Emmerdale reveals Tom King’s latest evil deed in early ITVX episode

Tom King (James Chase) made another twisted move in Emmerdale as he stooped to a whole new low.

The abusive character is called out by Aunt Nicola King (Nicola Wheeler), who has moved into Laurel Thomas’s (Charlotte Bellamy) home with the kids because husband Jimmy (Nick Miles) was supporting Tom.

After being criticized again by the police for his disgusting treatment of ex-wife Belle (Eden Taylor-Draper), Tom told his uncle he was being trolled online.

However, distracted Jimmy was desperate to get Nicola round as they kept an eye on troubled daughter Angelica (Rebecca Bakes).

Jimmy asked Tom to stay out all day, and Tom agreed. But in the village, Tom was found by Laurel, apparently attacked and left with a bloody head injury.

Laurel took Tom home, where Jimmy felt guilty for sending him away and urged him to report his attack to the police.

Tom rejected this and Jimmy accused Sam Dingle (James Hooton) of targeting Tom.

Nicola diffused the situation and begged Jimmy to see Tom’s true colors, adding that this was just an example of why she kept the children away from Tom.

Meanwhile, Tom had a secret meeting with his lawyer friend Ollie (Alistair Toovey), who hated that he had been talked into attacking Tom by the man himself, and no longer wanted to represent him.

Tom threatened to reveal something dodgy about Ollie unless he stayed with him, and insisted that Ollie had to do whatever it took to keep him out of jail – legally or not.

Will Tom succeed in his plan, or will he finally be exposed?
