EMMERDALE star Kelvin Fletcher has been dad-shamed after he shared a video of his young children driving a car on their farm.

The 38-year-old actor has swapped urban life for the countryside after buying a farm in the Peak District with his wife Liz.

And in a new video, Kelvin shared a video of his kids, five-year-old daughter Marnie and three-year-old son Milo, driving a 4×4 over their snowy fields.

The kids could be seen waving for the camera in the video, as Kelvin wrote: “A different kind of homework.”

Both kids had a go at driving the car across the field, leaving fans in shock.

One person wrote: “Not sure I'm comfortable with that 😮,” while another said: “Not a good idea. No seat belts.”

A third added: “Not sure. Very dangerous not a good idea,” and a fourth added: “Not sure if that’s a good thing or not ??”

Despite the backlash, others commented that they used to do the same growing up and coined it as “great fun.”

It would appear Kelvin isn’t breaking a law by letting his children drive the car as there are no restrictions for minors driving a car on private land.

The Strictly Come Dancing champion swapped urban life to start farming in the countryside back in 2020.

Their 120-acre farm has an 18th-Century cottage, outbuildings, 20 sheep, three pigs and three alpacas.

In an interview with the Radio Times, Kelvin said it was a "big step", but they were ready to "embrace something new".

He added: "Often life is a case of always being on to the next thing, and I guess lockdown was a real pause when you couldn't help but be present and reflect.

"Sometimes I do wonder whether we've taken on too much.

"But I can't imagine us not doing this now. It's ignited something inside me, and I love it."
