Emmerdale has confirmed Kim Tate's fate following worrying spoilers which teased a body bag at Home Farm.
Last week, the ITV soap revealed that a lifeless Kim (Claire King) would be found at Home Farm by her son Jamie – sparking fears for her future in the show.
As previously revealed, Jamie (Alexander Lincoln) walked into Home Farm to find police and a doctor with Kim, with a bag being unzipped for her body.

In an outlandish plan, Kim hired actors to pose as a police officer and a doctor in the hope of tricking her son Jamie, who has been spiking her brandy with diazepam for two months.
Kim's on-off lover Will Taylor (Dean Andrews) was also in on the plan, pretending to be arrested on suspicion of killing her after Jamie tried to frame him as the poisoner.
The truth was revealed to Emmerdale viewers as Will was seen sitting alone in a police car following his supposed arrest for drugging Kim.
Kim pulled up in a dark van and emerged dressed to the nines, congratulating herself on her complicated plan to fool Jamie.

Will commented: "What I still don't get is – why all this? You knew that Jamie was drugging you. Why hire actors and pretend to take pills?"
Kim replied: "I had to see how far he'd go. If he'd let an innocent man go down, just to get what he wants."
Will pointed out: "So he hates me. It's hardly news."
Kim added: "He hates me more. I needed to see how deeply that hatred runs. He watched me get sick, let me think I was ill. The whole time he just carried on making me worse.
"I'm going to watch him celebrating, enjoying my death. Then I'll come back and I'll destroy him."
