Kissing co-stars: Martine McCutcheon

Kissing co-stars: Martine McCutcheon

Actress Martine McCutcheon is no stranger to the onscreen kiss – but on this occasion she locks lips with a female co-star, all in the name of her art of course.
Martine is seen here kissing a woman on the set of Moving Wallpaper, ITV’s behind-the-scenes sitcom about the making of soap Echo Beach.
Martine’s character Susan (from Echo Beach) is “secretly filmed” by a “mole” cameraman while she’s complaining about kissing techniques with production assistant Mel (from Moving Wallpaper) played by Liz Berrington.

And in an attempt to perfect her technique, she grabs Mel and pulls her in for for a demonstration.
Martine McCutcheon has declared that she is delighted with the reception of her new TV show, Moving Wallpaper/Echo Beach.
Speaking at the South Bank Show Awards, she said: “I’m really thrilled and I know that ITV are really happy with it.
“Apparently they’re really happy with the audience that they’ve reached which is a younger audience. I think they’re just waiting for it to go from strength to strength hopefully.”
In the soap Echo Beach, Martine plays housewife Susan Penwarden and the actress revealed she can’t wait to go back to film more.
“We just all want to film together again because we absolutely genuinely got on like a house on fire in Cornwall,” she said.
“I don’t think it’s ever been the same since we left.”
She added that whilst she doesn’t read the press, she thinks positive criticism is important.
“There’s always something that you can enhance on,” she said.
“There’s always something that you can do to make a show better and I’m sure the producers and ITV will take on board any relevant comments and make it work.”

When her dream of conquering Hollywood failed to materialise, Martine McCutcheon was forced to look a little closer to home for her next big break.
Topping up her tan in the Caribbean sun – ahead of her British television comeback – the 31-year-old actress proves she is once again riding on the crest of a wave.

The former EastEnders star, who is appearing in ITV1’s new surf-based soap Echo Beach, happily slipped into character – and a bikini – during her latest holiday in Barbados.
Accompanied by her new boyfriend it was most definitely a case of life imitating art as the actress, wearing her hair loose and dark designer sunglasses, frolicked on the island’s exclusive west coast before stopping off for an al fresco lunch.
“Martine looked in fine fettle and was having a very energetic beach-side morning,” said a fellow holiday maker.
“She showed off a curvy but toned physique and certainly didn’t receive any complaints from her boyfriend who could hardly keep his eyes off her.
“The two of them spent much of the day kissing and cuddling in the sea, and seemed oblivious to everyone else on the beach.”.

Miss McCutcheon, who moved to LA shortly after her popular EastEnders character Tiffany was killed off eight years ago, famously claimed she had been described by casting agents as ‘England’s answer to Jennifer Lopez’.
However, aside from an appearance in the hit movie Love Actually, her Tinseltown career failed to take off and she recently returned to live back in the UK full-time.
But early reviews for her latest TV project, in which she stars alongside ex-Neighbours actor Jason Donovan, have been positive and the post-watershed soap, set in a fictional town in Cornwall, is expected to be one of ITV1’s biggest hits of the year.
The 12-part drama is being accompanied by a behind-the-scenes comedy show, Moving Wallpaper, which follows the show’s fantasy production team’s trials and tribulations in getting the series made.

It promises to mark a career revival for Miss McCutcheon, whose most notable work last year was the release of a fitness DVD.
Speaking about her health, she recently said: “There’s been an awful lot of pressure on me to look thin and sometimes that hasn’t been how my body’s meant to be naturally.
“I’m a typical hourglass shape and I have to keep my curves in check. I don’t want someone talking about my weight, I want someone talking about my performance.
“I know these women in the industry who say, ‘I have a fast metabolism’ and ‘I do eat’. It’s rubbish!
“Most of them don’t eat very much, work out like you wouldn’t believe and are paranoid as hell. I think the most beautiful thing about a woman is when she’s naturally gorgeous and doesn’t look like she’s trying too hard.
“I hate that skinny look.”.
