Cupid’s arrows may fly but will a new love interest help Belle move on from Tom?

Who will be Belle’s Valentine – as she makes a shock announcement in Monday night’s episode.

As Valentine’s Day approaches, fans predict that Belle could have a new love interest as she prepares to divorce Tom. All day Belle has been in deep thought about her marriage anniversary but then suddenly becomes ‘giddy’ when gets back home.

Hanging her coat on the chair, Belle claims life would be easier as a lesbian after having lunch with Leyla and Suzie. After she exclaims this, Lydia laughs and then tells her that she is hiring a solicitor to get Tom out of her life, once and for all.

Although Lydia thought it was funny, Belle claiming she is a lesbian, fans think it could turn into something more serious and a new romance is on the cards for her.

But will it be with Suzie?

Fans noticed that she was much happier towards the end of the episode than the beginning, maybe it is a sign.
