Emmerdale's Kelvin Fletcher floored fans with a rare pic of his lookalike brother - as many gasped 'you're the spitting image of each other!'

The actor, 41 - who played Andy Sugden on the ITV soap between 1996 and 2016 - took to Instagram to pay a loving tribute to his sibling Dean. 

Since leaving Emmerdale, Kelvin, his wife Liz, 40 - who tied the knot in 2015 - and their kids Marnie, Milo, and twin sons Maximus and Mateusz, have welcomed cameras into their life on ITV's Fletcher's Family Farm.

On Monday the soap star shared a throwback snap of the pair together when they were younger sitting on a couch in matching outfits alongside a picture of them now, with their children.

Kelvin wrote on the social media platform: 'The sofa’s different but the love is the same, and we are now sharing it with our 8 beautiful children. 

'Still my biggest supporter, my closest confidant and my deepest bond. I love you brother.'

While many gushed at how sweet the post was, others couldn't believe how similar they looked and thought they were twins.  

'Wow looks like your twins xxx.'

Another replied: 'I thought this!!! Spitting image!'

'Oh wow you are so alike.' 

'looks like your twins.'

'Blimey Kelvin youre so alike.' 

Bloody hell, look like twins in both pics!! 

Kelvin has two brothers, Dean, who mainly keeps out of the spotlight, as well as Brayden, who appeared on Coronation Street in 2019. 

When Brayden made an appearance on the ITV soap, Kelvin tweeted: 'Who saw my little brother @Brayden_Fletch making his tv debut on @itvcorrie last night? 

He also has a half-sister musician Keeley Forsyth. 

Back in 2019, Kelvin was supported by Dean in the Strictly audience when he took part in the show.

Dean was seen giving his older brother a standing ovation after he opened the show with a Cha Cha Cha alongside professional partner Oti Mabuse. 

Host Claudia Winkleman asked Kelvin about their close relationship during the post-dance interview, saying: 'You called him your rock he's been really important during this process hasn't he?'  

'Yeah, he's my best mate, I idolise him,' Kelvin gushed prompting an outpouring of 'awws' from the audience and Claudia to cheekily joke: 'It just got weird.' 

Last month Kelvin's wife admitted that she's not his 'dream woman' as she got real about married life on Sunday's episode of Fletchers’ Family Farm.

The former Emmerdale star and wife Liz landed their very own ITV programme back in 2021. 

The pair and kids daughter Marnie, son Milo and twins Mateusz and Maximus, let cameras into their lives on their 120-acre farm in Wincle, a village in Cheshire. 

The Christmas special saw the family head to Austria and they stayed with the Achrainer family, and matriarch Martina gave Liz a baking lesson.

Martina showed her how to make traditional Austrian fried dough pastries called Bauernkrapfen. 

After making the tasty treats, Liz said to camera: 'That was so fascinating and it’s so good to see that they have this real farmer’s wife tradition. And they keep this tradition and they cook to celebrate...

'And actually, that's probably Kelvin's dream woman.'

As she giggled to herself, she added: 'A farmer's wife... and he got me, and I can't cook.'

Kelvin and Liz, who have known each other since they were young, started dating in 2009.

The pair got engaged in 2014 and tied the knot the following year. 

They bought their farm back in 2021 after originally planning to move to California, but Covid stopped them from doing so. 

And the couple have documented how it's been on their shows Kelvin’s Big Farming Adventure and Fletchers’ Family Farm. 

Previously speaking on BBC Breakfast about their move, Kelvin said: 'I think for me, I personally don’t want to seek any sort of validation elsewhere.

'I know how valued we are as a family and what we do in our small family farm, and I share that with every other family farm.

'You take great pride in producing food and having a real acknowledgement towards nature, towards the habitat.

'You’re a custodian of the land, and it’s a privilege.'

He also told Country and Town House last year: 'I think that’s what has been amazing about filming an observational documentary. 

'There were a lot of considerations initially: as actors, to invite a film crew into your personal space, in a situation that you’re still figuring out yourself.

'There were some serious considerations there. 

'But we did it as honestly as we could, and what we got out of it was, first and foremost, an amazing TV show. 

'The audience reception we’ve had has been absolutely incredible, and it has resonated with so many people. 

'But we can also look back and think, ‘we’ve captured that moment’. 

'We’ve really got that documented and in such a beautiful way that we will have forever. And the fact that people have enjoyed watching it is just the biggest of bonuses.'

Back in April Kevin shared a heartbreaking loss live on Lorraine after a 'traumatic experience' with his wife Liz at their family farm.  

The pair 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 lambs in the difficult birth.

Fletchers’ Family Farm airs on ITV1 and is available to stream on ITVX.
