Emmerdale star Amy Nuttall takes back 'cheating' ex - but has strict new rules for him

Emmerdale legend Amy Nuttall has taken her 'cheating' husband back a few months after reports he left her for another woman.

The 41-year-old actress and the 44-year-old Broadchurch actor tied the knot in 2012 and have two children together, a son and a daughter. However, last year, rumors circulated that the couple had separated, and it was alleged that Andrew had left Amy for Leila Farzad, a 39-year-old co-star from the BBC crime thriller series Better.

But Andrew and Leila's relationship reportedly fell apart, and recent reports suggest that he begged Amy for forgiveness, and she decided to take him back. However, the couple are doing things differently with Amy reportedly taking a strict approach to repairing their marriage reports the Mirror.

According to a relationship expert quoted by The Sun, Amy and Andrew have adopted the "777 approach" to rebuilding their relationship. The expert stated that despite doubts about their reconciliation, Amy has chosen to give their marriage another chance.

The expert said: “No one thought they could come back from this but Amy has decided to give it one more go. She doesn’t want to throw away over a decade together but at the same time she is far from a pushover.

"They will adopt the 777 approach which means every seven days you go on a date, every seven weeks you go away for the night and every seven months you go away on holiday just the two of you.”

Last month it was revealed that Amy and Andrew were rebuilding their relationship following their shock split last December - which wasn’t reported until February this year.

According to The Sun's report, Andrew is not allowed to contact Leila as they work on rebuilding their relationship. Additionally, when he is away from home for work, he must check in with Amy using FaceTime.

The report also suggests that the couple will reconsider how they balance their work and personal lives. They aim to have a more equal approach to their careers, as Andrew has been involved in successful shows like The Crown and Broadchurch, while Amy has taken on fewer acting roles.

In March, Amy is thought to have asked Andrew for a divorce following his affair revelation with his co-star. But if the latest reports are true, she could be about to give their 17-year relationship a second chance.

The Mirror has approached the couple’s agent for comment.
