Emmerdale star Emma Atkins has teased an upcoming moment in Tom King (James Chase) and Belle Dingle’s (Eden Taylor-Draper) abuse storyline.

‘I think the audience are going to be screaming at the TV when Charity finally gets to have her moment with Belle’.

In the episode of the ITV soap being broadcasted on Wednesday, July 3 – but is currently available to view on ITVX – Tom attended a zoom call for a job interview.

The lady explained to Tom that if he was to be offered this new vet role, it would require moving to a very remote part of Wales.
