Cut it open and see if it looks edible, cut out bad parts. It doesn’t look too good to me

Whenever a big rain is coming, pick all ripening fruit. Especially Cherokee Purple!

Yep Cherokee Purples have to be picked as soon as the start to ripen. You can actually pick them when they are green. They will still ripen perfectly.

Too much water

Tip : – make sure you water regularly even if heavy rain is on the way within the next 48hours. The container should have plenty of drainage holes. It stops the tomato plant panicking and taking up too much water too quickly. Don’t forget to fertilise

Overwatered, over ripened.
Dont let the soil go dry between watering days.
