Emmerdale's Belle King just can't take any more of Tom's abuse (ITV, 7.30pm, see our TV Guide for full listings).

Belle is in a reflective mood as the anniversary of her beloved mum Lisa's death rolls around.

As the family comes up with the idea to commemorate her with a picnic, Tom is in earshot and decides he doesn't want his wife attending.

Determined to keep her away from her loved ones, controlling Tom tells Belle he needs her to stay at home as he's expecting a delivery that needs signing for.

Thinking that's sorted, Tom trudges off to work where a dark mood descends as his work is reviewed.

The vet doesn't take his bosses' constructive criticism at all well. And as he is storming home, furious, his anger increases when he spots Belle in the Hide, clearly having defied his instructions to wait in at Dale Head.

As the couple walk home, Tom spews nasty comments at Belle, blaming her for his bad day. But when the vet then starts on her mum Lisa, Belle can't take any more. 

Snapping, she shoves her husband who falls to the ground, much to the shock of Rhona, Vanessa and Marlon who are nearby.
