Emmerdale villain Tom King targeted Belle Dingle once more on Tuesday night, and now fans think they know his sick next move.

Belle was shown struggling with recent events on Tuesday, amid concern for her mental health. After months of abuse at the hands of her husband Tom, Belle left him but her ordeal continued.

After he tormented her and tried to make everyone including Belle think that she was having a breakdown, he even spied on her and pretended to kill her dog. With a handful of villagers still backing Tom, Belle is trying to prove the abuse.

But after she attacked him with an axe after he tried to kill her, she found herself facing trouble with the law. In the latest episode she broke her bail conditions by visiting Tom to warn him away.

Following the sad death of her father Zak Dingle, someone sent Belle roses. Belle was adamant it was Tom who had done this, and that he was trying to get to her.

As grieving Belle confronted him he taunted her once more, leading to her shoving the flowers at him. Soon we saw Belle sobbing at her father’s graveside, and sick Tom made his next move.

As he watched Belle grieving from afar, he called the police and notified them that she had broken her bail conditions. He smirked, knowing he was about to get her in trouble

Whether his plan works remains to be seen with fans branding him “sick”. One fan posted on X: “TOM IS A SICKO!” as another commented: “Tom you horrible person how could you do that when Belle was beside her dad’s grave.”

But some fans are already thinking about what he might do next, amid his plan to torment her and make her seem unstable. In the episode Belle’s family were talking about Zak’s belongings, sorting through them after his death.

With Belle clearly struggling with her dad’s passing and also seen annoyed at her brother Sam for wearing his cardigan, some fans think Tom might use her grief to target her. In a sickening theory, one viewer couldn’t help but wonder if there was a reason we were seeing Zak’s items.

Might Tom use them to get to Belle and really mess with her head? One fan theorised: “With all of Zaks stuff returning and Halloween approaching, I can see Tom dressing up as him to spook Belle.”
