Emmerdale spoilers: Lydia encourages Belle report Tom to the police?

Belle and Lydia chatting in the countryside in Emmerdale .

Emmerdale's Belle Dingle has a decision to make about Tom in Tuesday's episode (ITV, 7.30pm, see our TV Guide for full listings).

Given that Belle Dingle has discovered a secret camera among the mess abusive Tom made in their marital home before he vanished, she's feeling awful.

It's just another horrible thing on top of all the awful, violent, nasty, controlling things he put her through before she found the strength to walk out on him.

As she opens up to Lydia about her feelings, Lydia gently urges her sister-in-law to go to the police and report Tom's crimes.

But Belle won't hear a word of it, terrified that she's going to have to relive the horror of their marriage and share deeply personal things in a courtroom.

Will Belle change her mind when she asks Lydia how she felt when she finally reported Craig, her so-called friend, who raped her?

Later, though Lydia's shaken up by rehashing what she went through, she desperately hopes that sharing her truth will help Belle do the same with the police.

Will Belle report her abusive husband?
