Claire King has a lot to celebrate at the moment. After turning 60 in January, the glamorous actress is getting ready to commemorate another milestone – the 50th anniversary of Emmerdale.
Bradford-born Claire first appeared in the soap in 1989, playing the deliciously devious Kim Tate for a decade before leaving to star in shows such as Bad Girls, Hollyoaks and Coronation Street.
She then returned to the part of Kim in 2018 and her feisty character now has a central role in the soap’s big anniversary storyline.
