Emmerdale fans have been left baffled by Belle Dingle’s mobile phone blunder in last night’s episode (Thursday, December 30).
In last night’s scenes, Ellis, Belle and Kyle set off into the woodlands for an explorer experience for Kyle.
However Ellis got a call from Priya, who was upset, and set off back to the village to see her.
Soon Kyle twisted his ankle and Belle decided they should go home, but she realised Ellis had accidentally taken her car keys with him.
Belle took Kyle back to the car and broke the window so he could sit inside.
She then reached for her phone and noticed it was on low battery.
Belle tried to call Ellis but got no answer, as his dad Al declined the call while Ellis was away from his phone.

Belle then left a voicemail but her phone died. However fans were left questioning why she didn’t try to call or text someone else or try calling emergency services.
Belle could have sent out a mass text to everyone when she couldn't get hold of Ellis. 15% battery is plenty to do that. Also, 999. The plotholes are ridiculous #Emmerdale

Okay i usually like her but in today's episode Belle is actually an idiot. She could have called a cab in the times she called Ellis #emmerdale

Why didn’t Belle ring someone else? #Emmerdale

Why doesn't Belle just call someone else? Her family is huge, someone must be about to pick them up. Even Amy, she would go for Kyle… #emmerdale
