Emmerdale spoilers: Charity knows Tom is abusing Belle

Next week’s Emmerdale spoilers reveal that Charity Dingle has finally realised Tom King is not the all-singing, all-dancing perfect husband he claims to be. Her suspicions lead her to push Belle into revealing the truth, but Belle snaps – and hits out at the wrong person.

Afraid of her husband and a shell of herself, Belle stands her ground and rejects any offers of help.

As the other Dingle women start to suspect Charity is the one with the problem, can she make them see it’s not her, it’s him?

Emmerdale spoilers: Charity spots the signs

After Belle is tricked into leaving Tom, she soon feels under pressure by Charity, Chas, Mandy and Lydia. They bombard her with questions over her relationship with Tom. Charity is particularly ferocious and pushes Belle to be honest.

However, the overwhelming line of questioning only succeeds in angering Belle. She storms out, but Charity is nothing if not persistent and follows her.

Trying a different tack – one of kindness rather than aggression, which is new to Charity – she gently asks Belle to tell her the truth. It’s clear Belle is wavering as she tears up. However then her controller rears his ugly head.

Belle lashes out

Suddenly spotting Tom approaching Belle is thrown into a panic. It all-but confirms Charity’s suspicions Belle is afraid of her husband.

But Belle has shut down. She aggressively shoves Charity out of the way and rushes off home in a complete panic. Charity goes to follow her, but Tom won’t have it.

Charity is left fuming – and more suspicious than ever – as Tom stops her following Belle. He insists that his wife is struggling with her mental health and demands that Charity leave her alone.

Has Charity missed her chance?

Back at the Woolpack, the other Dingle women think that Charity might be overreacting. Charity is fuming and has to leave the room due to her frustration.

Worried she’s missed her chance to make them understand Belle is in serious trouble, can she find a way to make the family see it too?

Meanwhile, Tom is plotting once again. He wants Belle all to himself so he can exert complete control. The Dingles living in the same village makes that virtually impossible, so he sets about scheming to move him and Belle to a very, very isolated part of Wales.

Charity needs to step on it to save Belle in time. But can she do it?
