Since leaving the soap, Kelvin has been enjoying his most important role to date – that of a dad to daughter Marnie Molly – and has become a professional racing driver. He now competes in the British GT.

As for Emmerdale, the door was left open for popular character Andy to return if he ever wanted to.

And actor Kelvin has always said “never say never”.
