Emmerdale's Belle Dingle, portrayed by Eden Taylor-Draper, faced a major predicament after finding herself in handcuffs for breaching her bail terms.
The much-loved character from the popular ITV series has been enduring abuse from Tom King, played by James Chase, and it was only when the situation escalated that she confided in the authorities.
However, following an intense episode where she attacked Tom with an axe, Belle now faces an inquiry herself. Conditions of her release strictly required no contact between Belle and Tom, yet Belle transgressed these rules upon suspecting Tom was behind a mysterious delivery of roses after Zak's (Steve Halliwell) passing.
In a turn of events fuelled by frustration, Belle lashed out, tossing the roses at Tom, who then connivingly called the police on her for violating her bail.
