Emmerdale fans have been left with 'chills' after Belle finally turned to the police about Tom's abuse.

In the latest episode of the show, Belle received a threatening text from Tom demanding that she meet him at the hospital, after she had plunged an axe into his back in self-defence last week. There, he blackmailed her, demanding she drop any charges of domestic abuse against him in return for him not revealing it was her who injured him.

He said the police would believe him after his previous manipulation instead of her and so Belle agreed. He demanded that they seal the agreement with a kiss, to Belle's disgust.

When the police came to speak with him, he told them a false story about two men who had attempted to rob him.

However, Belle did go to the police and admitted attacking him as he had been abusing her for months.

@nciskxcy said: "“I’m a victim of domestic abuse” YES BELLE GO ON". @RhianReads1 added: "Omg gave me the chills watching Belle there".

@1stLadyHooligan said: "yes Belle! I was hoping Belle would double cross Tom & it's even better that she's doing it with the truth!"

Others predicted it would still be a difficult road for Belle, with @cassam101 saying: "I dont think the police believed Tom. Now he'll say he was protecting her."

@JFoxleyBrookesx added: "Oh Belle. I can't decide whether handing herself in was the right or wrong thing to do. God I hope she gets justice".
