Emmerdale star takes well-earned break as ending nears on Tom King story
Eden Taylor-Draper is taking a well-earned break amid her intense storyline in Emmerdale.
Eden plays Belle Dingle in the ITV soap, a character who has been physically and mentally abused by partner Tom King (James Chase) for the best part of a year.
While on a recent trip to Wales, things started to seriously change for Belle as Tom put her in danger time and time again. Desperate to escape her husband, Belle grabbed Piper the dog and ran from the Welsh cottage. She eventually managed to jump on a bus and make her way back to the Emmerdale village.
After this, Belle has slowly grown stronger and has stood up to Tom multiple times – and he’s hated every single second of it.
With this storyline drawing to a close, Eden has been given some time off from the soap. She recently revealed some updates from her holiday, confirming she has jetted off to Italy to enjoy sun, sea and relaxation.
On her Instagram, Eden shared multiple snaps of some incredible Italian views, enjoying wine, and small restaurants which no doubt serve up delicious food.
This coming week, Eden will take centre stage in an episode of Emmerdale that will focus on Belle’s future.
Belle will continue to stand her ground and push back at Tom but, when she is hit by a setback when making a Clare’s Law request, which can give access to a person’s history of violence or abuse, she is feeling more and more helpless.
This is coupled with her chilling realisation that Tom is still tracking and spying on her, before then discovering with a spine-tingling shock that he is getting close to Amelia Spencer (Daisy Campbell).
