Strictly Come Dancing winner Kelvin Fletcher has been branded “selfish” after he posted a video of himself joking around his wife while she was driving.
The former Emmerdale star shared a clip on Instagram that showed him playfully bopping his wife Liz Marsland with a small toy boxing glove in a variety of settings.
Kelvin was seen poking her in the face with the toy as they walked down the street and around the shops, but it was one clip when they were driving, with Liz behind the wheel, that caused a stir.
The video, obtained by The Sun, has since been deleted.
Liz, who shares kids Marnie and Milo with Kelvin, was seen looking around towards her husband and pulling a shocked expression before she carried on driving.
The video was slammed by road safety charity Brake.
A spokesperson told the newspaper: “Even a moment’s distraction from the road ahead can result in catastrophe.
“Passengers must do all they can to allow a driver’s concentration to remain on the road and certainly never purposefully cause a distraction.
“Such behaviour, as shown in this video, is selfish and dangerous.”
Mirror Online has contacted Kelvin’s representatives for comment.
Kelvin, who played Andy Sugden on the ITV soap, recently addressed rumours he was set for a return.
Rumours began circulating after he was reportedly pictured on the set.
He said on Loose Women: “It’s news to me if I am, I was only there to film a little interview.
“So no, I have no plans to go back, I was there to film an interview.”
Kelvin also revealed he had auditioned for Strictly three times before eventually landing a place on the show and going on to win alongside Oti Mabuse last year.
He said: “As an actor you are very used to rejection, but I always change it to redirection, I was redirected an awful lot.
