Emmerdale abuser Tom King is in a secret relationship as Belle Dingle fights to save his teen victim
AFTER Belle finally managed to break free from her abusive relationship with Tom, she is going to be horrified to discover that he has moved on to a new victim.
The woman has already been horribly shaken by the realisation that Tom mowed down her dog as a form of revenge for Belle escaping his clutches.
Piper actually survived the attack, but Tom made out that the furball died to traumatise Belle.
A cruel twist later revealed not only was Piper was still alive, but Tom gave the dog away to a couple.
After being left to believe her poor pooch was dead, Belle finally reported her ex husband to the police for all of his abuse.
But the poor woman has another shock coming in upcoming episodes.
When she finally confronts him about his horrific behaviour towards her at the Woolpack, she is taken aback to discover he has moved on to his next victim and is now dating young Amelia.
The teen mum shares that Tom has been her boyfriend for a couple of weeks, leaving Belle terrified for her.
She becomes determined to save Amelia from Tom’s clutches before her starts terrorising the teen like he did her.
When the twisted vet uses his secret key to Belle’s house to let himself in, she begs him to leave the girl alone.
The realisation that Tom has found another vulnerable person to abuse stops Belle in her tracks just as she started to play him at his own game.
After realising that he has access to her emails and some private pictures, Belle decides to get access to his tablet.
This would mean that she could blackmail him right back after he threatens to expose inappropriate images of her if she carries on pressing for a police investigation into his behaviour.
But once she realises he is now in a relationship with Amelia, Belle is left shaken and disturbed.
Will she be able to warn the teen before it’s too late?
And if she decides to finally open up about the way Tom abused her to the Dingle family, will they believe her?
Or have Tom’s gaslighting tactics convinced them that Belle is unstable and inventing stories?
