Emmerdale fans all have the same complaint as Tom King goes ‘beyond abuse’ on ITV show

Emmerdale viewers were left feeling “sick” after Tom King took his abuse to a whole new level

Emmerdale fans were left shocked during the latest episode as “creepy” Tom King escalated his abusive behaviour.

In Tuesday’s trip to the Dales (November 26), Belle, Tom’s estranged wife, tried to maintain her composure after learning that Tom, who is currently under investigation, was behaving as if nothing had occurred.

Belle was further upset when she found out that some of her village friends still supported him despite the abuse she suffered during their marriage.

Despite her family’s pleas for her to stay calm, Belle feared that the investigation might not proceed as smoothly as she had hoped and worried that the villain might escape justice for his terrible actions.

Later in the episode, upon learning that Belle had returned to the village after a stint in a mental health facility, Tom’s obsession intensified. He broke into Jacob’s Fold, where Belle was staying, and prowled around the house while Belle was upstairs taking a bath, reports Leeds Live.

Rummaging through her suitcase on the living room floor, Tom selected Belle’s blue jumper. He held it close to his face and deeply inhaled its scent.

When he thought Belle might be coming downstairs, he quickly hid with the blue jumper. Unaware of Tom’s presence in the house, Belle went to the suitcase to get a towel.

Later, Tom encountered Belle on Main Street and proceeded to verbally abuse her, claiming her attempts to bring him down would be unsuccessful.

Tom then gave Belle’s blue jumper to Amelia as a gift, a move that sparked outrage among fans, who took to social media platform X to express their disgust.

One viewer commented: “OMG, Tom stealing Belle’s top and encouraging Amelia to wear it reminded me of Nish abusing Suki in #EastEnders at the beginning. This is going beyond abuse now for Belle it’s turning into a creepy and sinister obsession. At least Tom gets charged this week.”

Another wrote: “Just finished watching tonight’s episode #Emmerdale. Tom you are a creep!! Can’t wait for him too get charged.” They added: “Nice too see belle back can’t wait for her too get justice soon.”

A third viewer posted: “Tom, you absolute creep.” A fourth fan chimed in, saying: “Nicking Belle’s top and giving it to Amelia so she can smell like Belle.”

Emmerdale airs weeknights at 7:30pm on ITV1.
