Martine McCutcheon has been showing off her amazing new look on Instagram.
The 45-year-old former EastEnders and Love Actually star has been signed by Elite model agency, the prestigious agency which has represented the likes of Cindy Crawford and Naomi Campbell.
Now she has now also shared the secrets of her glowing complexion and stunning figure and attributes it, in part, to her 80/20 rule.
It hasn't been plain sailing for Martine over the past decade.
She has suffered a number of hidden illnesses, including chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia and Lyme disease, as well as a fertility issue.
But she says she has found ways to manage her health, and is now celebrating her life and 10-year marriage to 37-year-old singer-songwriter Jack McManus.
She told Love Sunday magazine and the Mirror: "I think it takes a long time to work out what your own recipe is."
"It’s taken me such a long time to look through all the stuff that’s out there, and just do what works for me.
"So it’s not as simple as just going on a crazy diet. I just feel like it’s really important to encourage women to just be the best version of themselves."
While Martine says she doesn't follow a particular diet to stay healthy, she says she has a trick to stay in shape.
"The 80/20 rule is what works for me," she said.
"For 80% of my week, I will have mainly just healthy proteins, vegetables and fruit, organic and veggie juices, and Flora ProActiv spread.
"And then I’ll have treats 20% of the time – I’ll have that slice of pizza, chocolate or a G&T to celebrate a friend’s birthday. I’ll do it because I know that for most of the week, I’ve been doing the good bits for my heart."
She also walks to keep fit, taking a 40-minute walk every day.
"I walk with my dogs every day – it’s good for my head and my health," she said.
"Normally I’ll do the school drop-off ready to go in my trainers with the dogs in the back of the car.
"Then I’ll go straight to the forest. When we lived in London, I’d walk to the parks or go on the treadmill in the gym, but it wasn’t as satisfying as it is now.
"Now we live in the Surrey countryside I have a lot more beautiful space around me, where I have that time to breathe. I like to walk for about 40 minutes."
Martine McCutcheon is working with Flora ProActiv to announce its partnership with HEART UK and educate the country on the importance of understanding and testing cholesterol levels.
