Amy Nuttall's cryptic posts after husband Andrew Buchan 'walked out'

Former Emmerdale star Amy Nuttall hinted at her marriage woes days before the news broke that her husband had left her for his co-star.

Partner Andrew Buchan, who is best known for starring in ITV drama Broadchurch, reportedly told Amy their marriage was over in December. Andrew moved out of the family home shortly after to be with his BBC Better co-star Leila Farzard, 40.

Amy and Andrew, who were married for over ten years, have two children together. The Lancashire actress reportedly became suspicious after seeing pictures of Andrew and Leila on social media.

Sources claim she also discovered her husband had been staying in a hotel close to their home despite saying he was away for work. Amy also allegedly discovered he had bought lingerie in a different size to hers.

The 40-year-old, who also appeared in Downton Abbey, has been sharing a number of pictures on her Instagram page since the split. The day after Valentine's Day she posted an image that read: "I am not impressed by money, social status or job title. I'm impressed by the way someone treats other human beings."

The star's Instagram page features no pictures of her husband. In another picture posted last month, Amy can be seen drinking a cocktail.

She captioned the photograph by saying: "When a pornstar martini makes life a bit better."

Amy previously dated Emmerdale co-star Ben Freeman for four years before their breakup in 2005 amid claims he had cheated on her.
