Emmerdale spoiler video shows terrified Belle getting the worst possible news

Up Next

Belle Dingle’s (Eden Taylor-Draper) happy life with Kammy Hadiq (Shebz Miah) is about to come to a halt in Emmerdale next week, as she receives news that Tom King (James Chase) is being released from prison.

In 2023, Tom arrived in the village and quickly connected with Belle which eventually led to them starting a relationship.

This was the start of an absolutely horrific ordeal for Belle. As part of a domestic abuse storyline, Tom exerted sinister, coercive control over the much-loved character.

From psychological abuse and cyber-stalking to harming the family pet, Piper, Tom’s actions left Belle terrified and isolated from her friends and family.

Tom’s behaviour led to him going to prison, but upcoming episodes of the ITV soap will see Belle learn that he’s being released early.

In this new video, all is well in Belle’s world. She’s chatting with Sam (James Hooton), Lydia Dingle (Karen Blick) and Kammy about Cain Dingle’s (Jeff Hordley) recent fishing trip.

As Kammy leaves for work, sorry, t’work, he opens the door to a Victim Liaison Officer. Lydia and Sam assume she’s arrived ahead of Samson Dingle’s (Sam Hall) release from prison, but the woman confirms she’s actually at Wishing Well to see Belle.

She reveals that Tom is getting out of prison and, obviously, the news leaves Belle absolutely terrified.

Reeling in the aftermath of the news, things get even worse for Belle when Charles Anderson (Kevin Mathurin) reveals that Tom has been speaking to him in his role as a prison chaplain.

Not only that, Charles reveals that Tom has accepted culpability and wants to seek Belle’s forgiveness.

Growing anxious, Belle can’t believe Tom’s already back in her head and he hasn’t even been released yet. With her mind racing, she decides to confront the issue by visiting Tom herself.

But how will Kammy and Cain feel about this?

Discussing his return to the show, James Chase said: ‘Stepping back into Tom’s shoes is a responsibility I don’t take lightly. He is a character driven by obsession and a desperate need for control, and it is both fascinating and challenging to step back into that mindset.

‘The audience knows exactly who he is and what he is capable of, so the challenge now is to show the lengths he is willing to go to in order to get what he wants, even if it means dismantling Belle’s life all over again. It’s a dark path, and I’m ready to see how far Tom will push it.’

Delta Goodrem broke down in tears watching tonight’s Strictly Come Dancing after being forced to miss Icons Week due to injury. 

The Australian pop star confirmed she wouldn’t be bale to compete on the show this week after sustaining a rib injury in training that’s already put her in hospital twice. 

Instead, she’s watching at home and weeped after hosts, Emma Willis, Johannes Radebe, and Josh Widdicombe paid tribute to the Lost Without You singer as they opened the show.

After introducing all of the contestants by the names of the icons they’d be impersonating, Emma explained Delta’s absence to viewers. 

She began: ‘Before we get started you might notice there is one couple missing. Sadly, Delta has suffered an injury and on the advice of the medical team will not be dancing this week under the rules of Strictly she receives a bye through to next week.’

And the former pro was spot on, as the former Neighbours actress was not only watching from home, she was in pieces as she watched the love in the studio for her. 

‘I love you too,’ she said, blowing a kiss to the trio of hosts in a video she captioned: ‘Thanks team. It’s been a rough week. Love you guys!’

Ahead of tonight’s performances, Delta shared another message with fans promising she is determined to recovery as swiftly as possible. 

She said: ‘Hello everybody! I just wanted to say hello before Strictly starts, I’ve got my little seat ready and I’ve been recovering. 

‘I promise I’ll share more over the next couple of days, it takes a while to get not a positive mindset when you have a setback and you just need to be able to process it and work out what the body is saying and how we continue to move through this but in the meantime I’m very excited to see the amazing talented class of 2026. I’m so exited to watch them do their iconic performances tonight.’

She added: ‘I’m sorry I’m not there for this one but I’m giving it everything I’ve got to be there next week.’

On Monday, Delta released a statement saying she was ‘absolutely gutted’ to be missing the next round of the contest.

I’ve been loving every second of this experience, so having to sit this one out is heartbreaking – especially after the high of Saturday night,’ she said.

‘I cannot tell you how much I love being a part of this magical show.’

Last Saturday, Delta and her partner Kai Widdrington topped the leaderboard with 33 points and scored the first nine of the series for their Disco themed Salsa. 

Strictly Come Dancing continues tomorrow night on BBC One.

Man, 22, dies after falling from top of the Arc de Triomphe

A young man has died after falling from the top of the Arc de Triomphe.

The incident occurred at around 3pm in the 8th arrondissement at the top of the Champs-Élysées in Paris, France.

A 22-year-old male fell approximately 50 metres from the monument in front of several witnesses.

Emergency services, including firefighters, arrived quickly, but the man was pronounced dead at the scene, the prosecutor’s office announced.

Consequently, the landmark has been completely closed to the public.

Investigators are currently treating suicide as the leading hypothesis, believing that he ‘jumped’.

While police explore the circumstances that led to the man’s death, it is not thought to be linked to protests in the French capital ‘at this stage’.

Law enforcement clashed with demonstrators in Paris and other cities today, firing tear gas and water cannons and making hundreds of arrests.

Some, wearing hoods and face coverings, launched fireworks and other objects at riot police, who were deployed around Place de la République.

Protesters broke windows at CNews and Europe 1 offices, and reports from the scene said they threw projectiles at the buildings.

Town hall buildings in Lille and Marseille were broken into, with a fire breaking out on the roof of Limoges City Hall.

Authorities also closed metro stations and dispersed gatherings near government buildings.

Insisting that people have the right to protest peacefully, French Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu said there is no place for ‘arson, looting, and attacks’.

He described today as the most violent school protests in decades and criticised the ‘hard left’ who ‘openly called for revolt’.

Hundreds of thousands of people, mostly young people, took to the streets to demand better education and improved public school conditions.

This followed weeks of student-led protests against crumbling buildings, teacher shortages, overcrowded classrooms, and budget constraints.

Teachers, parents, nurses, human rights lawyers, and emergency service workers joined the students in solidarity.

This weekend’s unrest also stemmed from anger towards rising living costs, fuel prices, and the deteriorating social welfare system.

Shortly after midday, the Interior Ministry recorded around 140 protest actions outside the Paris region. Protests were initially reported to involve more than 32,000 people, but by evening, that figure rose to over half a million.

Backing the rallies, the CGT, one of France’s major labour unions, echoed demands for ‘higher wages and pensions, lower prices and the protection of public services that meet people’s needs’.

The protests increased pressure on President Emmanuel Macron’s government ahead of next April’s presidential election.

Macron, who first took office in 2017, responded to the demonstrators by saying there is ‘no place for violence in our Republic’, stating that those who have ‘vandalised and attacked’ will be ‘prosecuted and punished’.

Who took Robert’s money ‘confirmed’ as Emmerdale spoilers reveal what happens next

Robert lost everything again! (Picture: ITV / Metro)

Robert Sugden’s (Ryan Hawley) whole world came tumbling down in Emmerdale when the money he’d won hours earlier in poker game was stolen from right under his nose.

The farmer has been having cashflow issues as of late, especially after purchasing struggling business The Hide from Gabby Thomas (Rosie Bentham), who sabotaged his plans to open imminently due to him having lowballed her with his offer.

In a bid to raise the funds needed, he organised a poker night at his new establishment, inviting Joe Tate (Ned Porteous), Jai Sharma (Chris Bisson) and Claudette Anderson (Flo Wilson) to play.

Once Claudette left with her winnings and Jay cashed out, Joe and Robert went head-to-head, with Robert putting the Hide on the table while Joe offered up £100k.

Robert came out victorious, much to Joe’s shock, and he partied the night away at The Woolpack, unaware that a punter stole the cash after Kev (Chris Coghill) stated aloud the amount his ex won aloud in the pub for all to hear.

The discovery left Robert horrified, realising that he’s literally got nothing left. But who stole the cash?

What happens next in Emmerdale? Spoilers for Monday, October 19 episode

The next episode deals with the fallout of tonight’s as Robert and Aaron (Danny Miller) desperately try to work out who stole the money.

With poker players Joe and Jai in attendance on the evening in question, could either of them be the culprits? Or is Kev the man they’re looking for?

Eagle-eyed viewers may have spotted Kev making off with his jacket all rolled up when time was called by Woolpack landlady Charity (Emma Atkins), but is he the thief?

Aaron and Sarah (Katie Hill) head off to interrogate the potential suspects, but will they get the answers they need?

Elsewhere, Liam Cavanagh (Jonny McPherson) takes Cain (Jeff Hordley) on a fishing trip ahead of his radiotherapy.

Belle (Eden Taylor-Draper), meanwhile, receives a visit from her Victim Liaison Officer, who informs her that Tom (James Chase) will be released from prison.

Reeling, Belle is assured that Tom will be subject to strict licence conditions upon his release but Kammy (Shebz Miah) is pained to see the change in her demeanour.

Later, Charles (Kevin Mathurin) overhears Belle speaking to Nicola (Nicola Wheeler) about the situation and he can’t help but reveal that Tom has been speaking to him in his role as a prison chaplain – and that he has accepted culpability for what he did and is even seeking Belle’s forgiveness.

Unsure of what to do, Belle ultimately decides to visit Tom.

Emmerdale airs these scenes Monday, October 19 at 8pm on ITV1 or stream from 7am on ITVX or YouTube.

Trump fires bumbling White House press secretary Katie Zacharia after just 5 days

White House press secretary Katie Zacharia is ‘transitioning out’ of the role after five days (Picture: Reuters)

Katie Zacharia has held the White House press secretary role for less than a week – and she’s already been fired.

She gave a clumsy first speech five days ago, prompting President Donald Trump to urge her to ‘reconsider’ her post, despite originally insisting she did a ‘very good’ job.

Recalling his conversation with her, speaking before boarding Marine One to head to Joint Base Andrews, he said he told her: ‘Honestly, if I were you, I’d reconsider.

‘Katie, do you need this? I don’t think you need this.’

A White House official then confirmed she is ‘transitioning out’ of the position but has not shared a timeline for her exit.

Trump said Zacharia could continue to work for him ‘in some form, but maybe a more pleasant form’.

Zacharia, 42, helmed just one briefing on Tuesday and has been noticeably absent since, with Trump saying the media treated her ‘very, very badly’.

‘Welcome to the world of Trump,’ he later declared.

Still, he describes her as a ‘very nice person’, despite clearly having little faith in her public-speaking abilities.

Zacharia is a political commentator who has frequently appeared on Fox News and Newsmax.

In her debut address, described as ‘painful’ to listen to, she spoke briefly, and observers noted she seemed ill-prepared and nervous.

The whole thing lasted for a toe-curling 14 minutes and involved Zacharia stumbling over her words, even though she read directly from notes.

At one point, when asked how she would manage to keep up with her husband and four children alongside the job, she made the mother of all blunders.

She said her husband was helping with bedtime, adding: ‘My president – sorry, my husband.’

Trying to claw it back, she quipped: ‘That’s a good one.’

Her legal background came under scrutiny shortly after, as headlines questioned whether she had misrepresented herself as a lawyer.

The president called her ‘an attorney’, even though public records show she failed the bar exam.

Defending herself, Zacharia said in a statement this week: ‘I practised international transaction law with all the appropriate credentials.’

She is now the shortest-serving press secretary under Trump (Picture: AP Photo/Julia Demaree Nikhinson)

And when quizzed by a reporter on when she supposedly passed the bar, she replied: ‘When I moved to China.’

Campaign for Accountability, a watchdog group, filed a complaint with the California State Bar Association on Wednesday, seeking to investigate whether she ‘repeatedly held herself out to the public as entitled to practise law without a licence to do so’.

Pepperdine University in California confirmed that Zacharia graduated from law school in 2011, but a degree does not permit her to practise law.

Having lasted a mere five days, this makes Zacharia’s stint even shorter than that of Anthony Scaramucci, who was press secretary for just 10 days in July 2017.

Trump has had a revolving door of press secretaries between his two terms, with Zacharia succeeding Karoline Leavitt, who held the role from January 20, 2025, to August 27, 2026.
