This came after Belle visited her ex husband Tom King (James Chase) in hospital.

He believed they had struck a deal between them not to say it was her who attacked him, and in return, she would say she lied about calling him an “abuser.”

Belle agreed to his wishes as she told him: “Okay, I’ll do what you want.”

However, Belle was later seen at a police station where she handed over the axe that she struck him and confessed: “I’ve attacked my husband, in self defence, he wanted to kill me. I’m a victim of domestic abuse.”

Will Belle finally start to get justice?

How will the rest of the Dingle family react to the shocking turn of events?

Also in last night’s episode, Mack was stressed to find the sheep have escaped and accused Moira who agreed not to go out alone.

Moira was adamant that it wasn’t her who left the gate open, but Mack failed to believe her.

Later, Isaac admitted that let the sheep out by accident, leaving Mack feeling guilty.

Meanwhile, Nicola tried to get to the bottom of what’s going on between Laurel and Charles.

When the truth came out that they slept together, Laurel was left torn when Nicola questioned why their fling was over.

Soon, Charles and Laurel discussed their fling and eventually decided that the responsible thing to do was call it a day.

Laurel prepared to give in her notice to the church as she confessed it’s too hard to be around him.

Can the passionate pair stay away from each other?

And Aaron was left intrigued when Mack suggested using John’s van to get rid of the smart-watches.

When John refused to let Aaron borrow his van, Aaron kicked his plan into motion by swiping the keys whilst John was distracted.

Will he regret his decision?
