And last week, the couple took a trip to Wales, where Belle was shocked to discover that Tom was planning for them to move their permanently.

Their holiday turned into a nightmare as Tom continued to gaslight Belle, locking her in the house and even violently attacking her.

Thankfully, Belle managed to get away, and later ended their marriage.

Tom has let Belle live in their home alone with their pet dog Piper, but Tom continues to try and worm his way back into Belle’s life.
