Emmerdale spoilers follow.

Emmerdale star Eden Taylor-Draper has revealed the next stage of her character Belle King’s baby storyline.

Belle takes a pregnancy test later this week and is relieved when the result is negative. However, her abusive husband Tom is clearly unhappy over the outcome.

Tom has put pressure on Belle to start a family with him ever since they got married earlier this year. Belle has always insisted that it’s not the right time.

Later this week, Belle appears to change her mind following Tom’s latest controlling behaviour.

When Belle regrets this, she visits the doctors surgery and speaks to Manpreet Sharma about ways to discreetly continue with her contraceptive prescription without Tom knowing.

Speaking about the upcoming scenes, Eden explained: “So from the minute they got married, Tom was very quick to bring up having a baby. Belle quite clearly said: ‘Let’s slow down’.

“I think Tom put the pressure on by saying: ‘Well, I don’t have a family, you are my family, and I want a family. This is my dream’.

“Belle, after quite a few episodes of him pushing for it, says: ‘Okay, yeah, we can have a baby’. And straight after that, it’s like: ‘What am I doing? I don’t want to have a baby right now’.”
