‘Whatever you’re thinking, think again!’ EastEnders’ Tameka Empson teases Kim’s ‘Beyoncé’ level wedding and Joshua Halm Published August 28, 2026 5:00pm Updated August 28, 2026 5:02pm To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Let’s be real, no EastEnders viewer ever thought Kim Fox’s wedding would be a quiet, low-key affair, did they? Speaking exclusively to Metro, Tameka Empson confirmed our suspicions: Kim will be going all out to make her wedding to Howie Danes (Delroy Atkinson) the spectacle of the century. It’s been the one bright spot in the seemingly endless torrent of misfortune plaguing the Fox-Trueman family recently, after Denise Fox’s (Diane Parish) cancer diagnosis and the return of Gray Atkins (Toby-Alexander Smith) who’d formulated a plot to kidnap Jordan Fox (Jahsaiah Williams). Despite the dark times the family have found themselves facing, Kim is determined to make her wedding fit for the Kimfluencer: ‘With this wedding – it’s like no other wedding – and she’s pulled out all the stops, it will be very memorable’ she teased. ‘I think that there will be some people next year who will try to recreate it as well. If this goes as far as Beyoncé, I think she will be very impressed! ‘It’s not just about cowboy Carter, do you know what I mean?! It’s the Kimfluencer!’ The wedding of the century?

It’s off screen.’ ‘But this, this time, I think, she’s definitely going to be the Queen of the day.

(Picture: BBC/Jack Barnes/Kieron McCarron) When we asked if the wedding will go ahead without a hitch, Tameka hit us with a dose of reality: ‘Has it ever been plain sailing?! ‘Even though it may not go according to plan, it’s still a great wedding. It’s gonna be warming of the heart. I’m hoping people might shed a tear of joy.’ And what about the future for Kim and Howie? ‘It’d be interesting to see how they have their first argument as a married couple. Just sharing that space. They live together, but when you put a ring on it, it’s very different. ‘It’s Albert Square, babe, it’s EastEnders, do you know what I mean?!’ We do, Tameka. We do. Kim and Howie are a fan favourite couple (Picture: BBC/Jack Barnes/Kieron McCarron) When asked what it is that makes Kim and Howie such a beloved couple, and, what will ultimately see them succeed, Tameka said: ‘It’s the love. ‘They support each other and they will each other to win. Howie allows Kim to be Kim. He doesn’t stop her. He just allows her. If you could think back to when he bought the camera equipment and things like that, you know, he supports her. ‘I think, you know, just as long as you work with me and not against me, that could be OK. So I think that’s what people are seeing: the genuine love and support.’ With all of the aforementioned issues facing her family, we asked Tameka how she thinks Kim can stay so positive. ‘She’s just got to do it,’ Tameka mused. ‘I think it’s that thing of you’ve got to dig deep, you can’t let anybody down. ‘She’s proven herself, not only her sister but to herself. When you’ve got so many different family members with different needs, somebody’s gotta do it.’ Deals of the Day The viral LED face mask with over 350 lights that's currently discounted by £100 A friend said I looked 'snatched' – I credit this new Charlotte Tilbury powder Shop MySweetSmile's biggest Bank Holiday offers before they end Back-to-school shopping just got a lot cheaper thanks to Primark The back-to-school essential parents forget every year – and it could cost them Arrow MORE: Who plays Darnell in EastEnders?
