Andrew Buchanan’s new love Leila Farzad spotted with her wedding ring on after split from Emmerdale star Amy Nuttall
LEILA Farzad has been spotted out with her husband Jamie Maizels after it was revealed that her Better co-star Andrew Buchan is set to divorce.
The 40 year old was seen out and about for the first time since the claims and she had her wedding ring on for the outing.
Leila wore a long beige coat as she and Jamie enjoyed an afternoon stroll.
She wore a navy hooded top underneath while appearing to clasp onto a wooly hat.
Jamie also donned his wedding ring as he walked alongside his wife in a long brown coat and a pair of simple grey trousers.
The Sun first exclusively reported that Broadchurch star Andrew Buchan had walked out on his Downton Abbey actress wife Amy Nuttall after falling for his co-star on Beeb thriller Better.

Buchan, who played tragic Mark Latimer in Broadchurch, is said to have fallen for glamorous Leila Farzad while they were filming new BBC crime thriller Better.

A source close to the pair said: “For Andrew to walk away from his family was a huge shock to us all – and Amy is heartbroken.
“Everyone who knows them thought they were going to be together forever.
“But he’s packed his bags and left with his new co-star.
“Whatever has gone on, it seems to have been enough for him to re-evaluate his whole life and rip up their marriage.
“Nobody is quite sure of the exact details, but Andrew has clearly had his head turned pretty dramatically.”
Oxford University-educated Leila got her first big role in Billie Piper’s Sky Atlantic comedy drama I Hate Suzie.
In Better, which launched last month on BBC One, she plays a corrupt police detective working secretly for a powerful criminal portrayed by Buchan.
