Fletchers’ Family Farm stars Kelvin Fletcher and wife Liz have opened up on their festive plans

Kelvin Fletcher has shared important farm news as he teased “transformation”.

The ex-Emmerdale actor and his wife Liz, along with their children Marnie, Milo, Maximus, and Mateusz, are familiar faces on Fletchers’ Family Farm.

During Friday’s (December 19) episode of ITV’s Lorraine, the couple shared their Christmas plans for their 120-acre Peak District farm in a pre-recorded segment.

“Christmas is around the corner and we’ve got a lot to do. We have to decorate the entire farm for a magical Christmas at the farm,” Liz detailed, with Kelvin chiming in: “It always starts with me and Liz bringing our ideas to life, so yeah, we’ve got quite a busy few weeks coming up.”

The pair started their festive preparations by repurposing an old wooden pallet into a welcoming Christmas sign. Kelvin opted for black paint for the lettering, humorously confessing: “If it’s bad, I’m going to say the kids have done it!” reports the Mirror.

Liz then jested: “I don’t think Meghan Markle will be getting you on her show, Kelvin.”

She continued: “I’m supposed to be the creative one in the family, but it is really therapeutic to do and I can always tell Kelvin, although he’s like, ‘Yeah, you get on with that,’ he always wants to get involved. As you can see, he takes it quite seriously.”

She fondly reminisced: “When I met Kelvin, he was a proper lad’s lad. Drinking beers out with the rugby lads. Look at him now, taking painting a pallet really seriously.”

The duo then shifted their focus to decking out the farm for an impending Christmas event, with a plethora of decorations ready to spread some holiday spirit.

Kelvin shared: “We’ve got a Christmas event coming up soon, so I think it’s going to be quite key for that. It’s a nice welcome notice. And then we’re going to transform the whole farm into a winter farm wonderland, if you like. There will be fairy lights galore and snowmen, it’ll feel very Christmassy.”

Liz chimed in: “We got a tonne to decorate and it feels like we’ve not even started.”

Next, Kelvin set off to gather holly, after which Liz crafted a beautiful wreath for their front door using Christmas tree branches, baubles and other adornments. “I like to have a wreath that’s already made and go quite big with it, or you can start from scratch,” she explained.

“My favourite thing about Christmas is it’s the only time that you’ll get your brothers, the wives, the cousins, the aunties all together. You’ll have tables at all different heights because you’re using all the emergency tables, all the emergency chairs. But you’re all there, and that’s what I love. I love seeing all the children together with their cousins, that’s what’s special.”

For those keen to spend more time with the Fletchers this festive season, an exhilarating Christmas special titled Fletchers’ Country Workshop is available for streaming on ITVX. The programme features Liz unveiling her recent enthusiasm for upcycling, crafting and interior design, perfectly timed for Christmas Day.
