Martine McCutcheon looks slimmer than ever as she poses for mirror selfie and reveals house renovation
MARTINE McCutcheon looked incredible as she slipped into a summery white vest and baggy boyfriend jeans for a mirror selfie.
The actress’s home renovation is in full swing and the progress was visible in the background of Martine’s shot.
The EastEnders icon, 47, wore a pair of shades, her hair in an updo and tilted her head to the side for her photo.
Giving fans a progress update, she said: “The builders have been here again today – Plaster all over the walls and I kinda like it! I’ve moved house A LOT! I’m obsessed with plaster! I love the smell and consistency – wet and dry… See? I’m not normal!
“We have a long way to go with things – I can’t wait to share more with you but I’m really starting to see my vision for our home come together. I’m in love with our tiled floor we’ve had done already!
“Every time I come downstairs I smile! I’m realising that there are so many beautiful styles and ideas out there to distract me though!
“As an actress, I love to dip in to different styles with fashion and interiors but longer term, I think it’s good to stick with what you truly love and also work with what suits the house… Even if it means scrapping loads of ideas off Pinterest and keeping it simple!”
She then turned her attention to her outfit, saying: “Today I wanted to wear things mega comfy, chilled and cool. Trying to take it easy despite the crazy building work going on!”
Followers loved the look as well as the black and white tiles under her feet.
One commented: “Martine you look fabulous.”
Another posted: “You’re looking stunning. I’m doing the same diet you’ve done and you inspire me to keep going. Thank you.”
The star previously hinted at a lifestyle revamp and confessed that she was a fan of the Cambridge Weight Plan diet.
She said: “I’ve spent so long fighting to feel healthy again, I didn’t want to do anything too drastic that was going to make me feel lousy.
“But after having Rafferty [her son] I found it so tough to lose my baby weight and that does start to affect your self-esteem.”
The Perfect Moment singer, who gave birth to son Rafferty in 2015, also said she found it helpful to have a one-on-one consultant.
“My loss was a tiny bit slower than the average person but to be honest I expected that as many diets/food plans didn’t work for me at all as the Lyme Disease and ME can really play havoc with how your system works,” she previously told OK! magazine.
Martine was diagnosed with ME, otherwise known as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, in 2011 and later revealed she had been diagnosed with Lyme disease.
She also suffers from Fibromyalgia, which causes pain all over the body.
Meanwhile, Martine received a swell of support from fans when she opened up on her anxiety as a symptom of the peri-menopause.
She shared a candid post about her anxiety with her followers on Instagram and told how it made her feel like she had “lost my mind.”
The star then revealed that she wanted to raise awareness about the condition, and she is feeling much better.
Martine said: “I wanted to share this, just incase any of you out there feel the same and feel scared or worried – You aren’t alone!
“I’m pleased to report after going through a phase of not even feeling confident enough to drive (That’s SO not me!) that I’m now feeling much better and I’m working my way back to my own “normality.”
