Martine McCutcheon (born Martine Kimberley Sherrie Ponting on 14 May 1976) is an English singer, television personality and Laurence Olivier Award-winning actress. McCutcheon had minor success as one third of the pop group Milan in the early 1990s; however, it was her role as Tiffany Mitchell in BBC's EastEnders that made her a household name in the UK in 1995. McCutcheon left the series at the end of 1998 to embark on a pop career, this time as a solo artist. She had international success, reaching No. 1 in 5 countries with her debut single Perfect Moment. She released three albums to varying degrees of success, but her pop career stalled due to the poor reception of her third album in 2002. She has since appeared in various television programmes, in films such as Love Actually as 'Natalie', and on stage in My Fair Lady, where her portrayal of Eliza Doolittle won her a Laurence Olivier Award in 2002. She released her autobiography, Who Does She Think She Is? in 2000.
McCutcheon was born as Martine Kimberley Sherri Ponting at the Salvation Army Mother's Hospital in Hackney, London, when her mother, Jenny Tomlin, was 20. She endured a turbulent early childhood due to the abusive and irrational behaviour of her drug addict father, Thomas Hemmings. Her earliest memory of her father is him dangling her over a balcony by her ankles, 30 feet up in the air, threatening to drop her unless her mother did what he wanted. Despite Hemmings leaving when McCutcheon was 2 years old, he would return periodically to threaten her mother so her early years were spent running and hiding in order to escape him. When McCutcheon was nine, her mother won sole custody and an injunction was made against Hemmings seeing McCutcheon until she was 18.

Martine McCutcheon - I'm Over You (official music video)
Ooh,
Ah, yeah
Someone found a letter you wrote me
On the radio
And they told the world
Just how you felt
It must have fallen out
Of a hole in your old brown overcoat
They never said your name
But I knew just who they meant
Woah
Oh, I was so surprised and shocked
And I wondered too
If by chance you'd
Heard it for yourself
I never told a soul just how I've
Been feeling over you
But they said it really loud
They said it on the air
On the radio
Woah
On the radio
Woah
On the radio
Woah
On the radio
Woah
Now, now
Don't it kind of strike you sad
When you hear our song
Things were not the same since
We broke up last June
The only thing that I wanted to hear
Is that you love me still
And that you think you'll be coming
Home real soon
Woah
Oh yeah it kinda made me feel proud
When I heard you say
(Ooh)
You couldn't find the words to say it yourself
(No, no, no, no, no)
And now in my heart I know I can say
What I really feel
'Cos they said it really loud
They said it on the air
On the radio
Woah
On the radio
Woah
On the radio
Woah
On the radio
Woah
If you think that love isn't found
On the radio
Then tune right in, you made find the love you lost
(Ooh woah)
'Cos now I'm sitting here
With the man I sent away long ago
He finally realised
He said it really loud
On the radio
Woah
On the radio
Woah
On the radio
Woah
