Amy Nuttall is set to take on an exciting new drama role, just weeks after taking back her cheating husband Andrew Buchan for a third time.
The actress, 41, who was last seen without wearing her wedding ring, stuck by Andrew’s side once again despite him leaving her to move in with Leila Farzad last year.
And showing fans she is not letting Andrew, 45, steal her limelight, the Soap star has landed a spot in a new gritty drama.
Amy is renowned for playing Chloe Atkinson in Emmerdale from 2005 to 2005 and playing housemaid Ethel Parks in Downton Abbey from 2011 until 2012.
She will soon grace screens in Channel 5’s new six-part series The Feud, which sees families dramatically fall out over planning permission in their street.

Amy will star alongside EastEnders star Jill Halfpenny, 48, and Spooks actor Rupert Penry-Jones, 53.
Filming for the upcoming drama has already started in Newcastle, prepping for its released date in 2025.
Promoting her dazzling new part, Amy took to social media on Thursday to share the announcement.
The post read: ‘Channel 5 green lights 6-part drama ‘The Feud’ starring Jill Halfpenny and Rupert Penry-Jones, from Lonesome Pine Productions.
Amy and Andrew, who have a daughter and a son, first split in December 2022 when he left her for his Better co-star Leila Farzad, with the affair becoming public knowledge the following February 2023.
But just weeks later, Leila allegedly returned to her husband James Maizels, while Andrew has gone back to his family, with The Sun reporting that Andrew told a friend: ‘We’re healing.’
In July, it was claimed that Amy had set her husband seven strict rules to follow after their reunion in order to rekindle their relationship.
The seven rules included having full access to one another’s phones and having a date night once a week and going on a couple’s holiday every seven months.

Amy apparently demanded weekly date nights as they followed the 777 approach, full access to each other’s phones and absolutely no out of work contact with any co-stars, according to The Sun.
It was reported Andrew would also need to keep in contact via FaceTime when he’s working away.
‘No one thought they could come back from this but Amy has decided to give it one more go,’ a source told the publication.
‘[Amy] 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.’
The 777 approach makes up three of the rules, and the final one is that their work should be on an equal footing, it was reported.
Speculation Amy and Andrew had reunited came in June when Andrew was seen leaving their family home wearing his gold wedding ring.
Amy was spotted around the same time at the property, without her ring, but insiders suggested they were giving things another go.
A source close to the couple told the The Sun: ‘Amy was, understandably, devastated to learn of the infidelity and wanted a clean break and a fresh start.
‘But Andrew has come back to her and promised to change.
‘They have been working through their problems and are trying to put the love triangle behind them for the sake of their family.’
They reconciled but the former Emmerdale star reportedly split from him again in August 2023 when he failed to stick to seven marriage rules she had set out to help rebuild their marriage.
At the time, ‘Gutted’ Amy was said to have called time on their 11-year marriage and thrown him out of the family home they shared with their two children.
It was originally thought that the couple were separated after Amy reportedly demanded a divorce from her husband Andrew in March last year, just weeks after news of their split emerged, but it seemed her wishes changed.
After their second split in August last year, a source told The Sun : ‘It took a lot for Amy to give the marriage another chance but she thought it was worth one final roll of the dice.
‘There is no suggestion he has cheated again, but as far as she is concerned this is it.’
