Exclusive: Emmerdale’s Belle Dingle Actress Eden Taylor-Draper Supports Sister’s Cancer Battle

Eden Taylor-Draper, who plays Belle Dingle on Emmerdale, has revealed her close bond with her sister, Francesca, who was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia six years ago. Taylor-Draper took time off from filming to be by Francesca’s side during her treatment and the ordeal brought the family closer together. Taylor-Draper, who became an ambassador for the Teenage Cancer Trust, said she and her sister would snuggle up in bed, watch TV, and say ‘I love you’ before sleep. She is also in a long-term relationship with Ed Lewis, whom she met in grammar school, and is close with her Emmerdale castmates, particularly Emma Atkins, who plays Charity Dingle.

Emmerdale’s Tom King’s Desperate Attempt to Control Belle Dingle

Emmerdale’s Tom King (James Chase) has been relentlessly trying to trap and control Belle Dingle (Eden Taylor-Draper), and his latest move may have finally succeeded.

When Belle suspects she might be pregnant, fear consumes her as she realizes the potential consequences for her future. However, a negative pregnancy test brings relief, leaving Tom utterly disappointed. Viewers are left wondering what Tom’s next move will be as he continues his obsessive quest for control over Belle’s life.
