Emmerdale actress Anna Nightingale confirmed Andrea Tate is about to make a heartbreaking discovery in upcoming scenes, as her marriage falls apart at the seams.
Upon Leyla Harding’s recommendation, Andrea has fled the Yorkshire dales to give cheating hubby Jamie Tate (Alexander Lincoln) a taste of his own medicine, after learning about his sordid affair.
However, in upcoming scenes, her pal Leyla (Roxy Shahidi) will convince her to return to the village – only for Andrea to witness something devastating play out.
Making her way through the village streets, she sees Jamie and Belle Dingle (Eden Taylor Draper) chatting with one another, and realises they are actually in love.
Speaking to Digital Spy, actress Anna revealed Andrea’s discovery will shock her to the core, realising her marriage is broken beyond repair.

She said: “I think it’s the first moment that Andrea realises that Jamie loves this other woman. There’s more to it and she realises that she is alone for the first time.
“All kinds of thoughts go through her head and whether she is fit to be a mother to Millie in that moment. She knows that Jamie is a good father, and she doesn’t know what she’s going to do, so she just runs.”
The soap star also hinted the discovery could drive a wedge through Andrea’s friendship with Leyla, realising Jamie and Belle have been free to pursue their relationship in private.

She said: “At the beginning, Andrea is angry at Leyla for that, because she was convinced that she was coming back to her husband at least being worried about their safety.
“If anything, it has probably brought them closer together.”
Anna doesn’t approve of Andrea’s decision to leave little Millie behind and instead suggested the heartbroken mother should turn to her friends for support.

She added: “I wouldn’t have suggested leaving her child. My advice would be that Andrea is not alone and she should look to her friends.
“Does she have another network of people that could help her out? She just needs to dig deep and find some strength to be a mum and look after herself.”
Can Andrea ever mend her broken heart?
Emmerdale airs on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 7pm.
