Kelvin and Liz Fletcher fought back tears during an emotional moment on Fletcher's Family Farm.

The famous couple not only shares the highs of running their Cheshire Farm, but also the heartbreaking moments. More recently, they faced the setback of losing their home to a fire, which was shown in the ITV series.

In a repeat episode of Fletcher's Family Farm, which is available to watch on ITVX, Kelvin and Liz were hit with some "bad news".

At the beginning of episode five from series one, he explained, "Sadly, it is not all good news on the farm this week."

"We have finally been hit with the chicken pox," Liz explained as she said all four of their kids had come down with the illness. "It has gone down the line, so it is delightful here at the minute."

She added, "So Kelvin is doing the farming stuff, and I am doing the children stuff. A few sleepless nights, but other than that, everyone is happy."

This wasn't the only thing the couple had to deal with, as their pigs were also expecting piglets and were due any day.

"We don't know what we are looking for," he explained to the camera. "But she looked swollen and restless."

He added, "Visibly, I could sense something, and lo and behold, this morning, she has given birth to four piggies. I am just gutted we missed it.

"Just to have seen them coming out, at what rate did they come out? Was it 10 minutes, was it all night? I just don't know. There are three more to go, so hopefully, we won't miss those."

Kelvin called his wife over to share the emotional news, and she said, in shock, "Oh my god, they are tiny."

The former soap star went on, "She has caught us by surprise, though."

As Kelvin checked on the mum, Liz admitted, "I feel really emotional, it sounds ridiculous, doesn't it?"

"It's one thing I'll never get over with farming, seeing things being born," she explained. "It is just the most beautiful thing."

Fletcher's Family Farm is available to watch on ITVX.
