Emmerdale Kim Tate star warns of 'nasty twist' ahead as soap future confirmed
Kim Tate star Claire King has revealed more about her soap future on Emmerdale. She has been a long-time character on the soap, involved in many big storylines, including Will's death and Caleb trying to overthrow Home Farm.
Most recently, she has been involved in a huge story with Dr Crowley. She had started dating a man called Eddie, before bringing him back to Home Farm to meet Dawn and Joe - with the latter soon realising it was the doctor who she was dating.
Now Claire has opened up about her future on the soap. Speaking about her character's empire, she said: "Caleb has always been a threat,t and Kim knows this in the back of her mind.
She did let him have a piece of land but she basically calls it a vegetable patch, so she's not too worried as far as the land is concerned!
"But if he sides with Moira as a half-Dingle, half-Tate – which he will do, as he'll do anything to go against Kim – then that could be dangerous and there will be gang warfare.
Kim also keeps going on about legacy and I keep saying to Laura Shaw, the show's producer: 'Is she dying?' Let's hope not!"
With the new romance, Kim has only just lost her husband Will Taylor - played by Dean Andrews. Speaking about her new romance with Eddie, she added: "I don't think Kim was particularly ready to move on – it's only been six months since Will died, but it just so happens that she met this chap at York races. He told her that he was a cosmetic surgeon.
"He's very handsome, charming, charismatic and he won't let her pay for anything, which makes a change for Kim!
"She's thinking this could be a relationship in the future. They've met up for a coffee a few times, although Kim was worried about telling Dawn about it and that made her doubt herself. The minute Kim finds out, it'll be more than his back he needs to watch out for! I mean that."
Claire also warned that there would be a nasty twist ahead. She said: "He's very bad and very nasty and he will go to any lengths to get Kim's money – and he kind of does. But there's always a twist."

Chris Hughes' baby plans with JoJo Siwa after sharing intimate details on love life
Former Love Island star Chris Hughes shared his baby plans with his singer girlfriend JoJo Siwa, whom he bonded with after they met on ITV's Celebrity Big Brother earlier this year Love Island star Chris Hughes revealed he'd 'love to have children' with JoJo Siwa as their relationship continues to grow after meeting on Celebrity Big Brother earlier this year. The TV personality, 32, said he and dancer JoJo, 22, discuss their future together, including marriage and children. The duo met each other on ITV's Celebrity Big Brother and immediately got along like a house on fire. She was dating Kath Ebbs at the time, but fans speculated about her connection with Chris as the two were inseparable in the house, with them massaging each other and napping in each other's beds. Not long after the show ended, the two revealed they started dating and have been sharing intimate details into their romance with fans online. In a new chat with US Weekly, Chris discussed his relationship with JoJo and said: "When you're besotted with each other and in love with someone I think it's fun to look forward to those things. "Of course I want to get married to her, I would never shy away from that. And one day I want to have children. We both come from extremely loving families and very wholesome families who care for you so it would be nice to reciprocate that going forward. One day I'd love to have children, it would be an absolute dream for sure." Chris recently revealed JoJo has given his testicles their own names. Speaking to E! News about what she calls the family jewels, he said: "She calls my balls Jimmy and Timmy." He (not so) smoothly went on to point out the pattern JoJo follows with nicknames. She previously said she wanted to call her future kids, Freddy, Eddy and Teddy. Chris, 32, said: "She must love the rhyming lingo within her life," before sharing his thoughts of his future children having rhyming names. "I don't know about those names. I have names that I like. I'm still kind of undecided on them." Meanwhile, Chris recently took to Instagram to share an update on his life, with the upload showing a telltale sign the duo's relationship is moving up the gear. Despite Chris living in the UK and JoJo, 22, being stateside, the pair are regular visitors to each other and showing they are making the long distance work. In his recent social media post, Chris shared an image of a framed photo in JoJo's family home which shows the pair lovingly embraced. The picture is sitting beside other photos of JoJo and her loved ones. In another, the reality star tagged his partner's mum, Jessalyn, in a post as the clan enjoyed a takeaway. Chris wrote in the caption: "Had the best few days. It's so beautiful here." And the note comes as speculation grows about whether Chris will make the move stateside permanent.

Tom Kerridge's 'easy' diet change that helped him lose 11 stone
Tom Kerridge is back on our screen in his new ITV series Tom Kerridge Cooks Spain Tom Kerridge, the celebrity chef, is back on telly this Thursday evening (July 24) with a brand new ITV series that takes him on a culinary journey through Spain. The 51-year-old embarks on a road trip in northern Spain to meet local food producers who share his passion for fresh ingredients and cooking. Throughout the programme, Tom delves into Spanish cuisine and culture, cooking up a feast using local produce and offering tips on how to recreate the dishes at home. He'll discover the link between Santona and anchovies, and meet the locals, including fishermen and women who keep the town's traditions alive. Away from the limelight, Tom has made significant changes to his health in recent years due to fears about his mortality. The Michelin-starred chef, known for tantalising the nation with delicious dishes on Saturday Kitchen and Great British Menu, has now revealed the secret behind his impressive weight loss, reports Devon Live. Alongside giving up alcohol and incorporating exercise into his daily routine, Tom experienced a remarkable transformation. He has shared that his diet included eating vegetables, tinned beans and eggs, as well as cutting out sugar to curb his snacking habits. "Over three years, I lost eleven stone and devised my own low-carb diet regime built around ingredients that are known to trigger the release of dopamine, the 'happy hormone' in your brain," Tom previously shared on his website. He continued: "If you're struggling with your weight and need to shift unhealthy pounds, this approach makes it easy, and is guaranteed to make you feel happier in the process." The life-altering transformation has prompted the celebrity chef to encourage families to dedicate more time to preparing nutritious home-cooked meals. Tom has pointed to his own remarkable 11-stone weight loss as motivation for others looking to drop the pounds, achieving his results through a straightforward dietary adjustment. The Gloucester-born chef, who previously admitted to beginning drinking sessions with a pint of Negroni cocktail before consuming 15 pints on an ordinary evening, chose to give up alcohol at 40 or risk not making it to 50. He told The Mirror in 2020: "I stopped drinking all by myself. I knew what I wanted to do and then I got on with it. It was all about mental strength. "I have an addictive personality. People ask me whether I'm an alcoholic, but I think it could have been anything, it's just that alcohol was the thing I found. Maybe I am an alcoholic, I don't know." Tom added: "Some days are really, really hard and some days are easy. Most of the time it's not relevant in my life. I channel all that old drinking energy into work now." Speaking recently to Lisa Snowdon and Andy Goldstein on the We're Not Getting Any Younger podcast, Tom looked back on his choice to quit drinking more than a decade ago due to health concerns. Offering a candid glimpse into his personal life, the 51 year old explained that his terror of perishing before reaching 50 prompted him to make the dramatic choice to give up booze entirely. He explained: "I'm absolutely loving the way that I'm living but I can't (carry on). It is going to end and it will all end really really badly, so I just stopped." Alongside his television fame, Tom has also built a thriving empire with his string of eateries.
