Andy actor Kelvin Fletcher has convinced fans he will be returning to Emmerdale, and it’s all because of his recent appearance on The All New Monty.
Kelvin was a major player in the ITV soap, having become a staple in the village for 20 years.
Fans were devastated when the character then suffered a tragic departure in 2016, as the farmer was set up for the attempted murders of Laurence (played by John Bowe) and Chrissie White (Louise Marwood).
The White family was subsequently wiped out from the village when serial killer Lachlan White (Thomas Atkinson) orchestrated a horrific car crash on the soap, so many viewers wondered why it wasn’t the perfect catalyst for Andy to return.
What’s more, Sarah’s (Katie Hill) recent heart problems and her transplant operation was a puzzling storyline for fans who couldn’t understand why Andy wouldn’t rush back to the village to be by her side come what may.
Actress Charley, who is married to her co-star Matthew Wolfenden, recently shared a sweet post with the news the couple were having another baby.
With the star’s maternity leave impending on the ITV soap, will Andy come back as part of the plot?
Kelvin has been focusing on doing The All New Monty, a new campaign series to raise awareness for male cancers.
His currently high-profile television appearances have prompted calls for the actor’s return to the Yorkshire Dales.
Taking to Twitter, viewers shared their thoughts on the twist.
“When’s he gonna come back to Emmerdale and do more shirtless scenes?” one person wrote, marvelling at the actor’s toned physique.
A second said: “Come back to Emmerdale Kelvin Fletcher aka Andy Sugden!”
“Please come back to Emmerdale Kelvin Fletcher, it’s not the same without Andy!!” a third agreed.
While a fourth noted: “I want Andy and Debbie back together please Kelvin Fletcher #Emmerdale.”
The actor delivered a hilarious treat for fans this week as as he prepared to strip naked with Love Island winner Jack Fincham for the new show.
In the video posted on Jack’s Instagram Stories, the former Emmerdale star can be seen bending over with his bum on show, as the pair were getting ready to take to the stage for the charity programme.
The pair were in their dressing room at London’s Alexandra Palace when Jack decided to film them getting ready.
Jack can also be seen giggling in the background at his friend’s cheeky antics.
The video comes ahead of Kelvin’s appearance in The All New Full Monty, which is supported by charities Movember, Cancer Research, Everyman and Prostate Cancer UK.
Emmerdale continues tonight at 7pm on ITV.
