Emmerdale fans are intrigued as to who Kim Tate’s new man is and think they’ve ‘worked out’ the guy’s identity.

Kim was seen telling Lydia all about the new guy she’d met at the races, clearly smitten.

We know limited info about him at the moment, but the little info we do know has been enough for fans to ‘figure out’ who is messaging her. And, if true, it would be a devastating reveal.

Kim Tate’s new love interest

Over the past week, Kim Tate has been smiling and blushing down at her phone over some messages she’s been receiving. It turns out she’s got a new guy on the go. Good for Kim!

With her mate Lydia back last night (Monday, June 30), Kim was particularly smiley. And so were we after finally seeing Lydia back on our screens after months away.

Kim then updated Lydia Dingle on her new guy. It was early days but she’d met this guy – Eddie – while at the races.

‘Grinning into her phone like a teenager,’ Kim then shared that Eddie is a cosmetic surgeon. His wife died although he hadn’t told her much about her. But, Kim hadn’t shared much about Will either. Probably for the best.

But now fans are wondering why Eddie is such a ‘private man…’ Seemingly putting two and two together, fans now reckon they’ve figured out who Eddie is. And we might’ve just met the surgeon before.

Emmerdale fans predict Kim Tate’s new man identity as Dr Crowley

Kim Tate can never be happy can she? Well, if fans are right about this guy’s identity, only trouble looks set to come out of this one.

Remembering a surgeon who is connected with the Tates, fans now think that Dr Crowley could be Kim’s new man. And, with spoilers revealing that Crowley’s after revenge on Joe Tate next week, could he just be using Kim as part of his plan?

One fan on X wrote: “I think maybe Kim’s new man could be Dr Crowley.”

Another replied: “I have seen this theory elsewhere. It would make sense since Kim said her new man is a surgeon.”

And a third person continued: “Did we ever get Dr Crowley’s first name? Could Eddie be him?”
