Emmerdale spoilers: Charity learns the truth about Tom

Emmerdalesuspect Charity Dingle spotted signs of abuse in Monday’s episode (ITV, 7.30pm – subject to change due to football), see our TV guide for complete listings).

No stranger to toxic relationships and abusive situations, Charity Dingle began to notice signs that something was wrong with Belle.

The once bubbly Dingle has become increasingly withdrawn, but until now, none of her family knows why, that her husband Tom controls her, abuses her and monitors her every move.

Taking her worries to Chas, Mandy and a worried Lydia, Charity organizes a girls’ night out in hopes of getting Belle to talk.

But the plan backfires when the women’s questions overwhelm Belle, who rushes out.

Following her, Charity finds Belle outside, crying. Trying again to get her to talk, Charity gently urges her to open up and share her problems.

Belle is about to speak when she notices Tom coming and pushing Charity.

To Charity’s astonishment, Tom then turns on her and acidly warns her to stay away from his wife.

Back at the girls, Charity tells them what happened, convinced that Tom’s meanness is a huge red flag. But to her frustration, no one else agrees with her.

Will Charity continue to follow her hunch? We’d better hope that at Dale Head, Tom is looking for a new job in a remote Welsh village…

Can Charity stop Tom taking Belle from Emmerdale?

Emmerdale continues weekly from 19.30 on ITV see our TV guide for complete listings. Weekday episodes are subject to scheduling changes due to football.
