A source said: \u201cIt took a lot for Amy to give the marriage another chance but she thought it was worth one final roll of the dice.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere is no suggestion he has cheated again, but as far as she is concerned this is it.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe is obviously gutted but also accepts that their time together has come to an end.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Sun revealed in February that Andrew \u2014 Amy\u2019s husband of 11 years and father of her two children \u2014 had ditched her for Leila Farzad, his co-star in BBC crime<\/span> thriller Better.<\/p>\nThen in July we told how Amy had issued an ultimatum to Andrew, with seven strict rules if they were to get back on track.<\/p>\n
These included full access to each other\u2019s phones and, if he was working away, to check in via FaceTime. <\/p>\n
He was also to have zero contact with Leila.<\/p>\n
At the time a source said: \u201cAmy doesn\u2019t want to throw away over a decade together but at the same time she is far from a pushover.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey will adopt the 7-7-7 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 on holiday \u2014 just the two of you.\u201d<\/p>\n
Amy had become suspicious when she found sexy lingerie shortly before Christmas that was not in her size.<\/p>\n
A source said: \u201cThe penny started to drop over a period of time.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe was away a lot, which wasn\u2019t unusual because of the nature of his work. <\/p>\n
