The former Emmerdale star has issued a worrying health update in the latest instalment of his ITV reality series, Fletchers’ Family Farm.
Kelvin Fletcher has delivered fans a concerning health update in the latest episode of his ITV reality programme, Fletchers’ Family Farm.
During today’s broadcast (November 23), the full severity of the former Emmerdale actor’s injuries from a charity rugby match was revealed.
The celebrity had volunteered to take part alongside professional players Gareth Ellis, Mark Flanagan and Danny McGuire to raise funds for the David Lewis Centre, a charity that assists people with complex needs.
The television personality had originally been substituted, but was subsequently seen in the match being brought down in a tackle. He confessed at the time: “I’m hoping, fingers crossed, I’ve not, but it feels like I’ve torn my bicep.”
In the most recent update provided to audiences, he disclosed that a scan had now verified he was indeed battling a torn bicep, leaving him unable to fulfil his duties on the farm, reports the Mirror.

“I need to find a potential understudy,” he commented on the show as he considered whether he could still present his Lincoln Red cattle at the Royal Cheshire Show.
Speaking to wife Liz, he said: “My arm is killing me still. My arm’s really sore and I’m just thinking whether it’s best you taking them. You’ll be fine.”
He continued: “Let’s just see, but just on standby. How do you feel about that?”

Liz, evidently unimpressed responded: “Well not great, obviously,” as Kelvin assured her that “despite the adversity, despite the hiccups we’re still going to go.”
Later in the episode, Liz shared her worries about presenting the cows, telling the cameras: “Where I thought I was just going to be having a lovely day at the Cheshire show with the kids, no pressure, no worries, I’m now told I’m going to have to step it up and potentially be the one that’s in the ring with the cow because of Kelvin’s injury.”
She went on to say: “I feel underprepared, more than last year. Even though he is a beautiful and calm temperament, it’s how does he respond to those other bulls. But we’re in it now, what can we do? We’re going.”
Adding to his torn muscle, Kelvin was also seen suffering a paper cut as wife Liz teased him for being a “delicate flower” before giving him a tight hug.
Fletchers’ Family Farm airs on ITV1 every Sunday, with episodes available to stream via ITVX

“NO ONE SHOULD BE SLEEPING ON THE STREETS.” Bradley Walsh has reportedly given away every penny of his £2 million bonus and sponsorship earnings — not for publicity, not for praise, but to build 150 housing units and fund 300 emergency shelter beds for people with nowhere to go. Those close to him say the decision was made quietly, without cameras or announcements. “Bradley didn’t see it as charity,” one source revealed. “He saw it as responsibility.” At a time when most stars protect their wealth, Walsh’s gesture has stunned fans — not because of its size, but because of its sincerity. And as the first doors prepare to open, one line keeps echoing from those who know him best: “He just wanted people to come in from the cold.”
