About Martine McCutcheon in brief
Martine Kimberley Sherrie McCutcheon is an English singer, television personality and actress. She made her acting debut in children’s television drama Bluebirds in 1989. In the early 1990s, she had minor success as one third of the pop group Milan. Her role as Tiffany Mitchell in the BBC’s soap opera EastEnders and her role in the 2003 romantic comedy Love Actually brought her stardom. For the former she won the National Television Award, while the latter earned her the Empire and MTV Movie awards. She was written out of EastEnder at the end of 1998 and then embarked on a pop career, this time as a solo artist. Her debut studio album, You Me & Us, peaked at number two in the UK, and spawned the UK number one single \”Perfect Moment\” and two UK top 10 entries, \”I’ve Got You\” and the double-sided \”Talking in Your Sleep\”Love Me. Her pop career stalled because of the poor reception of her 2002 third album, Musicality. She returned to music in 2017 with the album Lost and Found. She released her autobiography Who Does She Think She Is? in 2000. Her portrayal of Eliza Doolittle in My Fair Lady won her a Laurence Olivier Award in 2002.
She is married to Alan Tomlin and has a son, Laurence, with her ex-husband John. She has a half-sister, Barbara Windsor, and a step-brother, Laurence “LJ” Hemmings. Her mother and step-father were both victims of domestic violence, and Martine’s stepfather attempted to kill both her and her mother when she was a child. Martine was born on 14 May 1976 at the Salvation Army Mothers’ Hospital in the London Borough of Hackney. She attended a nursery school in Colchester, Essex, and later the Shacklewell Infants’ School in Hackney, where she performed in her first play Away in a Manger. At the age of 15, she was part of an all-girl group, Milan, with fellow pupils and toured the UK as a warm-up act for Irish singer Enya. She also appeared in an American television commercial for the drink Kool-Aid, which was followed by modelling assignments and parts in television shows. At 16, she played Susan in the Anthony Newly – I Want To Get Off, at the West End Theatre in Bromley, London. She later transferred to the Lyric Theatre in Shaftesbury Avenue.
