ITV Emmerdale's Kim Tate star Claire King says soap 'almost finished her off' as she ended up on antibiotics after storm drama

Emmerdale legend Claire King has joked that the soap 'almost finished her off' after being thrust into the 50th-anniversary drama. The actress, who has played Kim Tate in the ITV soap on-and-off for 33 years, has found her place in the Dales at risk after a windstorm hit the beloved village.

On Sunday night (October 16), an hour-long edition of Emmerdale to mark the soap's five decades on air saw Kim as mighty as ever as she lorded around the village on her horse on her wedding day to Will Taylor. However, her grand nuptials came after she overheard her husband-to-be and his ex, Harriet Finch, sharing their true feelings for one another.

But not one to back down, Kim headed out for a horse ride but when she eyed Harriet from her horse, it was clear there was unfinished business. Meanwhile, at Home Farm, Billy was worried when Will informed him there may not be a wedding as he and Kim need to have it out if they're going to move forward.
