Emmerdale’s Belle Dingle star shows off ‘baby bump’ in ‘what a year’ update

influx of support from fans as she shared an emotional yearly update – including

a video of her cradling a baby bump under a cream jumper. The Belle Dingle actress,

27, headed to Instagram to post a series of behind-the-scenes snaps from a turbulent

year in the Dales. Among the snaps, Eden wore a dazzling white wedding gown for her on-screen wedding to abuser Tom King, before Belle realised what he was really like. Clutching a bouquet and with a veil in her blonde hair, Eden looked glam as she posed outside the village church, before posting a video of her being twirled around on the ice by Christopher Dean in another BTS look at the ITV soap. Posing up a storm in a sweater dress, Eden stood up and cradled a faux baby bump from her ‘what if’ episode, which explored what would happen if Belle kept Tom’s baby and stayed with him – alongside a series of other scenarios.

Thankfully, fans know Tom was sent down for his crimes after an emotional court episode – and on Christmas Day, Belle is set to be reunited with her beloved pet dog Piper, who she believed to be dead.

But desperate to have a baby, Tom lashed out at her at a holiday cottage in Wales, eventually prompting Belle to leave him for good. Alongside her post, Eden wrote: “What a year with my @emmerdale family,” prompting her co-stars to chime in with their own emotional messages of support.

Lisa Riley, who plays Mandy Dingle, penned: “Each and every day you just did it – no issue, no winging, no moaning, no nothing. You just did it!! And that babes is why you can say ‘what a year’ you deserve this so much!” Eden Taylor-Draper (@swedentd) chia sẻ Amelia Spencer star Daisy Campbell added: “You’ve been so amazing Eden! You should be so proud of yourself just like we all are!” Katie Hill, who plays Sarah Sugden, and Jessie Elland – known for her role as Chloe Harris – also appeared with their own messages, while Vinny Dingle star Bradley Johnson said: “What an incredible, amazing year it’s been! You’ve absolutely smashed it Eden.”
