ITV Emmerdale fans rumble Tom King’s ‘mistake’ in Belle abuse that could lead to shock death

Emmerdale’s Tom King could face serious danger once his cruel actions towards wife Belle Dingle are exposed.

Viewers are convinced the character will be punished for his abuse and controlling behaviour towards Belle, which is going to escalate. But a crucial mistake on Tom’s part could see him killed off when his actions eventually come to light to Belle’s family.

The characters reunited last year after Tom’s return to the village, while they had dated as teens. Since then there have been some worrying moments, with Tom being cruel to Belle before they rushed their plans to marry.

Belle had had second thoughts about their wedding, but he guilt-tripped her into going ahead with things only for them to have a row, while his control and manipulation has heightened increasingly since then. Belle has clocked on to some of his behaviours but doesn’t seem to be aware of the full extent of what is happening.

From cruel taunts about her family, to making her doubt her career abilities amid her hopes to join forces with Suzy Merton, Tom is displaying several forms of trying to control Belle, as well as isolating her and reducing her self worth. But it’s this family he constantly mocks that could be his downfall.

Viewers were quick to point out that Belle is a Dingle, and she has some relatives you would not want to mess with. Some of the characters have a history of violence, prison time and even links to murders.

Tom’s own villainous father Carl King was murdered due to his ties with Chas Dingle after all. Some fans are convinced Belle’s turmoil will be exposed to her brother Cain Dingle and her nephew Aaron Dingle, both of whom are known for taking revenge on those who wrong them or their family.

So has Tom’s behaviour foreshadowed a gory end for him when his vile abuse gets found out? There’s every chance Cain, Aaron and the others will want justice for Belle and will take revenge, and this could see him killed off in scenes that mirror his father’s demise in 2012.

Taking to social media, one fan posted: “He forgets she’s a Dingle. He will be sorry,” as another said: “He will rue the day he messes with a Dingle he is just getting started it will only get worse.” A third fan commented: “Belle, tell Cain and Aaron what’s going on.”
