Belle Dingle finally cracks under the pressure of Tom’s manipulative control next week on Emmerdale. After confronting him about his controlling behaviour, viewers will see Tom twist the situation entirely during a doctor’s appointment with Liam.

However, Tom throws Belle under the bus, painting her as the one with anger issues and in control.

Meanwhile, Belle’s loved ones, Mandy and Lydia, grow increasingly concerned as she isolates herself.

Back home, Tom puts on a show for the Dingles, claiming his therapy session went well, leaving Belle hopeful for a change.

But Tom’s reign of terror continues. On the anniversary of Lisa’s death, he manipulates Belle into staying home for a parcel, preventing her from joining a memorial picnic with her family.

At the vets, sparks fly as Vanessa and Rhona prepare for Tom’s performance review. Tom, unable to handle criticism, lashes out after receiving negative feedback.

The final straw comes when Tom discovers Belle didn’t wait for his parcel. He explodes, blaming her for ruining the day and disrespecting Lisa.

Pushed to her limit, Belle finally snaps and shoves Tom in front of a stunned village.

Tune in next week to see the fallout!
