Amy Nuttall has sparked speculation her marriage with with cheating husband Andrew Buchan is on the rocks again.
The Emmerdale actress, 42, ditched her wedding ring and looked emotional as she headed out on Saturday – the day after their 12th anniversary.
Amy previously took back Andrew, 45, back for the third time – despite him leaving her to move in with his Better co-star Leila Farzad last year.
In pictures obtained by The Sun, the Downton Abbey star cut a casual figure in a blue padded jacket which she teamed with a pair of denim jeans, but her ring was noticeably absent.
MailOnline have contacted both Amy and Andrew’s representatives for comment.

Amy and Andrew first split in December 2022 when he left her for his Better co-star Leila, with the affair becoming public knowledge the following February 2023.
But just weeks later, Leila returned to her husband James Maizels, while Andrew went back to his family, with The Sun reporting the actor told a friend: ‘We’re healing.’
In July, it was claimed 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.’
Amy is renowned for playing Chloe Atkinson in Emmerdale from 2000 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.
