Kevin Fletcher shared a heartbreaking loss live on Lorraine after a ‘traumatic experience’ with his wife Liz Marsland at their family farm. 

The soap star, 41, appeared on the ITV daytime show hosted by Lorraine Kelly, 65, on Wednesday with his wife, Liz.

They showed camera crew around their farm, which features on their own show Fletcher’s Family Farm. 

Kevin and Liz revealed they had already jumped into lambing season unexpectedly after a young male sheep got through the fence and to the females ‘a little early’.

However, the couple shared how they devastatingly lost one of the babies in the difficult birth.

‘We don’t start officially start lambing until next week, but we’ve had four little new arrivals that have come early and they’re very welcome,’ Liz explained.

The camera then panned to show the adorable lambs in a pen with their mother. 

‘Sadly the mum there, she did have a prolapse and she was actually in lamb with triplets and we sadly lost the first one. But we’ve managed to obviously save these two,’ Kevin added.

‘They were looking very small when they were first born, they’re probably about four or five days old now and we’ve also been bottle feeding them to help mum out and to make sure she’s okay after a kind of traumatic experience.’

Kevin and his actress wife Liz, best known as Cold Feet’s Rosemary, bought a 120-acre farm on the edge of the Peak District in 2020, where they live with their four children. 

The couple share children Marnie, seven, Milo, four, and 23-month-old twins Maximus and Mateusz. 

He and Liz, with their children, moved to the countryside after years of city living. 

Kelvin admitted that he only set foot on a farm once he started work on Emmerdale, where he played Andy Sugden for 20 years.

He previously told Daily Mail’s Weekend Magazine: ‘I’m a bit of a jack-of-all-trades. I’m a farmer, actor, father, househusband… Liz is the same. We’re both fulfilling a lot of roles.

‘It is chaotic, sometimes overwhelming,’ said Kelvin.

‘But as I keep saying to Liz, there will be a day – maybe when the kids leave home – when we will feel more relaxed.

‘I’m sure people will say, ‘How are they managing all this?’ But it’s brilliant. We’re happy, fulfilled, excited.’

They have a flock of rare-breed Cotswold sheep as well as chickens, alpacas, rabbits and pigs.

Lorraine airs weekdays on ITV1 from 9am and is available to stream on ITVX.
