Lisa's voiceover was a beautiful addition to the episode

Last night in Emmerdale (Thursday, February 15), Belle got married to Tom King in true Dingle style, although Tom didn’t appreciate their unique way of celebrating.

At home, Belle then read a letter from Lisa – with Jane Cox providing a voiceover for Lisa in a heartfelt scene.

Emmerdale fans have now been left all teary-eyed after they watched Lisa’s ‘return’ scenes.

Emmerdale: Belle read Lisa’s letter

Yesterday evening, Belle worried that her and Tom’s wedding wasn’t going ahead as she hadn’t heard from him after their argument.

However, after Tom contacted her, she headed to the church and managed to get wed to her fiancé.

At the wedding reception though, Ruby caused a scene as she stood up and exposed Caleb and Tracy’s affair.

Tom was livid and went back home to blame Belle for her family ruining their big day.

As Belle went to open a letter from her late mum Lisa, Tom tried to stop her and accused her of caring more about her family than him. He then demanded that Belle spent the night on the sofa.

At the end of the episode, Belle cried as she read Lisa’s letter. Lisa had hoped that she’d marry a kind man who would treat her right.

In these scenes, Jane Cox’s voice could be heard reading the letter as the late Lisa was ‘brought back to life.’
