Soap star Amy – who played Chloe Atkinson in ITV’s Emmerdale – is barely able to speak about what has reportedly happened, MailOnline claims.
A friend reportedly told the website: “It’s been very hard for Amy. She’s been crying virtually every day since it happened and she’s struggling to cope with things. She can’t even bring herself to talk about it as she’s still trying to make sense of it all.”
Additionally, another friend highlighted Amy was apparently taken completely by surprised by alleged developments.
They reportedly added to the MailOnline: “Amy and the kids have been hit very hard by this, as you can imagine. They are all crushed. One minute they were living an idyllic family life in a beautiful house and the next, Andrew walks out on them.
“I’ve seen Amy a few times and when I do, she just bursts into tears. She’s been doing a lot of crying and is still grieving the end of the marriage.”
