KELVIN FLETCHER

I've been spoilt with 'Emmerdale' over the years. I've had a taste of high drama, action, explosive scenes, emotional scenes and the odd bit of comedy with Bernice.

I always liked dancing and you'd go to class and find you had an hour acting and an hour of ballet.

Emmerdale' is and always will be in my DNA.

In many ways 'Emmerdale' is a huge part of my life but in many ways it's not. I've always had so many interests elsewhere - family and friends and other interests away from that.

The vast majority of my fan mail comes from older women and gay men.

I'm young but I can't wait to marry and have kids.

I'll be happiest when I've got my wife and my home.

Keep hydrated: I drink at least 4 litres of water a day.

I'm a massive fan of 'Strictly' so it's incredible. I'm so happy that I can be a part of it.

I know very little about farming!

We're pretty sure Liz fell pregnant on our wedding night.

I spend most of my time at home dancing with my daughter to things like 'Frozen' and 'The Greatest Showman.'

I'm like most people. I keep fit for myself. I'm not religious about it but I like to get to the gym whenever I can.

I think what 'Emmerdale' are excited about is that my exit storyline is the catalyst for other storylines for characters like Chrissie and Lawrence.

When I arrived at 'Emmerdale,' Clive was the one person I got really starstruck about. It was weird, I was there with my dad and he said, 'There's Jack Sugden.' He was lovely, very welcoming and absolutely massive.

I watch a lot of English films but one of my favourites is 'Gladiator.' It's epic - if it doesn't get you fired up, nothing will.

My experience of dancing is exclusively at weddings or parties with alcohol involved and in the dark.

I have been pretty happy with how I look but if I have a hectic week with family or work life, that has got to be my priority and the gym takes a back seat. Then a couple of weeks turn into a couple of months and before you know it you feel like you've got the 'dad bod.'

I find it funny that I'm a pin-up.

That's one thing I need to work on, my flexibility. I'm not mobile enough, am I.

I train and keep in shape. It's quite vain.

I like the idea of doing a part which, as a straight guy, is really different to me. I'd just see doing a gay kiss, and a gay role, as something different. Plus I have plenty of gay mates, so I could probably practice with them.

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.

The amazing thing with a soap is every day you're challenged, the amount of storylines we go through, the amount of emotions you get to play is really challenging.

I just want to be a normal lad and not known as 'that bloke off the telly.'
