star Eden Taylor-Draper received an influx of support from fans as she shared an emotional yearly update – including a video of her cradling a baby bump under a cream jumper.
The Belle Dingle actress, 27, headed to to post a series of behind-the-scenes snaps from a turbulent year in the Dales. Among the snaps, Eden wore a dazzling white wedding gown for her on-screen wedding to abuser Tom King, before Belle realised what he was really like.
Clutching a bouquet and with a veil in her blonde hair, Eden looked glam as she posed outside the village church, before posting a video of her being twirled around on the ice by Christopher Dean in another BTS look at the soap.
Posing up a storm in a sweater dress, Eden stood up and cradled a faux baby bump from her ‘what if’ episode, which explored what would happen if Belle kept Tom’s baby and stayed with him – alongside a series of other scenarios.
Thankfully, fans know Tom was sent down for his crimes after an emotional court episode – and on Christmas Day, Belle is set to be reunited with her beloved pet dog Piper, who she believed to be dead.

Though Belle did fall pregnant at one point, she decided to terminate the pregnancy, fearing what impact Tom would have on a child’s life. But desperate to have a baby, Tom lashed out at her at a holiday cottage in Wales, eventually prompting Belle to leave him for good.
Alongside her post, Eden wrote: “What a year with my @ family,” prompting her co-stars to chime in with their own emotional messages of support.
Lisa Riley, who plays Mandy Dingle, penned: “Each and every day you just did it – no issue, no winging, no moaning, no nothing. You just did it!! And that babes is why you can say ‘what a year’ you deserve this so much!”
Amelia Spencer star Daisy Campbell added: “You’ve been so amazing Eden! You should be so proud of yourself just like we all are!”
Katie Hill, who plays Sarah Sugden, and Jessie Elland – known for her role as Chloe Harris – also appeared with their own messages, while Vinny Dingle star Bradley Johnson said: “What an incredible, amazing year it’s been! You’ve absolutely smashed it Eden.”
