Some old pics are doing the rounds and we're not complaining tbh
Remember when Emmerdale star Kelvin Fletcher got his kit off for charity for the now-legendary All New Monty back in May?
And more specifically, when the INCREDIBLE pictures of him wearing a sock and LITERALLY NOTHING ELSE while getting a spray tan surfaced online?
Well, rejoice, because the glorious photographs are doing the rounds on social media once more.
Now that he's hot property on this year's Strictly (a gig which may or may or may not have been the result of his eye-popping performance in May), it makes sense that there's a renewed appetite for Kelv's finest career highlights.
Well renowned for being one of soapland’s hottest bad boys, Kelvin shared some behind the scenes snaps of himself preparing for his stripping debutby getting a spray tan – and came up with a very inventive way of avoiding those pesky tan lines by stuffing his manhood into a sock.
Kelvin showed off his – let’s face it, frankly god like bod – with a couple of mirror selfies which left fans begging for more.
“Kelvin Fletcher wearing nothing but a sock over his Kelvin Junior was worth my licence fee alone #AllNewMonty,” wrote one happy commenter.
Another said, “That was a big sock kelvin fletcher had over him for his spray tan the #newmonty bloody Nora.”
One more added, "Wow Kelvin, big sock!!"
We concur.

Kelvin played Andy Sugden on Emmerdale for two decades, from 1996 – 2016 and we watched him grow from a wee teen into bona fide TV totty.
On leaving the show in 2016, he told This Morning hosts Ruth Langsford and Eamonn Holmes, “My time came now. It’s a decision I have pondered on for about 18 months.

“About 12 months ago I made the decision to leave, with no discredit to the show – if anything it was because of their creativity which has given me a sense of confidence and I believed I could go on and do something else.
“Twenty years is a long time. It’s been an incredible twenty years. I am so grateful to Emmerdale. Throughout that period I have always had a real sense of fulfilment and purpose.
“What started out as a hobby at six years old – I was then able to do something like that every day on a professional platform on one of the country’s greatest shows. I have been extremely lucky.
“Looking back over 20 years it has been a rollercoaster and for me it’s give me passion to leave and continue."
