Kelvin Fletcher Reveals Disappointing Update on Emmerdale’s Andy Sugden
Former Emmerdale actor Kelvin Fletcher has shared his thoughts on returning to his beloved character, Andy Sugden. Fletcher portrayed Andy on the popular ITV soap from 1996 until 2016. Since leaving Emmerdale, he has taken a different path that he describes as fulfilling.
Kelvin Fletcher’s Life After Emmerdale
After two decades on the show, Fletcher has embraced new ventures, including winning Strictly Come Dancing and running a farm. His experiences are chronicled in the ITV series, Fletchers’ Family Farm. During a recent appearance on James Martin’s Saturday Morning, he discussed his feelings about Emmerdale.
No Desire to Return
When asked if he misses his time in the Dales, Fletcher gave a clear response: “No I don’t.” He reflected on his past, stating, “Emmerdale was 20 happy years, but there’s not a day goes by I’d ever really think about it, really.” His statements indicate a strong commitment to moving forward, emphasizing that his time on the show is a chapter he has closed.
Joking About Andy’s Exit
Fletcher humorously noted how Andy Sugden’s exit storyline involved moving to Spain. He suggested that if he were to return, he might come back with a tan and possibly retrain as a chef, seeing as he now appears on a cooking show.
