Like many other Albert Square residents, Kim Fox (played by Tameka Empson) is trying to make peace with Lola Pearce's tragic fate.

But in recent weeks, the fan favourite has had struggles of her own, particularly after crashing her car and endangering Denzel Danes.

Kim faced trial but prior to her court date, Denzel (Jaden Ladega) caught her in a panic attack and implored her to say something to his father, Howie.

Although she promised she'd take action, Kim kept her torment a secret from those closest to her.

However, in scenes airing next week on BBC One, she tries to mask her anxiety symptoms with great difficulty just as she and her sister Denise (Diane Parish) visit Lola (Danielle Harold).

Lola is thrilled as her friends and neighbours let her know they are thinking of her by staging a unique greeting in the Square.

Sadly, things go from bad to worse for the Kimfluencer as she's soon accosted by an online fan in the salon.
