Emmerdale spoilers have teased Amelia Spencer has a dark plan for Belle Dingle, as the ITV soap is set to air a terrifying showdown for Belle and her ex Tom King

Emmerdale’s Amelia Spencer could be tricked into endangering Belle Dingle’s life next week on the ITV soap.

The character is under Tom King’s spell ahead of a terrifying showdown for him and ex Belle next week. Spoilers have revealed Belle is left fearing for her safety as Tom lets himself into her home and blocks her from leaving.

But has Amelia made an unforgivable and dangerous decision to help Tom over Belle, leaving her in peril? After months of coercive control and violence at the hands of Tom, Belle ended their marriage recently.

She’s only just told her family and those in the village what she endured, with Tom now in hiding. Some residents believe he is innocent, including Amelia who believes she and Tom are an item.

Tom told her he wanted to make things official with her after they began ‘seeing each other’, while he is only using her to target Belle. He’s had her keeping an eye on Belle, with her trying to convince the village Belle has lied and Tom is innocent.

But next week she might make the worst mistake possible, amid fears a character could be rushed to hospital. As Belle considers reporting Tom’s abuse and spying to the police, Amelia claims she wants to speak to Belle about Tom.

Belle agrees to speak with Amelia, only for Tom to let himself in. As he blocks her exit and proceeds to lock the doors, will someone come to Belle’s rescue?

It isn’t clear if Amelia has set Belle up in sickening scenes, but her involvement with Tom is also exposed next week. Her lies about not knowing where Tom is are rumbled by Kerry Wyatt, but will they manage to help Belle?

Emmerdale airs weeknights at 7:30pm on ITV1 and ITVX, with an hour-long episode on Thursdays.
