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.
