Emmerdale's Belle star Eden Taylor-Draper completely unrecognisable in soap debut nearly 20 years ago


Eden Taylor-Draper has been a regular fixture in the Dales as Belle Dingle since she was seven years old, but she's not the first actress to play the iconic character

This week's Emmerdale episodes had viewers praising Eden Taylor-Draper's performance in the soap, after her character Belle Dingle announced that she's leaving her abusive on-screen hubby Tom King behind. Her character Belle first graced our screens alongside Steve Halliwell, who played her on-screen dad Zak Dingle until his death aged 77 last year. Back at home, Belle's troubles aren't over as she confronts her mother Lisa's fury about the fight, which lands her on dishwashing duty while her brother Sam and his wife Alice look on.
