Andrew got married to Amy Nuttall in 2012.

Amy and Andrew have two children together — a son and daughter.

They prefer to keep their kids private information out of the public spotlight, so very little is known about them.

Did Andrew Buchan leave his wife?

Andrew originally walked out on Amy, 41, and moved in with on-screen lover Leila Farzad, 42, in February 2023.

In an interview with The Sunday Times on March 29, 2024, Amy confirmed she was back with 45-year-old Andrew.

Talking about her yearly salary, Amy said: “Generally speaking, in the last financial year — what can I tell you? — below a hundred grand, but I’m married so it all goes into one pot.

"So it’s not as scary because I can lean on that.”

She went on to confirm the couple still owned the family home together, saying: “I’m the joint owner of our comfortable family home in Buckinghamshire.

“We owned a smaller house before.”

The Sun revealed that Amy was left “shocked and crying every day” after Andrew fell for his co-star Leila on the set of BBC’s  Better, in which they had a passionate affair.

Amy became suspicious after finding lingerie which was not her size.

Just weeks later he returned to the family home, but the reunion was short-lived and Amy kicked him out again in August.

Friends previously said Andrew failed to stick to marriage “rules” drawn up by Amy.

At the time, a source said: “There is no suggestion he has cheated again but, as far as she is concerned, this is it.

“She is obviously gutted but also accepts that their time together has come to an end.”

What are Amy Nuttall's 7 rules for Andrew Buchan?

Amy had issued an ultimatum to Andrew in July 2023, with seven strict rules if they were to get back on track.

Here they are in full:

  1. You must have no contact with Leila at any time or for any reason.
  2. If you are working away from home you must check in via FaceTime.
  3. We must have full access to each other's phones at all times.
  4. Every seven days we go on a date with each other.
  5. Every seven weeks we go away for the night.
  6. Every seven months just the two of us go away on holiday.
  7. Our work must be on an equal footing.
