Martine Kimberley Sherrie McCutcheon (born Martine Kimberley Sherrie Ponting, 14 May 1976) is an English singer, television personality and actress. She began appearing in television commercials at an early age and made her television debut in the children's television drama "Bluebirds" in 1989. In the early 1990s, she had minor success as one third of the pop group Milan, but it was her role as Tiffany Mitchell in the BBC's soap opera "EastEnders" and her role in the 2003 romantic comedy "Love Actually" that brought her stardom. For the former she won the National Television Award, while the latter earned her the Empire and MTV Movie awards. She was written out of "EastEnders" at the end of 1998 and then embarked on a pop career, this time as a solo artist.
