Better star Andrew Buchan's ex-wife breaks silence over romance with co-star
The ex-partner of actor Andrew Buchan has broken her silence after the actor's alleged new romance with his Better co-star, Leila Farzad, was revealed. Amy Nuttall, who married the Broadchurch actor in 2012, has been left heartbroken after Andrew reportedly left the family home and moved in with Leila at the end of 2022.
The MailOnline reports exclusively that Amy, who is known for her roles as Ethel Parks Downton Abbey and Chloe Atkinson in Emmerdale said: "I can't talk about it. I'm sorry, I can't say anything."
The publication also states that the actress has been left "crushed" and crying often due to the split. Andrew and Leila reportedly met while filming Better which aired on BBC earlier this year. Watch the video below to see their on-screen chemistry...

Amy and Andrew wed in 2012 and share one son and a daughter together. Leila, meanwhile, married her husband James Maizels in 2013. A year later, they welcomed a daughter named Allegra. It is not known when Leila and James split.
Amy has not spoken about the split further to her comment to the Mail, but last week she shared an Instagram post of a cryptic quote which read: "I am not impressed by money, social status or job titled. I'm impressed by the way someone treat other human beings."
