CLAIRE King has signed a new Emmerdale contract, The Sun Online can exclusively reveal. The actress - who plays iconic superbitch Kim Tate in the ITV soap - made a shock return to the show in 2017 and has now extended the scheming millionaire’s reign of terror for another year.
A source said: “Claire’s comeback has been a huge success so it’s a no brainer to keep her around. “She’s loving playing Kim and there’s exciting stuff coming up for her.” The new deal means Kim can be crossed off the list of potential murder victims after ITV soap boss John Whiston accidentally revealed a shock crime was coming.
However it doesn’t mean Kim can’t be responsible for the murder. Speaking in a live television interview last week, John revealed the soap.
