Is Kelvin Fletcher returning to Emmerdale?

And after he was spotted on set, it seemed a done deal he’s due for a comeback.

But Kelvin said in an interview with ITV’s Loose Women that this is not the case.

He said he was back on set to film a short interview – and that he has ‘no plans’ to return to the soap opera.

He explained: “I was only there to film a little interview.

“So no, I have no plans to go back, I was there to film an interview.”

The actor turned race car driver also commented on his surprise Strictly stint.

He filled in for Jamie Laing who had to pull out of last year’s competition due to an injury.

He said he had auditioned three times previously – and never been selected.

Kelvin recalled: “As an actor you are very used to rejection, but I always change it to redirection, I was redirected an awful lot.

“And then I got the call out of the blue to say unfortunately somebody had been the victim of an injury and there was a place there if I wanted it.”
