Tom has been steadily increasing his control and abuse of new wife Belle Dingle, and on Tuesday, he turned violent.

Tom – played by James Chase – forced his wife’s hand under a scolding hot tap at the end of the special dinner party episode.

But during last night’s Emmerdale, he showed no remorse for his actions and even twisted things around to make himself the victim and Belle the one in the wrong.

He insisted she had caught her hand under the tap and that she was wrongly accusing him of trying to hurt her.

Referring to his discovery that Belle was still taking her contraceptive pill despite agreeing to try for a baby, he said: “We were having words about something incredibly insensitive and selfish you did.

“I didn’t even know your hand was under the tap! I don’t know what you think happened, but your hand was there for a second, less than a second.

“I’m sorry but this shouldn’t distract from the real issue… I still don’t understand why you think you had to lie, actually trick me.”

However, his twisted actions have left Emmerdale fans furious, and baying for his blood.

Taking to X – formerly Twitter – one raged: “One of the Dingles needs to shoot the s*** outta Tom!

“Only place I wanna see him is in a body bag! Hell! Belle can stop taking her meds for a few days and do it. He gotta go!”

Another added: “I can’t wait for this p***k Tom to be killed off on Emmerdale. He’s ruining my evenings.”

A third tweeted: “Tom burnt belle and hasn’t even said sorry he’s so disgusting, can’t wait for the dingles to find out and make him suffer for what that monster is putting our belle through.”

Meanwhile a fourth shared: “When is Tom going to be exposed!! I’m getting so frustrated with this storyline.”

Emmerdale airs on ITV1 and is available on ITVX.
