Yes, there's Love Actually and My Fair Lady but I will always love Martine for being a great soap star
In two separate newspaper stories, on Valentine's Day, I discovered that Love Actually had been voted the most romantic film ever and that Martine McCutcheon (one of its stars) had been declared bankrupt.
There seemed something glamorously old-fashioned about the contrast. One would assume that the "most romantic film ever" is something black and white from decades ago and can imagine reading that its leading lady is in dire straits today: wizened, skint, long forgotten by the studio machine that milked her youth, long widowed from her marriage to some ghastly "roistering" 1940s heart-throb who drank and screwed around to the delight of Hollywood.
Love Actually seems too recent for its star to have hit the skids, doesn't it? As is often the way with "best ever" polls, the list...

Martine McCutcheon on trying to survive as an actress – and why the main character in her debut novel is undisguisedly her
'You will be nice to her, won't you?" Martine McCutcheon's somewhat overprotective publicist says to me when our interview ends. They are feeling a bit bruised because actress-turned-singer-turned-first-time-novelist McCutcheon has just been bashed up at an awards ceremony by screenwriter Lynda La Plante for having the temerity to write a book, The Mistress. "Martine's a very sweet lady, but have you read the book?" La Plante told the Daily Mail. "It's a load of c***. She'll have a lot of publicity, but it's the biggest load of rubbish."

La Plante's intervention produced a wave of articles attacking celebrity authors – Katie Price (aka Jordan), Kerry Katona, Ulrika Jonsson, and now McCutcheon – who, it was argued, were taking the...
