Emmerdale star Karen Blick battles online imposter

She shared a screenshot of an imposter account, claiming to be her on Instagram. In the screenshotted message, Karen’s imposter wrote: “Hi, how are you. Do you mind if I add you to my new Instagram clothing line, cause I will be launching my own products by the end of next week.”

“This is not my account. I’m not bringing out a clothing range. Please do not accept any requests,” Karen wrote.

Disappointed Emmerdale fans joke about Lydia Dingle cleaning range

Fans reacted with shock in the comments. Many jokingly suggested that she could bring out a line of cleaning equipment and clothing – as her character, Lydia, is a cleaner on Emmerdale.

“Ooh aprons, dusters could be a good shout Karen,” laughed one fan.

“Oh I don’t know…. the Lydia Tunic would be a must for all cleaners,” said another.

Gutted, got all excited that we were going to be able to buy Lydia’s tabbards in multiple rainbow colours. Shattered my dreams!
