Martine McCutcheon looks slimmer than ever as she poses in a swimsuit on luxury family holiday to Dubai

MARTINE McCutcheon has been enjoying a trip away in Dubai with her family, and looked super glam and slimmer than ever while posing in a swimsuit.

The brunette beauty, 46, has been sharing an insight into her trip on social media, with her son Rafferty and husband Jack.

And in one snap, Martine could be seen sitting on a boat with Dubai in the background while wearing black swimwear and a life jacket.

Rafferty sat in the middle and Jack on the other side in brightly coloured swimming shorts.

Martine penned: “Last couple of days on our short but very sweet trip to Dubai for some much needed sun, sea and sad.”

And it looks like the trip hasn’t been without luxury, with a photo frame made from chocolate awaiting the family in their hotel room, with a sweet snap of them in the centre.

Martine said: “What a gorgeous and thoughtful touch! Champagne & Flowers too… Feeling very special. Thank you.”

The Love Actually star has also been sharing beautiful family photos from inside the lavish trappings of their hotel.

She also posed for a mirror selfie and showed off her tan and stunning look in a black dress.

There’s no denying she looks completely different compared to when she starred as Natalie in the Christmas classic Love Actually back in 2003.

A colleague refers to Natalie as “the chubby girl” and comments on her “sizable arse and huge thighs”. And even Natalie’s dad refers to her as “plumpy”.

And, although Martine was clearly far from any of those things at the time of the film, she has slimmed down in recent years.

Former EastEnders actress Martine previously confessed that she was a fan of the Cambridge Weight Plan diet.

She said: “I’ve spent so long fighting to feel healthy again, I didn’t want to do anything too drastic that was going to make me feel lousy.

“But after having Rafferty I found it so tough to lose my baby weight and that does start to affect your self-esteem.”
