Kelvin Fletcher has accidentally revealed a significant spoiler, seemingly confirming the return date of Fletcher’s Family Farm. In his most recent Instagram story, Kelvin gave fans an exciting update about the fourth series of the ITV show.
As the ex-soap star stepped into the sound booth to begin recording the voice-over for the initial episodes, he shared with his followers: “Anyway, we’re in the little sound booth today. We are doing the VO on series four, EPS one, two, and three.”
He added, “Oh, it’s good to be back, and can you believe it? Series four is coming very soon, in the next few weeks. I think it starts on the eighth of February. So that’s how late we are. That’s how late we do it. That’s how fresh it is.”
Currently, fans can tune in to watch episodes from the first series, which airs at 7.30pm on Monday evenings. The synopsis for the forthcoming episode teases: “Emotions run high as the family hosts their first public event, while Marnie explains the importance of animal husbandry as she cares for orphaned lamb Aga.
“Bruce the boar arrives on the farm to maximise the chances of pig-breeding success, and Kelvin and Liz roll up their sleeves as they renovate the farm cottage as a holiday rental to bring in extra income,” reports the Daily Mirror.

Last weekend, Kelvin and his wife, Liz, who share four children, appeared on James Martin’s cooking show to discuss the new series and how running a farm was never part of the family’s original plans.
In a recent chat with the TV chef, Kelvin shared some exciting news about the upcoming series: “The back end of last year, we finished series three, and then we’re already straight on with series four, so that’s coming out very soon.”
The TV chef responded with a playful jab: “So you can’t really complain about it because it was your idea to do the filming in the first place.
“We just kind of thought, it’s hopefully of interest,” confessed the former Emmerdale star.

“It’s interesting to us and our journey into farming and to this new life, and then, we kind of pitched the idea, and thankfully, ITV thought it was a good idea, too, and four series later, we’re still doing it.”
When speaking about their original plans to move their family to America, Liz explained, “As two actors, we thought, you know, Kelvin had been in Emmerdale for 20 years, and we kind of wanted to try something different, and as two actors, we thought, ‘Well, why not? Let’s go to Hollywood and LA and see what happens’.
“And we only had two children at the time, but unfortunately, Covid stopped that, and they actually stopped the visas. We never got the visas completed because they said, ‘There’ll be a pause on this for at least two years’.”
She added, “But we’d mentally moved on, hadn’t we? We sold the house, and we were like, ‘Well, what are we going to do now?’ And that’s when we saw the farm, and it’s literally that that sprung the idea.”
