AMELIA Spencer has been hiding a dark secret about Tom King in Emmerdale, but it is set to be exposed next week.
It was revealed earlier this month that Amelia (Daisy Campbell) is romantically involved with Tom King (James Chase) and that they’d been keeping their affair secret for weeks.
Amelia has been at the centre of drama in Emmerdale in recent weeks as her baby daddy Samson Dingle (Sam Hall) was sent to prison. The teen mum also broke up with her boyfriend Noah (Jack Downham) before announcing her new relationship with the villainous vet.
Over recent months, ITV viewers have watched as Tom has relentlessly bullied and abused his wife Belle Dingle (Eden Taylor-Draper), which culminated in the calculated attack on her beloved dog Piper.
Eventually Belle worked up the strength to leave her husband but he continued to manipulate her and keep tabs on her with hidden cameras.
When Tom went missing last week Belle hoped the ordeal was over, but it seems he’s not that far away.
After some digging, Amy (Elle Mulvaney) and Kerry (Laura Norton) both suspect that Amelia must still be in contact with Tom.
And that’s not all, as a dark secret about 18-year-old Amelia will be revealed next week – it seems she’s taken Tom’s side against Belle as the two make a plan together.
In scenes airing next week, Amelia will seek out Belle to talk about Tom, but the situation will take a terrifying turn.
After discovering the camera Tom hid in Dale Head, Belle considers reporting Tom to the police but she is afraid of having to relive everything she’s been through.
Having reflected, Belle asks Lydia Dingle (Karen Blick) to share her experience reporting rapist Craig Reed (Ben Addis) to the police.
Whilst Belle’s left thoughtful, Lydia’s upset after bringing the memories back to life, but hopes it has aided Belle.
That evening, the pair reflect on their difficult day as they gaze over the Dingle land.
United in their support for each other, Lydia hopes she’s said enough to encourage Belle to go to the police.
As she ponders what to do, it seems that Amelia has revised her opinion of Tom and may offer some additional information before she makes her choice.
The teen reaches out to Belle in the hope of meeting privately to talk about him.
But Amelia can’t be trusted in this regard as she is now under Tom’s influence.
