EastEnders icon Martine McCutcheon is best known for starring in the hit Christmas movie Love Actually and as Tiffany Mitchell, and today she turns 46.
Born on May 14 in 1976, she stepped into the spotlight just twelve years later when she made her television debut in the children’s television drama Bluebirds in 1989.
In the 1990s she was one third of the pop group Milan, which led her to some success.
But it was her role as Tiffany in the BBC soap and then her role in Love Actually that catapulted her to ultimate fame.
As well as embarking on an exciting TV and film career, she has also dabbled in music, with her debut studio album, You Me & Us peaking at number two in the UK back in 1999.
Her third album in 2002 didn’t do as well as she had hoped, which led to a musical hiatus until 2017 when she released her fourth album Lost and Found.
Today Martine can be found living her best life on Instagram with more than half a million followers.
To commemorate the Hackney-born star’s birthday, we thought we’d take a look back at her hottest Instagram snaps – so keep scrolling!
Topless display
Looking incredible after sunning herself abroad last summer, Martine took to Instagram to share an ultra sultry snap on Instagram.
Only wearing a pair of black briefs, the former EastEnders beauty stood completely topless while snapping up a storm in front of a full-length mirror.
“Can you move the phone over a little,” one fan joked in the comments section, while other swooned over her “natural beauty”.
“Natural beauty, just perfect,” someone else commented, while another said: “Wow.!! You look fantastic. Lovely tan.”
Beach babe
Looking like a beach goddess while swinging on a swing on a sandy beach, Martine posed up a storm for her fans.
Wearing a black bikini and chic kimono, the Love Actually star crossed her legs and smiled for the camera.
Blue sea and white sand surrounded her while she swung on the seat and enjoyed some downtime.
Naughty but nice
In a super cheeky snap posed on her Instagram, Martine posed on her bed while donning just a white shirt.
With her hair pulled up into a messy bun, the fresh-faced star smiled and laughed while posing for a candid snap.
Holding a cup of tea with her initial on the mug, the brunette beauty penned a caption alongside the snap which read: “Came back to bed for a cuppa! #naughtybutnice.”
“You look absolutely gorgeous, glowing xx,” one fan swooned.
“Still as gorgeous as ever. No aires or graces, just pure beauty,” added another.
Plunging silk gown
For a glitzy event Martine donned a plunging black silk gown, that trailed down to the ground.
The figure-hugging ensemble looked incredible on Martine’s small frame, hugging her curves and accentuating her ample assets.
With her brunette hair down and framing her face, she looked incredibly glamorous.
“Wow what a dress you’ve nailed it from head to toe… Gorgeous…. and l love the big mirror,” commented one fan.
Another added: “Wow. You look completely and utterly stunning Martine!”
While a third penned: “I really hope you felt amazing on this occasion, you look so divine and graceful Martine.”
Leggy display
Donning a green and white floral dress, Martine sat on a seat in front of a floor-length mirror and smiled for a quick summery snap.
With her legs on full display – they seemed to go on forever, which was sure to leave fans feeling hot under the collar.
Marking the end of the summer she penned: “Get those last rays of the sunshine people! I’m making the most of wearing little summer dresses and flip flops before it all turns autumnal on us for good!”
One fan commented: “Your toes are stunning!”
Another added: “The pointing of the toes again.”
A third penned: “Beautiful beautiful legs,” while a fourth cheekily said: “Can we have more leg pics please?”
Wrapped in ruffles
Looking magnificent wearing a sparkly dress, Martine showed off her incredibly svelte figure for a night out.
The sequinned mini dress was paired with a pair of polka dot tights, black shoes and a chic up-do.
Posing for a quick photo in her garden before heading out, the actress and singer posed for the snap while smiling sweetly with a minimal makeup look.
Pins for days
“My happy place… Music playing, Rafferty playing and laughing & Jack making a Yummy BBQ for lunch whilst I have an ice cold drink and some vitamin D #goodtimes #sunshine #sundayvibes.”
