laing was injured.

Next year the family will star in the new show Kelvin’s Big Farming Adventure which document the experiences of the family as they move into a 120-acre 18th-century farm in the Peak District to start a farming business.

Kelvin announced on his Instagram about the move: "So happy to finally announce this!

"If you’ve been sat there wondering what these random farming and outdoor pictures are all about well now you know!

"We have literally jumped in at the deep end and bought a farm!

"A reluctant Wife, two crazy kids and a husband with knowledge of farming you could write on the back of a stamp!

"What could possibly go wrong?!"
