Television star Liz Fletcher, known for her role in Emmerdale, has recently expressed her desire to take part in the hit show, Strictly Come Dancing. Liz’s husband, Kelvin, emerged as the champion of the popular dance competition in 2019, and now Liz wants to experience the thrill and challenge for herself.
During a podcast interview with TV wine expert Amelia Singer, Liz spoke about her interest in participating in Strictly Come Dancing, despite admitting that she would be “sick with nerves” if given the opportunity. She has witnessed her husband’s journey through the competition and acknowledged the nerve-wracking nature of the show. However, Liz also emphasized the sense of achievement and pride that Kelvin experienced after putting in a week’s worth of hard work, culminating in a memorable performance on Saturday night.
The couple, who have four children together, including one-year-old twins, expressed their fondness for the show and the support they have for each other’s ambitions. Kelvin assured Liz that he would be there to guide her through the process if she decides to take on the challenge.
Apart from her aspirations for Strictly Come Dancing, Liz and Kelvin also discussed their life on their 120-acre farm located in the Peak District. Their experiences on the farm have been the subject of a popular ITV series called Fletchers’ Family Farm. Kelvin shared an amusing anecdote about his farming skills, revealing that he found himself doing a twirl while attempting to catch a sheep, reminiscent of his fancy footwork on Strictly Come Dancing.
Liz expressed her appreciation for the country fashion that she has discovered through their life on the farm. She now feels at home in wellies, a tweed coat, and a hat, embracing a new style that she previously had not been exposed to.
During the podcast interview, Amelia Singer and the Fletchers discussed the possibility of creating their own wine on their farm. Kelvin expressed excitement at the idea, seeing it as a potential future project. Liz jokingly remarked that making wine might even be easier than taking care of the farm animals.
Kelvin and Liz have been married for eight years. They first met in school but only started dating later on, culminating in a romantic candlelit wedding ceremony covered exclusively by HELLO! magazine in November 2015.
Kelvin, who considers himself a romantic, shared a heartwarming wedding gift he gave to Liz. He had kept the business card of the restaurant where they had their first date for over a decade and presented it to Liz the night before their wedding. The card had a heartfelt message written on the back, expressing Kelvin’s anticipation and excitement to marry her the following day.
Liz Fletcher, inspired by her husband’s success on Strictly Come Dancing, wants to conquer the dance floor herself. While acknowledging the nerves and challenges that come with participating in the show, Liz is eager to experience the sense of accomplishment and pride that her husband felt. As a couple, the Fletchers continue to support each other’s dreams and find joy in their lives on their farm, from embracing country fashion to exploring the possibility of winemaking. Their eight-year marriage remains strong, with Kelvin’s romantic gestures and Liz’s secret to a lasting and happy relationship.
