Kelvin Fletcher joins The Real Full Monty

Kelvin Fletcher has signed up for ‘The Real Full Monty’.
The 26-year-old actor – who portrayed Andy Sugden in ‘Emmerdale’ between 1996 and 2016 – will bare all as part of the male striptease group for the ITV show in a bid to raise awareness of prostate cancer.
A TV source told The Sun’s Bizarre TV column: "Bosses have chosen a very eclectic mix of stars."
The ITV show – which will embark on its third season – sees celebrities strip off on TV as they take part in a Full Monty-style dance routine.
The idea first began in 2017 in a bid to focus on helping charities such as Cancer Research, Everyman and Prostate Cancer UK.
Love Island’s Jack Fincham is also expected to take part in the striptease this year.
A source recently said: "Jack’s super excited to have bagged a spot on the cast, but he’s really nervous about getting his kit off.
"He indulged in a lot of food and booze over Christmas and on a recent holiday to Dubai so he’s enlisted the help of a personal trainer and to get him into the best shape possible.
"He’s also on a strict protein shake diet to help him lose a few pounds before filming starts in a few months.
"Dani’s really proud he’s doing it for a good cause and will be supporting him with a lot of the ‘Love Island’ crew on the night."
What’s more, former ‘Love Island’ star Megan Barton Hanson is said to have signed up for the female version, ‘The Real Full Monty: Ladies Night’.
A source recently said: "Megan is really excited about this show and can’t wait to show audiences a different side to her.
"It’s a new challenge but she’s no stranger to stripping off, so she will be showing a few of the other girls some tips and tricks.
"The night is for a fantastic cause and bosses are hoping it helps to raise a load of cash."
Last year’s line-up included TV presenter Jeff Brazier, rugby star Ugo Monye, TOWIE’s James Argent, The Wanted’s Tom Parker, former footballer John Hartson, chef Ainsley Harriott and former ‘EastEnders’ actor Johnny Partridge.
