'I'M NOT SORRY FOR MY OWN OPINIONS'

Sunday Express

December 07, 2025

Martine McCutcheon on feeling liberated as she approaches 50, how becoming a mum has changed how she sees Christmas and whether she'd ever return to EastEnders

She stole every scene in EastEnders, topped the charts with her debut album, won an Olivier Award for her West End performance in My Fair Lady and headlined everyone's favourite Christmas movie. Now Love, Actually star Martine McCutcheon is gearing up for a new challenge - turning 50.

Alongside her enormous success, Martine has also endured her fair share of hardship. Last year the mum-of-one announced her separation from Jack McManus after 12 years of marriage, in 2022 her beloved brother LJ passed away aged just 31, and she's estranged from her mother Jenny. But with Christmas coming up fast and a new year on the horizon, Martine is looking forwards, not backwards.
