PREGNANT Belle Dingle is left horrified as husband Tom King makes his sickest attack yet in Emmerdale.
The start of married life hasn't gone to plan for Belle, after her new husband became physically abusive following weeks of coercive control.
Tom forced Belle's hand under a scolding hot tap a few weeks ago when he discovered she was secretly still taking her contraceptive pill.
He had forced her into agreeing to try for a baby despite her protests that she wasn't ready, and was furious when he discovered she had gone behind his back.
Days later, he punched her in the stomach during another tense exchange, before tampering with her mental health medication to make her believe she was forgetting to take them.
