KIM Tate is going to clash with Charity Dingle when she returns to the village this week.

The archetypal soap superbitch will come face to face with the only character to come close to her over the years when she blasts back into Home Farm.

Charity will be left reeling when Kim makes her presence felt and her feelings clear on her grandson's relationship with Debbie Dingle.

Spoiler pictures show the moment Charity has to be held back when Kim - played by Claire King, 55 - unleashes her acid tongue on her and targets her children.

Viciously telling Charity how she "doesn't take orders from an ex-prostitute" Kim wastes no time in putting the other villagers in their place.

But when she turns to Charity's son Noah, it's too much for Charity to stand.

Kim tells him: "You’re half Dingle and with Chris Tate as a father let’s just say the odds were severely stacked against you."

Charity launches at her and tells her she better watch her back.

Unfortunately for Charity she does this in front of several witnesses and so later in the week when Kim is attacked she will be prime suspect.

Kim will be pushed through a balcony railing and land on top of a table full of champagne.

She will be left fighting for her life the same day she finally returned home from the village.

But did Charity do it, or was it someone else with a grudge?

The soap has lined up countless suspects all with motive to harm Kim.

The explosive truth will be revealed in Emmerdale this week.
