Members of the Dingle clan have been rocked by the sudden death of Craig Reed, who was seemingly murdered before being left on the Home Farm estate.

Lydia Dingle decided to investigate and figure out who the killer was as she was convinced somebody close to her was responsible.

Her list of suspects included members of her own family, including Belle Dingle (Eden Taylor-Draper).

However, when she was interrogated, it was revealed that Belle had agreed to marry her partner, Thomas King (James Chase).

But despite wedding bells being on the horizon, the loved-up pair have encountered issues as Tom is suspected of being dishonest with his other half.

In most recent scenes of the ITV soap, Tom announced his mother Colleen, who was left behind in Saudi Arabia with his sister Anya, had died from an apparent heart attack.

Coming up next week, Tom has to face the reality of his mother’s death and a funeral is in the works.

Belle encourages Tom to book flights for the even but fails to notice that he’s troubled by the prospect.

In later scenes, Tom opens up to Belle about not wanting to go to his mum’s funeral alone.

He’s grateful when she agrees to accompany him but will they really set off to Saudi Arabia together?

Could Tom really be hiding something from Belle?

Will he come clean and reveal all of his secrets to her?

Viewers of the Yorkshire-based drama have been suspicious of Thomas King since he first returned to the eponymous village earlier this year.
