Downton Abbey actress Amy Nuttall reportedly discovered her actor husband was cheating on her thanks to a racy purchase.
According to sources who spoke to The Sun, receipts and paper records exposed Broadchurch actor Andrew Buchan’s alleged infidelity.
“[Andrew] was away a lot, which wasn’t unusual because of the nature of his work, but at one point Amy realised he had been staying in hotels very near to home, and wondered why,” the source claimed.

It was reported earlier this week that Nuttall had been left “crushed” by the realisation her husband of 11 years had been having an “affair” with his Better co-star Leila Farzad.
To make matters worse, the actress reportedly made the discovery just before Christmas, and the pair have now split.
Nuttall has been “crying every day”, struggling to come to terms with the end of her marriage.
“As time moved on, there were some tell-tale signs that he had become close to Leila – just something in his mannerisms and in their social media posts together,” a source said.
“But the final straw was the lingerie. That’s what clinched it. Amy just knew instinctively that it wasn’t meant for her.”

Farzad was also reportedly married at the time of her and Buchan’s alleged affair. The pair played two characters who embark on a passionate affair in Better.
Meanwhile, Nuttall – who is known for her roles as Ethel Parks in Downton Abbey and Chloe Atkinson in Emmerdale – and Buchan were married in 2012 and share two young children.
Farzad married her husband James in 2013, and they share a daughter, who was born in 2014. However, it is not known if the couple have gone their separate ways.
