EMMERDALE star Claire King has called cancer “nature’s payback” in outspoken new remaks.
The 58-year-old actress, who plays Kim Tate, insisted the heartbreaking disease is linked to humans “mistreating” the planet.
She said it had been part of her life ever since Emmerdale co-star Leah Bracknell, died from lung cancer in 2019.
She told OK!: “Cancer hits one in two, which is just horrendous.
“I think that’s a lot to do with how we are treating the planet. We’ve mistreated the planet and this is nature’s payback.
“We’re not doing ourselves any good – says she who drinks and smokes – but we’ve all got to play our part in this and it becomes very poignant when you lose a good friend.”
Speaking of Leah, who played Zoe Tate, she sad sadly: “Unfortunately she’s not the first of my friends and she won’t be the last.”
Claire said she was rocked by the death but it taught her an important lesson about living each day to the full.
