Martine McCutcheon fans worry that the 'Love Actually' star has lost TOO MUCH weight
Fans expressed concern for actress Martine McCutcheon after she looked "very skinny" in her most recent Instagram post. Martine, 43, who rose to fame as Tiffany on 'EastEnders' and as Natalie in 'Love Actually', has been flaunting her toned body in recent months, notably in exquisite bikini images.
Many of her fans, however, were left 'concerned' after the mother-of-one uploaded a photo of herself in a leather skirt as she posed in a garden. Some advised her to "not drop any more weight" while one wondered aloud, "How did you get so thin so quickly?"

Another wrote: "Beautiful as always but just a bit thin." A third commented: "Don't lose any more weight babe." "Where have you gone? Very worrying how much weight you have lost," a fourth wrote. "You are beautiful, please get help," wrote another.
Martine was seen in a garden while wearing a black leather skirt and a grey striped sweater. She was seen with a large arrangement of flowers in her hand, and smiling at the camera. Martine, who first appeared on children's television when she was a teenager, has previously discussed how growing up in the spotlight made her conscious of her weight at an early age.
"I was always conscious of staying as thin as I could be," she told in a 2016 interview. "It looked better on camera, meant I could fit into size 8 sample sizes and it was easier and more affordable with stylists."
When asked how harsh remarks had an impact on her, she stated she had been body-shamed "loads of times." "People treated me like a piece of meat," Martine continued, "And I can't believe that still happens in this day and age."
When her 'Love Actually' character, Natalie, was taunted about her weight in 2003, her physique became the focus of national attention. Her father refers to her as "plumpy," while other people refer to her as "chubby." '
"God, you weigh a lot!' remarks Hugh Grant's prime minister as he picks her up in the film's climactic minutes.
In later interviews, the actress defended the film, stating that it was intended to show women how beautiful they are the way they are. "Every woman believes there is something wrong with them when, in fact, they are wonderful and lovely just the way they are," she explained.
"[Natalie] was supposed to be the epitome of that, and I believe that point has been overlooked at times." Martine, who debuted a series of dancing fitness videos a decade ago, has grown more active on Instagram in the last year, allowing followers to see just how stunning she is. The actress has been open about how she utilizes Botox to keep her young look, even posting a video of her most recent treatment in August.
Martine talked about how she's learned to enjoy Botox in 2016. She described how her first treatment left her 'looking insane,' but she continued and learned to adore the face modifications. "When I was extremely sick and trying to get better quickly and it didn't work out, it literally showed on my face a lot and I looked destroyed," she explained.
"I was simply looking in the mirror and thinking to myself, 'I've always had lovely skin, I've always had a nice beautiful glow, and it's gone.' 'So I had Botox and didn't like it because it made me seem funny, and then I had it again and Oh my God, I liked it, I absolutely loved it because it didn't look like I wasn't myself anymore; I simply didn't look like a crumpled pillow," she said.
