Martine McCutcheon Wiki Biography

Martine Kimberley Sherrie Ponting was born on 14th May 1976, in Hackney, London England, and is a singer and actress. Even though she is best known as a singer, she has also created a number of roles for television and the big screen. Among others we saw her in the film “Love Actually” by Richard Curtis. McCutcheon has been active in the entertainment industry since 1988.

How much is the net worth of Martine McCutcheon? It has been reported by authoritative sources that the overall size of her wealth is as much as $1.5 million, as of the data presented in early 2018, although in 2013 she went bankrupt. Music, and acting are the main sources of Martine’s net worth.

To begin with, McCutcheon was born when her mother Jenny Tomlin was nineteen, and has a younger brother. Her biological father left her shortly after the birth of the child, and when McCutcheon was nine her mother received the right of sole guardianship over her daughter. At the age of ten, Martine took the surname of her stepfather. McCutcheon wanted to be an artist from an early age, but her family could not pay for the tuition at the Italia Conti Academy of Arts, from which she received an offer. Martine wrote more than two hundred letters to various institutions with requests for financial support, and eventually received sponsorship from the Church of England’s Reeves Foundation.

Concerning her professional career, McCutcheon won her first role in television commercials at the age of 12, and then started working in the model business, plus took episodic roles in television series, such as the police drama “The Bill” aired on the ITV channel. At the age of 15, with two classmates Martine formed the girl group Milan, which turned out to be quite successful at the creative level. She entered the dance charts and even signed a contract for the record, nevertheless, the prospect of appearances in ordinary clubs was not the dream of McCutcheon, and she left that project. In 1994, Martine was offered the role of Tiffany Raymond in the BBC’s popular soap opera “East Enders”. During the project, Tiffany’s role was given more importance in the plot, and the popularity of the actress grew. 22 million viewers watched her last scenes in the series when Tiffany was murdered in a special episode on New Year’s Eve in 1998 – her net worth was now well established.

In 1999, McCutcheon released her first single “Perfect Moment” under the label of Virgin Records, and to the surprise of the critics, the ballad took first place in the British singles charts, and in Italy, Israel, Switzerland and Ireland, the song was also a number one hit. The same year she released her debut album “You, Me & Us” with which she would take second place in the British album charts, and was certified platinum two times. Two more singles followed in the same year – “I’ve Got You” and “Talking in Your Sleep”, both reached top 10 chart places. In 2000, McCutcheon released her second album “Wishing”, which was certified gold, but finished only in 25th place on the UK chart; the singles “I’m Over You” and “On the Radio”, however, reached 2nd and 7th places. Two years later, she released a third album – “Musicality” (2002) – but due to its poor performance her record contract was terminated, and she went on hiatus from music until 2017.

Martine then devoted herself to acting again, participating in television programs, feature films and creating theatre roles. For her interpretation of Eliza Doolittle on stage in “My Fair Lady” she won the Laurence Olivier Award in 2002, then in 2003 the won Empire Award and MTV Movie Award for the Best Newcomer for her role as Natalie in the film “Love Actually” (2003) in which she plays a secretary whose charm is not insensitive to the British Prime Minister played by Hugh Grant.

Recently, the singer released her album “Lost and Found” (2017), yet it did not enter the charts. From 2016 to 2017, she served as a panellist on the show “Loose Women”.

Finally, in the personal life of Martine, she was engaged to DJ Gareth Cooke, however, they broke up in 1996. In 2012, she married singer Jack MacManus, and in 2015 gave birth to a son.

In 2013 Martine was declared bankrupt, owing significant taxes, but has managed to clear her debts.
