Privacy NoticeMartine McCutcheon has sparked speculation she’s reflecting on her split after a social media detox dedicated to “self care”. The 48 year old star of Love Actually surprised her followers when she revealed earlier this year that her marriage to the 40 year old musician Jack McManus had ended after a 12-year romance. On Tuesday October 1, the ex-‘EastEnders’ actress shared a snap on Instagram looking cosy in an oversized coat and beanie, fresh-faced from a pampering session. Posting videos and snaps on her feed, the one-time ‘ Loose Women ‘ panellist opened up about carving out some me-time amidst a hectic schedule.

Her Instagram Stories caption read: “Hello! ! I’m not sure if I’ve been on here or not! I’ve been so busy! “. She continued, “Had a minute to myself to today for some much needed self care. Thank you for your beautiful skin work @drsenna.” Martine also expressed gratitude for the support from her fans: “I’ve had so many amazing messages. Thank you! I try to read every single one of them. PS Is it me? Or do I look like I’m being swallowed up by my coat? “, reports the Mirror. Later, Martine posted a thought-provoking quote which could hint at musings over her recent marital breakdown. The message read: “Sometimes, it’s not about what you’re doing, but who you’re doing it with. Who makes you feel seen, even on your quietest days? Who lifts you up when the world feels heavy? And who stays, not because they have to, but because they want to? Those are the people who make life feel like home.” Sharing the post on her Stories, she added her own thoughts, penning: “Spot on… How lovely.”

The former EastEnders star continued to engage with her followers by posting a lively video on her main feed. Grooving in her car seat to the tune of The Swing Out Sister’s hit, Breakout, she captioned: “I love this song so much! ! However, right now, I’m trying to ‘Breakout’ of this jacket! It’s swallowing me up whole dammit! Here’s a little insta versus reality for you..” Her fans were overjoyed to see the star beaming with joy and confidence, with some reaching out to her directly in the comments. One commented: “I’ve always adored this song too! The singer was divine! As are you and hope you are doing okay! ” To which Martine warmly responded: “I’m really well, thank you! ” accompanied by a pair of praying hands emoji. When another fan queried, “Is it a zara jacket? ” Martine clarified: “Asos” followed by a red heart emoji. Other followers expressed relief at seeing her snugly dressed for the cold snap, especially after concern arose last week when she stepped out in a summer frock amidst a downpour, with temperatures struggling to hit double digits.Story SavedYou can find this story in  My Bookmarks.Or by navigating to the user icon in the top right.Follow OK!
