Claire King: Emmerdale's Kim Tate star speaks out on health reason behind filming delay

“I have arthritis, so my immune system is compromised, which makes you more at risk of catching the virus,” Claire explained.

“I’m not back at Emmerdale yet, so it’s a case of waiting to be written back in. “When I get a flare up, it’s not nice and it does make you feel very tired. If I’m on location in winter, the cold feels like it gets to your bones.”

The TV star commented that because she’s not “limping” people aren’t often aware of your health.

Claire continued: “Often people, don’t see it as an issue because you aren’t in a wheelchair or limping, but they look after me on the show and give me more indoor scenes during winter.”
