Emmerdale Belle's pregnancy 'rumbled' as horrified fans beg bosses 'give her a break'

Emmerdale's Belle Dingle could be set for a shock pregnancy. 

This year, soap favourite Belle (Eden Taylor-Droper) has been at the centre of a gripping domestic abuse storyline with her new husband Tom (James Chase).

His reign of terror escalated when he discovered she had terminated their unborn child. Belle initially deceived Tom by claiming she had suffered a miscarriage, but eventually found out leaving him enraged.

Recently, the pair, and Belle’s dog, Piper, left the Emmerdale village to stop at a cottage in Wales - where Tom was secretly planning to move permanently.

Their sudden exit sparked worry with Belle’s family, who after finding the address, tracked Belle down and headed to the mystery cottage. However, while there, they made a startling discovery.

Arriving at the Welsh holiday property they found blood streaked across a door. And Wednesday’s episode (July 24) revealed what exactly happened - with flashback scenes from Tom and Belle's arrival at the cottage.

Over the course of several days, Tom abused and gaslighted Belle - until she managed to escape. In scenes that had viewers glued to their screen, Tom chased Belle across the Welsh countryside.

Luckily, she managed to flag down a bus and boarded it, leaving Tom behind. However, despite her managing to get away from Tom, fans fear another pregnancy could be on the cards for Belle.

Over on a Facebook fan page, one person said: “Bell will now find out she is pregnant again!!” Someone else agreed and wrote: “Noooo - but suspect you are right!”

A third chimed in and penned: “I was thinking this as well, there’s nothing Tom wouldn’t do at this point.” Another proclaimed: “Oh god I hope not give her a break please.”
