Emmerdale’s Claire King says 50th stunt ‘nearly finished her off’ as she teases Kim death

Emmerdale star Claire King has discussed the ITV soap's explosive 50th stunt scenes on Sunday night as she teased her character Kim Tate's fate.

During the milestone hour-long episode, Kim and Harriet Finch were caught in a quad bike explosion during the village's storm with the episode ending with both of them lifeless on the floor.

It remains to be seen whether they survive the explosion and Kim star Claire, 60, has teased her character's fate on the hit ITV soap.

Talking to OK! and press recently, the legendary actress said: "Never mind the end for Kim. It nearly finished me off all of that, being thrown around in the woods in all that dirt and things. I’m too old for that. It was quite a test actually."

Claire continued: "It was a very hot day if you remember and it's supposed to be October, so I have all these layers on and clothes, so it was rather sweaty.

"It was also very dirty and dry in the woods, so after [filming] I was on antibiotics for about a week because my nose and eye all swelled up.

"I blew my nose about a week after I finished my course and a great big seed pod came out, and it had got infected so it must have blown up with all those wind machines, it was somewhat traumatic."

However, Claire added: "We did manage to have bit of a laugh, Katherine [Dow Blyton, who plays Harriet] and I!"


Teasing whether Kim and Harriet will survive the explosion, she continued: "If she [Harriet] doesn't [pull through], I guess Will is not going to be too happy because they had this little bit of a 'I love you' thing going on.

"Kim does suspect that there's something going on between Harriet and Will so I think Will could possibly blame Kim for whatever happens to Harriet, but also I'd like to say that I had a lovely time in Spain so it might be Kim that goes!"
