In 1999, Martine McCutcheon was the darling of British soap, thanks to her role as Tiffany Mitchell in Eastenders. So when she decided to leave the show to pursue a musical career it was inevitable that her first single, a cover version of Polish singer Edyta Gorniak's Perfect Moment, went straight to No. 1.
It seems that Martine McCuthcheon had finally arrived when Dawn French parodied her in a Christmas version of French & Saunders.

Sadly, after a few hit singles, a stint in Love, Actually and a role as bridesmaid (to Michael Jackson's best man, no less) in Liza Minnelli's ill-fated wedding to David Gest, success was not to be for Martine so, perhaps, one day we may see her miraculously re-appear at the Old Vic (perhaps she did not die from being hit by the car in Albert Square but was actually in a coma and frozen in cryo until they could get rid of abusive hubby Grant - who knows, stranger things have happened in Albert Square) ... ermmm, that's nice!
