Speaking on Thursday's This Morning, the 35-year-old explained how "gutting" it is having to miss special events, including a friend's wedding. While discussing the things he misses while being away from home including his family, he stated: "Not only [family] but your wider circle and friends, I've missed a friend's wedding recently and that's what's tough."

However, the dad-of-two is clearly keeping positive despite missing out on special occasions. "Like any gig you've got, for me especially, I've got to allow [myself] to be completely consumed by it and give it my best and I've loved it, it's been an amazing experience and one I don't want to end anytime soon."
And it's not just social events that he's having to miss out on, sadly for Kelvin he's spending his wedding anniversary away from his wife Liz, with whom he is celebrating four years of marriage on Thursday. "I think that's been the hardest thing to accept really being away from home. Today is my wedding anniversary and I'm not at home and it's gutting."

The couple tied the knot on 28 November 2015 in a day they shared exclusively with HELLO! magazine - and at the time, Kelvin said the wedding was a dream come true. "I knew I wanted to marry Liz the day I met her," he said. "Deep down I knew she was The One."
