EMMERDALE’S Tom King has violated wife Belle Dingle’s late mum’s ashes in vile scenes tonight.
The abusive vet – who is played by actor James Chase in the ITV soap – has been slowly exerting control over new wife Belle in a disturbing new storyline but tonight he took it to a new level.
In tonight’s episode Belle and Tom went to Marlon’s surprise birthday party but Belle was onto him sabotaging her first day at work.
As she questioned him he denied everything and tried to turn it around on her not trusting him.
Outside the party, Tom lashed out kicking the pot that holds Belle’s mum’s Lisa’s ashes.
The pot smashed against the pig pen and Lisa’s remains went everywhere leaving Belle devastated.
“It’s my mum,” said Belle. “Her ashes. She’s everywhere. Look at what you’ve done.”
Tom insisted: “I just kicked anything. I’m sorry. But if you’re going to keep your mum in some stupid place, you might want to put a sign up or something.”
A horrified Belle told him: “Or you could just not kick things to pieces.”
“That is not my fault,” he spat back.
Later they went back inside and Tom convinced Belle to take the blame and she claimed she had accidentally knocked it.
He then manipulated Sam into thinking Belle needed to go home but outside again Tom was even more vile.
He had a go at Belle for “rolling around in the mud” trying to pick up Lisa’s ashes.
And then he told her that the car would need to be valeted if she sat in it.
“Am I walking then?” she said as he told her: “Like how you put it on me. Alright. Fine.”
But as he got into the car his twisted manipulations meant Belle insisted on walking home.
