The affair was discovered only a year ago when a love letter she wrote to him was found in the boot of his car as his shocked wife cleaned it.
Her public image of a devoted farmer’s wife, mother and shepherdess has been shattered by the recent revelation of the note found inside a paper bag.
The scribbled message, discovered last March, read: “Robert, life is too short & happiness is too rare. I love you.”
His devastated wife, Yasumi, an investment banker from Tokyo, recognised the handwriting from a signed copy of Amanda’s new book.
She later found some of Amanda’s jewellery hidden in a box in their bedroom. It included a necklace she had worn on TV, which read: “Together forever.”
When she confronted her husband, he admitted to the betrayal.
In an exclusive interview with The Sun, Yasumi, 56, said of her husband: “He rang Amanda in front of me and told her I knew about their affair and that it was over."
Since the news of the infidelity has come out, Amanda has been nowhere to be seen on social media and it's led fans to speculate that she's living "a double life" with her "new man".
