On Christmas Day there's a miracle for Belle Dingle in Emmerdale (ITV, 6.30pm, see our TV Guide for full listings)!

Belle Dingle has had a terrible year, the worst. 

Her marriage to Tom King became a living nightmare as he abused, attacked and controlled her. Her dad Zak passed away. Her mental health was pushed to the brink, her family and friends were kept at bay, her beloved dog Piper died.

But with Tom having been collared by the police, she's going to be able to breathe freely and piece her life back together.

On Christmas Day, she's given a huge injection of joy – which could really help her on her way back to happiness – when she's reunited with Piper!
