While sitting on the sofa, which is covered with her late mum Lisa Dingle’s crochet blanket, Tom tried it on with Belle but she wasn’t interested due to Vinny being upstairs and also her family could walk in at any given moment. After sulking at not getting his own way, Tom manipulated Belle to have sex on the living room rug. After making love, Belle let slip that Vinny was a virgin and Tom didn’t waste time in making his discovery known.

As Vinny walked down stairs, Belle was keen to check he was felling okay but Tom instead zipped up his trousers, insulating they had been passionate with his wife. Vinny quickly realised what Tom was hinting at and the evil vet reassured him that he’d know what it would be like “one day” and he hoped they didn’t “disturb him”.

Vinny worked out that Belle had told her husband that he’d never had sex and he pretended he was feeling ok so the couple could leave but Belle was left feeling visibly uncomfortable and apologised to her friend. As Tom left, he told Vinny that the rug would “definitely needs a hoover” leaving viewers fuming.

Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, one fan penned: “I actually squirm in my seat when I see Tom, I loathe him so much…… he needs to go asap.” Another added: “Tom is so disgusting. Can’t wait for him to get caught.” A third person said: “I can’t stand that creep Tom.”
