Eden Taylor-Draper updated her fans on social media as she took some time out from the ITV soap
Emmerdale star Eden Taylor-Draper took to her Instagram as she holidayed away from the Dales, with ex co-star Daisy Campbell showing her support.
At the age of eight-years-old, Eden joined the cast of Emmerdale to take on the role of Belle Dingle in 2005. She took over from the previous portrayer, Emily Mather.
When she first joined the show she won the British Soap Award for best young actor in 2007 and won it again in 2013. After playing the role for two decades now, Eden has tackled some big storylines including her most recent one that saw Belle Dingle become a victim as husband Tom King ran a vicious campaign of abuse against her.
Tom alienated Belle from her loved ones as he made her question everything she thought she knew, while also living in fear thanks to his unpredictable and cruel behaviour.
He became physically violent on a few occasions including one scene where he ran her arm under scalding hot water after he found out she had been taking her birth control.

Tom also ended up chasing Belle as she ran from him, he hacked the door down with an axe and held her at gunpoint just to frighten her. The moment his back turned, she struck him with the axe which landed the villain in hospital.
After a long year, Belle received justice as the villain was sentenced to three years in prison after subjecting Belle to assault and coercive control in December.
Since then, Tom has appeared in another episode when Belle went to go and see him in prison as she promised him she would fight with everything she had left to get a divorce from him.
In recent episodes, she became concerned when she accused Jacob’s friend Rich of trying to spike her drink when Noah drank it instead and ended up in hospital.

Outside of the Dales, Eden has been enjoying a trip away in Italy as she’s regularly updated her 135,000 followers as she enjoys the sunshine. Posting a carousel of stunning snaps, Eden wrote: “48 hours in PT” and a second post she captioned using the pasta and wine emoji.
Daisy Campbell who played the role of Amelia Spencer before leaving this year, commented: “Beautiful Eden” and a second comment that read “Bliss”.
On-screen, Amelia and Belle didn’t get along after Tom pursued a relationship with Amelia while abusing Belle. Amelia decided to leave the village with her daughter for a fresh new start after Tom’s conviction.
