ITV Emmerdale's Kelvin Fletcher and wife Liz share exciting farm announcement
Emmerdale star Kelvin Fletcher and his wife Liz have delighted their followers with an exciting update from their cherished farm, receiving a warm response.
The couple's domestic life has been increasingly in the spotlight since they swapped city living for a more idyllic life with their kids on a sprawling 120-acre farm, raising their four young children.
Lately, the pair have opened up their farming adventures to the public eye through their hit ITV series Fletcher's Family Farm, which is set to grace screens again later this year with a fresh season and a Fletchers' Family Farm Christmas special.
Viewers of the programme have seen Kelvin, formerly known as Emmerdale's farmer Andy Sugden, genuinely take to the fields with Liz, and now the duo have announced something new which has delighted their online followers.
Taking to Instagram, Kelvin and Liz excitedly shared that they have crafted their own gin, offering fans a "little taste of our farm", as reported by Manchester Evening News.
Alongside images of their latest venture and the couple smiling with their signature spirit, they posted on their Fletcher's on the Farm Instagram account: "It's FINALLY here!
"Say hello to Fletcher's Wincle Peak Gin – a little taste of our farm in a bottle. We've been foraging, blending, and fine-tuning for months, and now it's ready to share!".
The post continued, "Infused with wild botanicals from our very own farm. Made using fresh spring water straight from our hills. Available in THREE delicious flavours: Classic Dry Gin, Apple, Mint and Lemon Verbena [and] Strawberry, Hibiscus and Black Pepper (yes, it's as good as it sounds)"This is a very limited run – once it's gone, that's it for now. Link in bio to grab your bottle and sip the spirit of the countryside. #FletchersGin #WinclePeakGin #FarmToBottle #ForagedFlavours#GinWithSoul."
Their followers were delighted as they shared their comments. One fan said: "I love the name you've given it, I may have to buy a bottle or two as presents." Another commented: "Looks gorgeous."
Someone else wrote: "Sounds delicious especially the strawberry and hibiscus flavour." One fan replied: "Looks great."
"Aww brilliant, I love a glass or 2 of gin. Have to give this one a try," posted another. One person simply added: "Love this."
It comes following Kelvin's confirmation that filming for the upcoming series of Fletcher's Family Farm is currently underway, with episodes expected to air by October.
He also revealed that another Fletchers' Family Farm Christmas special will return in December. Kelvin was enthusiastic when discussing the programme, as he said "The show has been really well received. I don't know what it is, but I think the audience is learning with us."

Harry Hill says he was ‘absolutely merciless' in his determination to succeed
Hill, who gave up medicine for a career in comedy, was speaking as he appeared as a guest on BBC Radio 4's Desert Island Discs. 'I was absolutely driven,' he told host Lauren Laverne. 'I had gone from doing 80, 100 hours a week as a doctor, getting up at the crack of dawn. Suddenly I had all this time free during the day, so I really felt like I had something to prove. 'So I would get up and I would write jokes.' Hill said he would make constant calls to get bookings when he started doing stand-up in the early 1990s. 'I would just bug them and bug them,' he said. 'I was absolutely merciless in my pursuit of it. It's not the funniest people that get on, it's the pushiest. And I was pushy.' Hill, whose real name is Matthew Hall, said his first stand-up gig was at a Mexican restaurant in South Norwood, south London. 'My first gag got a laugh, and it completely threw me because I had been rehearsing it without laughs,' he told Laverne. But he recovered and continued his routine, and even got another booking from it. Hill, who won the Perrier Award for best newcomer at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 1992, said being a comedian means 'I can get away with just about any silly behaviour'. Hill, who created and presented Harry Hill's TV Burp on ITV from 2001 to 2012, said he takes time to prepare ahead of his comedy routines. 'I have to have an hour to myself,' he said. 'It's not a character, it is me. It is a persona, if you like. 'I have to pace up and down and work myself up, because if I don't do that it's not as funny.' Describing how he felt about being a doctor, he told Laverne about an incident soon after he qualified, when he had to break the news to a man that his wife had unexpectedly died during an operation. 'I was completely out of my depth,' he said. 'I told him and he started crying, and I started crying. I thought this is – this isn't good. What it makes you do is bottle up your emotions.' But he added: 'I wasn't a bad doctor.' Among the songs he chose as his desert island discs were Hey Bulldog by the Beatles, Life During Wartime by Talking Heads, and Gay Bar by Electric Six. Hill said a 'thick book you could use to kill small mammals' would be useful, and chose Don Quixote by Miguel de Cervantes. He said his luxury item would be a bucket and spade, because 'where's the fun of a sandy beach without the ability to make sandcastles?'

The 29-year-old was born in London to Kosovo-Albanian parents, Anesa and Dukagjin Lipa, and moved to the country's capital of Pristina aged 11, when her family returned after Kosovo gained its independence in 2008, before moving back to London aged 15.

She added: 'Special honour that today, by presidential decree, to grant citizenship of the Republic of Kosovo to Dua Lipa, one of the most important cultural and artistic personalities in the history of our country. 'Dua and Kosovo have always been inseparable. She has been and continues to be one of the most powerful voices on the world's biggest stages, making history with her achievements and becoming an inspiration to millions of people around the globe. A post shared by DUA LIPA (@dualipa) 'Our gratitude is endless for all that Dua has done and continues to do for Kosovo, for our youth, for our art and for the international image of our country. 'Dua, Kosovo is always proud of you.' At her initiation ceremony, Lipa was welcomed by a group of children dressed in white singing her 2020 UK hit single Levitating. In a statement, Lipa added: 'Every time I come back to Kosovo, it always feels like coming home.

'I feel so incredibly lucky and grateful, and we still have two more nights to celebrate together.' In November 2022, the singer was granted Albanian citizenship by its president Bajram Begaj.
