Kayleigh Gibbs was a friend of Victoria Sugden.

Martin finds out that Louise once killed a man, and decides he cannot stay with her, so he and Kayleigh move out. He does not tell Kayleigh the real reason why he has left Louise, and months later, she returns and asks Louise why they split up. Louise lies and says things just did not work out and Kayleigh, not believing her, says she never wants to see her again.

Although she no longer lives in the village, Kayleigh is still friends with Victoria and appears with her. Together they have sneaked into clubs, and egged the post office, causing a pregnant Viv Hope to collapse.

After Hannah told her parents what had been going on, they confronted Victoria, believing her to be just as involved as Kayleigh. Victoria promised that she would ask Kayleigh to lay off Hannah. However, the following day, she came home from school covered in cuts and bruises having got into a fight with Kayleigh. Victoria ended her friendship with Kayleigh and she hasn't been seen since.
