Emmerdale fans have voiced their disapproval after ITV soap bosses issued an update this weekend.

Viewers will know that Belle King has been suffering at the hands of her new husband Tom. A jealous Tom has even gone as far as to target Belle's friend, Vinny Dingle, leaving him covered in bruises after a violent attack.

Vinny was knocked unconscious, and unable to identify his attacker once he woke up in the hospital.
