Belle Dingle faces more turmoil in Emmerdale next week as her mental health troubles push her into taking revenge on Joanie Wright.

Viewers have seen Belle's psychosis return following the appearance of 'Ellie' - who the teen believes is a friend from prison, but is really just a figment of her imagination.

Belle (Eden Taylor-Draper), who currently takes medication for schizophrenia, appears to be having a relapse amid the stress over her pregnancy lie, but things will take an even darker turn next week when she lashes out at Joanie under the instructions of 'Ellie'.

When Joanie asks Belle to be her bridesmaid at her upcoming wedding to Zak, she is encouraged by both her mum and boyfriend Jermaine Bailey to accept the offer and forgive and forget everything that has happened in the past.

Joanie is overjoyed when Belle turns up at her hen do and gives her a dress for the wedding, but 'Ellie' berates her for enjoying herself. Later, Belle is horrified when Joanie catches her talking to her alter ego, but manages to cover by saying she is talking to her baby.

As the party continues, Belle is mortified when she picks up Joanie's dress by mistake, prompting a hurt Lisa to see.

The situation escalates when 'Ellie' calls Belle a traitor and she swears she'll prove she isn't, but what is she planning? And will anyone notice just how much she's struggling?

Emmerdale airs these scenes on Friday, August 5 on ITV.

As these paparazzi pictures show, poor Belle will be seeking what little shelter she can find by staying in a doorway when things get desperate for her.

Looking tired and in turmoil, she only has a coat and a sleeping bag to rely on for warmth - with her family and friends nowhere to be seen.

This downward spiral for Belle probably doesn't come as a huge surprise, as we've recently seen her mental health problems make a tragic return amid the pressure of her relationship with Jermaine Bailey.

Pretending to be pregnant and desperate to hold onto her older boyfriend, Belle has been tormented by her 'friend from prison' Ellie – whose presence is actually a symptom of her psychosis.

Viewers will have to stay tuned over the next few weeks to see what leads to Belle leaving the village. Could her pregnancy lie be exposed, causing her family and Bailey to turn against her?

Or could Belle leave of her own accord as her worrying illness continues to take hold?

Emmerdale star Eden Taylor-Draper is expecting a long road ahead for Belle Dingle before she recovers from her tragic mental health relapse.

The troubled teen is once again suffering from psychosis and flees from the village next week as the truth finally dawns on her worried family.

It all kicks off when Belle's fake pregnancy lie is exposed, but the Dingles soon realise that's the least of their worries when they also uncover her tormented state of mind.

The emotional scenes see Belle continue to be plagued by her 'friend' Ellie, who is in fact a symptom of her illness.

Revealing all the drama from next week's episodes, Eden explained: "Once the truth comes out, Belle is obviously panicking and 'Ellie' is screaming in her ear.

"Belle is talking to her, but everyone can see that there's nobody there even though Belle is screaming. Then she goes to the cafe, has a breakdown and all of the family see her crying on the floor.

"They finally know exactly what's going on. That's when Belle decides to run off, because she can't cope with it."

Eden continued: "Belle is completely lost afterwards. When Belle had psychosis before, it got dealt with quite quickly. But this gets quite intense, to the point where Belle loses herself. She doesn't know what to do or how she feels anymore.

"I think it's really good to portray that. It's not just a one-off thing. You do deal with it for life, so to bring it back into the show is really good. Obviously this is a lot more serious because Belle is in love and that's made it 100 times worse."

But with all of her secrets now out, is it all over for Belle and Bailey?

Pondering the possibility, Eden said: "I'm not really sure. I think Jermaine wants to help and Belle still loves him, but she's at the point where she wouldn't be able to have a relationship.

"She's not mentally stable in any way, so I think it would take a lot for Belle to get better and for them to continue being in love."

Interesting.. I look forward to this. She's always been one of my top favourites in Emmerdale and is such a talented young actress. She's right, it's really important and right thing to do to portray mental health issues in soaps too.
