This has led EastEnders fans to worry they may not see anymore of the iconic character. But what happened to her?
What happened to Kim Fox in EastEnders?
Fourteen years have gone by since actress Tameka Empson first appeared in the BBC One soap, making her a favourite amongst fans.
While she has had her fair share of drama in the fictional London borough of Walford, Kim’s outspoken, bubbly and bold nature has never withered.
This meant that viewers were distraught to see her progressively lose her spark in the aftermath of her crash in the Argee Bhajee.
Kim crashed a brand new vehicle in the local place of worship after getting distracted by her sister Denise Fox’s phone – with Denzel Danes in the passenger seat.
Although this led to some explosive consequences within Denise’s marriage to Jack Branning, it most notably pushed Kim towards a tarnished criminal record.
The Fox & Hair beautician and influencer faced justice and, earlier this week, she was summoned back into court to find out if she’d be going to prison for her crash.
But when the prosecution recalled her actions as Kim was on the stand, she was haunted by flashes of her dreadful night and a panic attack got the best of her.
Denise protested in favour of her sister, telling the judge she was suffering an attack and needed peace and quiet, to no avail.
Kim Fox was dragged away to prison in front of a shocked Denise, a heartbroken Howie Danes and a vast number of horrified viewers.
During Thursday’s (July 6, 2023) trip to Walford, Denise and Jack tried to arrange a prison visit for Howie as a birthday present.
But Kim cancelled it, leaving her partner devastated to realise he was being pushed away.
