Kelvin Fletcher & Liz Fletcher

Here’s an updated and polished version of the article about Kelvin and Liz Fletcher, with expanded detail and context.

The former soap-star turned farmer and his wife have dropped an exciting update from their rural life: their farm family is about to grow once more — but this time, it’s for the animals.

Two years ago, Kelvin Fletcher and his wife Liz made the bold decision to leave city life behind in Oldham and relocate to a 120-acre farm in the Peak District. Since then they have documented their journey on their reality-TV show Fletchers’ Family Farm, which gives viewers a glimpse into their life as newbie farmers raising their four young children. 

Despite some setbacks — including a dramatic fire earlier this year that forced the family to leave their home temporarily — the Fletchers have bounced back and are now looking ahead with optimism.

🐑 New Arrivals on the Horizon

During an appearance on the show Lorraine on 13 November, Kelvin and Liz shared that the busy farming calendar is shifting into a new phase: mating season.
Liz explained: “We’ve expanded on the cows, we’ve expanded on the sheep.” Meanwhile Kelvin teased: “This is now mating season… but I have to be clear, that’s not me and Liz! That is for the sheep.” 

He continued: “We’re getting the tup ready because we’re already looking ahead to springtime when we will be expecting some lambs.” The preparation is centred around ensuring the male sheep (the tups) are ready to meet the females. 

The Bigger Picture

• Their show, Fletchers’ Family Farm, is now into its third series. Filming life on a farm with four young children and the ups and downs of agriculture has resonated with viewers; the family have shown resilience and determination.

• The update about lambs arriving adds to the real-life stakes of sorts: it’s not just a TV series, but a functioning farm enterprise with real responsibilities and timelines.

Why This Matters

The news reminds us that life on a farm is cyclical and forward-looking: from disasters (like the fire) to new life (lambing). It also shows how Kelvin and Liz are fully invested in this life change — not just as a TV subject, but as real farmers.
For viewers, it adds excitement: watching the family anticipate spring, prepare animals, and manage the workload offers more than just a TV moment — it gives a sense of progression and authenticity.
