Amy Nuttall is thought to be back with her husband, Andrew Buchan, who allegedly cheated.
The 40-year-old, best known for playing housemaid Ethel in Downton Abbey, was left heartbroken earlier this year when her husband Andrew Buchan walked out.
Broadchurch star Andrew, 44, is said to have left Amy, who he shares two children with, to start a new relationship with actress Leila Farzad.
Andrew and Leila - who was also married - met when they were both starring in the primetime BBC crime drama Better.
In the show, Leila's high-ranking police character, DI Lou Slack, had a corrupt relationship with crime leader Col McHugh, played by Andrew.

A source close to Amy, who also appeared in Emmerdale, is also said to have told the publication: “Andrew has come 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.”
In images obtained by the outlet, the pair were seen at their marital home in Buckinghamshire where he was wearing a gold wedding ring.
The Mirror has contacted reps for Amy and Andrew for further comment on this story.

Andrew is said to have delivered the news a few days before Christmas, but their split was only made public in February this year.

“Amy and the kids have been hit very hard by this, as you can imagine. They are all crushed,” a pal source told MailOnline.
“One minute they were living an idyllic family life in a beautiful house and the next, Andrew walks out on them.”
In March, Amy is thought to have asked Andrew for a divorce following his affair revelation with his co-star.
But if the latest reports are true, she could be about to give their 17-year relationship a second chance.

Leila has also been spotted with husband James Maizels in recent weeks with both still wearing their wedding rings, suggesting they are trying to repair their own marriage.
Neither Leila nor Andrew have spoken publicly about their rumoured affair.
