Emmerdale's Tom King star reveals off-screen life and special moments on set
Emmerdale's villain Tom King, portrayed by actor James Chase, has been at the centre of a gripping coercive control storyline involving Belle Dingle, played by Eden Taylor-Draper. The ITV soap is set to broadcast a special hour-long episode this Thursday, delving into the domestic abuse Belle endures from her malevolent spouse Tom.
Off-screen, however, James Chase is a world apart from his on-screen persona. The actor recently took to Instagram to offer fans a glimpse into his personal life beyond the drama of Emmerdale.
In a recent post, he shared a series of behind-the-scenes photos from an intense episode featuring Tom and Belle that aired earlier in the year. Fans will remember the chilling scenes where Tom escalated his controlling behaviour, secluding Belle in a remote Welsh cottage, from which she eventually managed to flee with her dog Piper.
