Poor Kelvin Fletcher thought he was being pranked by antanddec StrictlyComeDancing
The former Emmerdale star is now partnered with Oti Mabuse September 20, 2019 - 13:03 BST Jenni McKnight Kelvin Fletcher has revealed that he never expected a phone call from Strictly Come Dancing bosses because he wasn't on the replacement list of celebs. The former Emmerdale star admitted it was a huge shock to be asked to step in for injured Jamie Laing, and he thought at any moment it would be revealed that he was being pranked by Ant and Dec.
Speaking to Mark Wright on his Heart FM show, which will air on Saturday, Kelvin said of being asked to join Strictly: "I wasn’t expecting it at all. I wasn’t on a replacement list, I wasn’t on any list so I was completely, completely out of the blue. Even when we started on the Thursday I got rushed down there, met the producers, had a medical, and I kept saying to them ‘I feel like Ant and Dec are gonna jump out with a film crew’.

He continued: "You know, I was absolutely delighted. I was ecstatic. My family were really, really excited but it’s on the back of someone else’s misfortune.
He added: "So even a week into rehearsals, even though it was tough and it was very, you know… I haven’t done any dancing before, so it was all very new and very exposing I guess. You know you feel quite vulnerable but even then I got a sense of that enjoyment, and that sense of family and what an exciting time it could be and a great journey. I know people use that word all the time but it does kind of feel like a journey already.
