She added in The Sun: “For me, certainly, it came down to escapism.

I’d had a chance to get away from everything — husband and young child. “I was free to abandon my domestic responsibilities and simply focus on being me.” Ulrika wrote of her romance in reference to Broadchurch actor Andrew Buchan, who has reportedly split from actress wife Amy Nuttall and has now fallen for a co-star.The actor, 44, is believed to now be living with his co-star Leila Farzad, 39, after the pair met while starring in new BBC thriller Better.
