Emmerdale’s Belle is disgusted with herself as she investigates Kammy

Belle Dingle (Eden Taylor-Draper) and Kammy Hadiq (Shebz Miah) have only just started getting it back on in Emmerdale and already Belle is sensing the red flags.

After her experience with her abusive gas lighter of an ex Tom, Belle knows how to spot the signs. But is cheeky chappy Kammy really a wrong un?

He’s carrying a humongous secret, and though he thinks no one knows about it, Belle is sensing something and his reluctance to open up could be a big problem. Actor Shebz confirmed as much to Metro when speaking about Kammy’s decision to keep quiet: ‘there are consequences’.

Yikes.

Kammy visits Belle at work, but there’s something off about him. Belle already knows he’s a private soul and is determined to break down his walls.

She uses Eid as an excuse to dig about his family and learn more about his background. She’s quickly shut down though; he gets awkward and it becomes clear she shouldn’t push. But she ignores it and asks to meet his family. This is a step too far and Kammy is quick to shut her down.

Kammy’s behaviour gets weirder when he receives a text from Aaron about a barn fire and he legs it.

Kammy arrives sat the garage where Aaron comments how tired he looks. Aaron (Danny Miller) and Robert (Ryan Hawley) are still trying to unmask their mystery arsonist and Aaron is still not convinced that Kammy is innocent of the crime.

Belle later finds herself alone with Kammy’s phone and decides to seize the opportunity for a snoop. She stops herself just before she rifles through his phone and is mortified at her distrust. She tells Dawn (Olivia Bromley) what she nearly did, but still can’t shake the feeling he’s lying to her.

And that’s because he is; while she’s worrying about what he’s up to, Kammy is setting up his sleeping bag in a barn. His big secret? He’s homeless.

‘This storyline is a vital look at ‘hidden homelessness,’ showing that people can be living on the edge of society, sleeping in their vehicle or barns, while still successfully holding down a job and maintaining relationships’, producer of the show Sophie Roper said.
