In a new post on Instagram, Kimberley showed off her deeply bruised arm in a close-up photo.
She appeared to insinuate that she had locked herself out of her home as she made reference to having to “break in to” her own house after being too cautious to splash out on a locksmith.
Writing alongside the image, the actress said: “My arm after attempting to break into my own home cuz I am too tight to pay for a locksmith.”
Kimberley did not expand any further on the turn of events that led to her getting a bruised arm
Kimberley rose to fame through playing the sex worker on the ITV soap opera in 2020.
She first joined to play an escort that Daniel Osbourne became infatuated with dressing up as his dead wife Sinead.
The star left the soap after only a few months but went on to return for another months-long stint two years later in 2022.
After a further two years off the cobbles, Kimberley was back again earlier this year after becoming tied to the Lauren Bolton storyline.
She appeared in a handful of episodes trying to ask young sex workers if they knew of Lauren and her whereabouts after it was revealed that the 18-year-old had been uploading to an OnlyFans style site before she was of age.
She splashed out on a £300-a-night retreat to mark her birthday and her second big Corrie return.
Kimberley has also taken part in Celebs Go Dating away from the world of soap.
Darkest soap storylines
Over the years the likes of EastEnders, Emmerdale and Coronation Street have all tried to try outdo each other with their outlandish plots in a bid to keep us tuning in each week. But here are some of the darkest that had fans in shock…
EastEnders: Tony grooming Whitney (2008-2009) – Tony King first appeared in Albert Square in 2008 as the boyfriend of Bianca, played by Patsy Palmer. But it was quickly revealed he was a paedophile who had been grooming vulnerable Whitney, Bianca’s adopted stepdaughter from a previous relationship, since she was 12. The shocking storyline attracted more than 200 complaints within a week of it beginning. Whitney waited until her 16th birthday to reveal the truth to a horrified Bianca, who called the police.
Emmerdale: Holly’s drug addiction and shock death (2010-2016) – In 2010, Holly Barton (played by Sophie Powles) became Emmerdale’s first teenage drug addict. The shocking storyline saw her taking cocaine on a night out before developing a deadly heroin habit. Parents John and Moira desperately tried to help get their daughter clean but when Holly returned in 2016, following a four-year absence, she quickly relapsed. Fans were left stunned and heartbroken when distraught Moira found Holly dead in her bed from a heroin overdose.
Hollyoaks: Luke’s rape (2000) – Actor Gary Lucy was just 17 when he took on this groundbreaking storyline, which saw his character Luke Morgan become soap’s first male rape victim. Luke had endured a long-running bullying campaign by football rival Mark Gibbs – who raped him after Luke stood up to him. Luke was left suicidal following the brutal attack, before opening up to his brother Adam. Gibbs was sentenced to eight years in prison. Gary won the Best Actor gong at the British Soap Awards in 2000 for his performance.
Coronation Street: Evil Richard Hillman (2001-2003) – Just a mere mention of ‘Richard Hillman’ is enough to send a shiver down the spines of soap fans. He is often ranked one of the most evil soap villains and it’s not hard to see why. The smooth-talking financial adviser bashed his ex-wife Patricia over the head with a shovel. In a bid to keep his mother-in-law Audrey quiet, he set fire to her house. And when Maxine caught him trying to murder Emily Bishop, he took a crowbar to her head. He made his exit from the cobbles in 2003 when he drove Gail Platt, played by Helen Worth, and her family into the canal. They survived, but he didn’t.
