Emmerdale' is and always will be in my DNA.
— Kelvin Fletcher
I think what 'Emmerdale' are excited about is that my exit storyline is the catalyst for other storylines for characters like Chrissie and Lawrence.
My dancing idol is my dad. Growing up watching him dance to Northern Soul I used to think ‘He looks cool.'
I spend most of my time at home dancing with my daughter to things like 'Frozen' and 'The Greatest Showman.'
I probably eat about 300-350g of carbs a day. About 160g of protein, about 60-80g of fat, which I think is about 2,500-3,000 calories.
I know very little about farming!
I left it entirely in the hands of the 'Emmerdale' team and had no input into how Andy would leave. I put my full trust in them to come up with a way for him to leave that was fitting for the character.
Emmerdale' is a great place to work and I genuinely wouldn't be here if I didn't want to be.
I don't want to let anyone down and I don't want to let myself down.
I am pretty quiet, and people say I'm shy.
I've gone through my adolescence on TV so it's pretty cringey when I look back on some pictures and scenes, but that's part and parcel of being a child actor and growing up.
Most people in TV are nice but there are some who just live in Egoville. They're not talented, they're just famous. I don't want to be like that.
I'm very fortunate now in that I have my first love, which is drama and acting, for a living and I'm also managing to go racing as well.
I'm very proud of some of the stories I've been given thanks to the team at 'Emmerdale,' they've been great over the years so hopefully that will continue.
That's one thing I need to work on, my flexibility. I'm not mobile enough, am I.
Liz knows me, she's known me since I was eight-years-old, and we're very happily married. And don't forget, she's watched me kiss numerous actresses on 'Emmerdale.'
I felt that as an actor I continued to excel and felt really comfortable and confident in myself that I wanted to at least give it a go and picture myself doing other things. It was testament to 'Emmerdale' that they gave me the confidence and creativity to pursue other challenges.
I knew I wanted to marry Liz the day I met her. Deep down I knew she was The One.
I suddenly received a call from my agent offering me the chance to do 'Strictly' and I had to make the decision within an hour or two. I was doing a different job towards the end of the year so I had to change my plans, but it was a no-brainer.
It was only when I got to 21 that my personality started coming out a little bit more.
I want to continue to be challenged and feel a sense of fulfilment, like I have over the years at 'Emmerdale.' I've got aspirations to do other genres and I'm really keen to play a different character, whether it's in comedy or action, and just do something that's completely different.
I've always had aspirations to play other characters, but over the years I've always felt so happy and so challenged at 'Emmerdale.'
It's been good and a nice chance to work with some great actors and actresses - Natalie Anderson, Jeff Hordley, Emma Atkins, Charley Webb and Dominic Power.
There's no one who puts more pressure on me than myself.
It's always nice to hear nice things, but I don't suddenly go out and think I'm the best thing since sliced bread.
Night shoots are great. They always feel quite mischievous and naughty because you're out working while everyone else is in bed.
I'll be happiest when I've got my wife and my home.
I'm a massive fan of 'Strictly' so it's incredible. I'm so happy that I can be a part of it.
Obviously I went through my adolescence on national TV, but it's great looking back.
Maybe in another life I would have liked to have been a dancer. But I was a cheeky chappy who wanted to be an actor.
I won an award when I was 15 and my mum and dad were very proud and so was I but for me, individual things like that aren't as significant as I have been part of so much and there were weeks and months of hard work building up to those pinnacle moments and they can be full of moments of pride.
As an actor, you always have aspirations to play different roles.
I've very much moved on and I want to pursue other things. I've done 'Emmerdale,' I wanted to move on and do other things.
Carbs get a bad press, but they're pretty important.
What was weird, as a 12-year-old actor, was being expected to behave like an adult while still being treated as a kid everywhere else.
I've always enjoyed the big stunt scenes that I've had - from the barn fire when I first started in 'Emmerdale,' to years later when Victoria started a fire and Andy had to rescue people.
I've had a couple of storylines in the past that have never been done by a soap before, which is nice.
It's always nice to get a storyline - I know all actors say that, but it genuinely is, as it feels like the show's team are putting their faith in you to do it justice, so it's quite a compliment.
It's funny how you can say performing is in the blood, and if I'm considered a performer being an actor, then it's certainly in the blood.
Because I enjoy training, obviously what comes with that is if you haven't been training, or you're not feeling like you're in great shape, then the last thing you want to do, like anyone, is to be seen by millions half naked.
I'm young but I can't wait to marry and have kids.
The 'Strictly' experience is really like no other - the training and work that goes into it is immense.
Emmerdale's been great. I'm very biased but I think it's in a really good place.
I do remember a time and I can quite easily imagine a time without - looking to a future without 'Emmerdale.'
I've got a three-year-old daughter. To picture her being a dancer, I'd absolutely love that. I'm in absolute awe of what they do. Just seeing them work, they're incredible.
