EMMERDALE star Amy Nuttall has taken back her love-rat hubby — who must follow seven strict rules.
Amy, 41, has forgiven Broadchurch actor Andrew Buchan, 44, but said he cannot contact his co-star ex Leila Farzad. Amy also insists on weekly date nights.

Amy was left broken after Andrew ditched her for Leila Farzad, 39
The Emmerdale and Downton actress has dramatically taken him back less than four months after she demanded a divorce.
Amy was left broken in February after Andrew — her husband of 11 years and dad to their two children — ditched her for Leila Farzad, 39, his co-star in BBC crime thriller Better.
But that fizzled out quickly, leaving Andrew begging Amy for another chance.
Her seven non-negotiable terms state Andrew must have no contact with Leila at any time or for any reason.
If he is working away he must check in via FaceTime.
They must have full access to each other’s phones at all times.
And they must adopt the “777 dating rule”.
A source said: “No one thought they could come back from this but Amy has decided to give it one more go.
“She 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.”
Amy has taken on fewer acting roles recently while Andrew’s star has been on the rise in Bafta-winning Broadchurch and The Crown, playing Andrew Parker Bowles.
The source added: “Whilst Andrew has been the breadwinner and Amy has slotted more into the mother role in their household, they will become equals in terms of work.”
HOAR told in February how Andrew had blindsided his wife before Christmas by telling her he was moving out.
Amy had grown suspicious after finding a lingerie gift-set in the wrong size.
She confronted Andrew with receipts and paper records of hotel stays in London when she believed he was away on set.
Andrew admitted he had fallen for Leila.
A source at the time said: “Everyone who knows Andrew and Amy 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.”
By March the romance was over and Leila returned to her hubby and daughter.
