<\/p>\nEmmerdale's Amy Walsh ditched her makeup as she headed to the laundrette this weekend.<\/p>\n
It seems the actress, who plays Tracy Metcalfe on the ITV soap, was taking a bit of a shortcut with her weekend chores to save her previous free time. She headed out to an aptly-named laundrette with her washing. <\/p>\n
The 36-year-old uploaded a photo outside the business, which was named Soap Opera. She could be seen smiling, looking gorgeous as ever with her makeup-free face.<\/p>\n

Amy wrote over the top of the photo: "A very apt name for our local laundrette. Hoping my makeupless face is enough of a disguise. Ain't nobody got time to be washing and drying towels this weekend!"<\/p>\n

And who can blame her for getting some help with her daily duties? The soap star welcomed her first child with her EastEnders actor husband Toby-Alexander Smith in December 2021. <\/p>\n
Amy returned to work from maternity leave earlier this year. But she admitted she was hoping to spend more time with daughter Bonnie, even at work.<\/p>\n
She told The Mirror this summer: "[Tracy] thinks it's a good idea to open up a nursery in the village, so that's me looking after more kids." She went on: "It'll be fun.<\/p>\n

"I've actually asked if Bonnie can be an extra. Then I could see her a bit more! I don't think that would be wise though."<\/p>\n
Amy and her new husband Toby-Alexander first got together in 2020. Their romance was fast-tracked a little, as they moved in together at the start of the Covid lockdown.<\/p>\n
They then announced their engagement in August last year. The couple tied the knot in a ceremony this August.<\/p>\n
