She’s going down the legal route and will get everything she’s entitled to.’\u00a0<\/p>\n Andrew was thought to have left the family home after their affair came to light and moved in with Leila after meeting her while working together on the BBC series.<\/p>\n Leila married her husband James Maizels in 2013, and they have a daughter who was born in 2014.<\/p>\n Andrew’s alleged affair with Leila was exposed after Amy discovered that he had purchased racy lingerie in a size that was not her own.<\/p>\n Friends claimed the actor informed Amy of his desire to terminate the marriage shortly before Christmas.<\/p>\n A source told The Sun: ‘The penny started to drop over a period of time. He was away a lot, which wasn’t unusual because of the nature of his work, but at one point Amy realised he had been staying in hotels very near to home \u2014 and wondered why.<\/p>\n ‘As time moved on, there were some tell-tale signs that he had become close to Leila \u2014 just something in his mannerisms and in their social media posts together.<\/p>\n ‘But the final straw was the lingerie \u2014 that’s what clinched it. Amy just knew instinctively that it wasn’t meant for her.’<\/p>\n Amy, who had been so ‘crushed’ by the end of her marriage that she was crying almost every day, struggled to raise a smile as she was seen running errands in Buckinghamshire days later.<\/p>\n Speaking to MailOnline about the split shortly afterwards, she fought back tears and confessed: ‘I can’t talk about it. I’m sorry, I can’t say anything.’<\/p>\n A source said at the time: ‘It was a huge shock. Amy is heartbroken.’<\/p>\n Andrew was said to have told Amy their marriage was over ahead of the festive period, leaving the actress devastated and their friends in a state of shock.<\/p>\n The source added: ‘For Andrew to walk away from his family was a huge shock to us all \u2013 and Amy is heartbroken. Everyone who knows them thought they were going to be together forever.<\/p>\n ‘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.<\/p>\n ‘Nobody is quite sure of the exact details, but Andrew has clearly had his head turned pretty dramatically.’ MailOnline has contacted a representative for further comment.\u00a0<\/p>\n In January, Leila took to social media to share a gushing tribute to Andrew in a montage featuring the entire Better cast and crew.<\/p>\n Her caption read: ‘This lot.
