There's no denying that it's been a tough few months for actress turned reality star Tori Spelling.

The mother-of-four has seen her personal life unravel before her eyes and in front of camera in spectacular fashion.

But on Saturday she showed she was made of sterner stuff as she put her troubles to one side to take two of her brood out for the day.

Business as usual: Tori leaves her Encino home with two of her four children, Liam and Stella

Although she failed to break into a smile, she looked tanned and healthy with her platinum blonde hair immaculately groomed.

Dressed in ripped, denim shorts, a white tank top and a long, patterned chiffon shirt, she walked to her car with children Liam and Stella with a booster seat in each hand.

There was no sign of husband Dean McDermott at the family home in Encino, Los Angeles.

Her appearance was a world away from the the image of her in gut-wrenching scenes aired on a preview of the upcoming episode of her reality show, True Tori, just twenty four hours earlier.

On Friday, Lifetime released a trailer in which both husband and wife lay their emotions bare.

In the sneak peak viewers watched with horror as both Tori and her husband of eight years grew hysterical as they tried to resolve their marital problems.

Tori, who turned 41 years-old on Friday, is clearly struggling to stay in the marriage which has been rocked by Dean's cheating.

Both break down and sob as actor Dean, 47, admits: 'I don't deserve any of this. I don't deserve this beautiful family.'

Broken Tori replied: 'I have nothing left.'

The pair  have four children - Liam, aged seven, Stella, aged five, Hattie, aged two, and Finn, aged 20 months.

If she really cares about her children, why is she using her car-crash marriage for her reality TV show? Sorry, hard to find much sympathy for her except in the sense that I do feel sorry for anyone so damaged as to forget all sense of dignity and privacy. Who would be willing to put such young children through this?

And who aired the marriage problems in the first place? She did. For money

There is nothing brave on fakery, the innocent kids will be brave when they'll be confronted at school by classmates.

She must be desperate for money,attention or both for her to do this show. She obviously has no self respect or respect for her kids to put this out for public consumption.

I am embarrassed for her. I can't imagine having the whole entire universe know what a loser I am. She just needs to divorce and find something better to do with her life. How depressing.

Tori - men come and go. You have your kids. You are blessed. I hope in time you will all heal. Cheaters have very low self esteem, so I include Dean in that as well.

i'm really starting to despise reality tv. it takes a bunch of nobodies or a bunch of has beens and dumps them right on the unsuspecting public's lap. this woman's career was/is over. she had the unfortunate luck of being type cast as a rich hollywood teenager (quite a stretch being aaron spelling's daughter) in the very popular 90210 show and that is pretty much where her acting career was given birth and where it died. now in order for her to stay relevant in hollywood she has to bare her soul in public. how sick of a society have we become?

This whole situation is bizarre to me. Her mother is apparently sitting on $500 to $600 million dollars. I can only imagine Tori resorted to doing this show because she was desperate for money. Not that that is an excuse, but why else would she agree to do this. I find it hard to believe that it is love that is keeping Tori in this marriage at this point. Why wouldn't her mom help her out. If she's worried about Dean getting any money, I'm sure there are ways they could get around that until a divorce is finalized. There is no way I would sit by and watch my daughter humiliate herself like this. It should never have come to this.
