Emmerdale viewers have been left predicting Tom King’s next move as they slammed his ‘delusional’ family members.

As viewers of the ITV soap will know, last week Belle hit Tom in the back with an axe in self defence. In Monday’s instalment of the show, Tom remained unconscious in hospital. When a police officer showed up to investigate the assault, Tom’s new girlfriend Amelia, and his uncle Jimmy, were quick to point the finger at Belle.

Amelia explained her belief that Belle’s claims about being abused by Tom are lies, while Jimmy fumed that ‘it doesn’t take a genius’ to work out that it must have been Belle who was responsible for hurting Tom.

After receiving this information, the police went to quiz Belle over her whereabouts at the time Tom was assaulted. Belle denied seeing Tom at all, while Lydia reassured cops that the family didn’t know anything about Tom’s attack, and that they were all just “glad he’s ok”.

Meanwhile at the hospital, Tom finally woke up and viewers were left on a cliffhanger as Jimmy asked him if he could remember who his attacker was. As the episode resumed, Tom was questioned by the police, but told them he couldn’t remember where he was going or the identity of the attacker.

With the police and his Uncle Jimmy both gone, Tom phoned Belle from the hospital, and threatened her. He said: “You can’t just ignore me, I want to see you. Come and visit me by 1pm tomorrow, don’t tell anyone or I’ll tell the police everything.”

As long as she tells everyone that she lied about the abuse #Emmerdale.”

@its0l_ added: “Great, now Tom, has something else to use over Belle #Emmerdale.”
