Former Emmerdale star Kelvin Fletcher has been left in agony, the actor revealed on his social media accounts this week.
Kelvin, who played farmer Andy Sudgen on the soap, revealed a swollen face and puffed-up eye in a series of posts on Instagram.
The star’s injury comes as a result of an unfortunate encounter he had with a particularly vicious wasp. A sting from the insect left Kelvin‘s face reddened and swollen, causing the star much pain.
Emmerdale star Kelvin Fletcher reveals wasp sting agony
The saga of Kelvin’s wasp sting injury began earlier this week, when the actor revealed that he had been stung below his right eye while filming his family TV show Fletcher’s Family Farm.
In a post on his Instagram account on Thursday (June 29), Kelvin shared a picture of himself with a swollen purple right eye, captioned: “Wasp update: It’s a white wash!”
The actor then revealed an update to his war wound, with the eye looking slightly less puffed-up but still pretty painful. This one came with the caption: “It’s comedy now!”
We certainly wouldn’t be laughing if it had stung us, Kelvs!
