But the actress has been dealing with a heartbreaking family loss in private and took to Instagram to reveal she was attending her aunt's funeral.
Sharing a photo of the order of service, Kimberly wrote: ";Today we said a goodbye to my Auntie.
"Whilst she went on to say hello again to others."
Earlier this week, the actress gave away that she would be making a surprise comeback to Corrie.
More on Coronation Street
She dropped some hints on social media that she was back filming after she began following Corrie stars Vicky Myers, Callum Lill and Channique Sterling-Brown.
The actors, who play Ds Swain, Joel Deering and Dee-Dee Bailey, have never appeared on the soap with Kimberly before, meaning she must have met them while being back on set.
And it has since been confirmed that she will indeed be back on our screens soon.
While the details of her return plot are underwraps, it is believed it will be in connection to her character's pal, Daniel Osbourne (Rob Mallard)
