Kim Tate (played by Claire King) set tongues wagging when she arrived in Emmerdale last October to reclaim Home Farm after nearly 20 years away from the village.
The villainous character was somewhat of a busy body, as she meddled with Joe Tate’s (Ned Porteous) life and destroyed Debbie Dingle’s (Charley Webb) wedding.
She also ruffled the feathers of most of the town’s residents and as a consequence was pushed off a balcony into a champagne glass fountain during her explosive masquerade ball.
After, the blonde beauty was arrested and sent to jail, leaving viewers wondering how long she would be gone for.
Now, actress Claire, 56, has revealed her on-screen persona is returning to the hit ITV drama series later this year.
Kim will be back on screen between the end of February and the beginning of March.
Claire confirmed her comeback on Twitter after a fan asked her when she would be reprising the role.
Responding, she said: “On screen end Feb/beginning of March.”
She added: “I’m back filming in Jan!”
