Martine McCutcheon shares video clips on Mallorca holiday after CFS flare up
Martine McCutcheon has claimed she could be cancelled due to her cheeky humour getting her into trouble.
The 47-year-old actress was asked about cancel culture in a new interview in which she also addressed a return to EastEnders.
Quizzed on the topic, she spilled: “To be honest I’ve probably said so many things, because I grew up in the public eye, there’s probably a list as long as my arm.
“You kind of have to have a big sense of humour and you have to learn to deal with things with grace and take it on the chin when it’s your responsibility, smile and dismiss it when it’s not.”
The discussion on cancel culture has grown in recent years and is used to refer to a culture in which those who are deemed to have acted or spoken in an unacceptable manner are potentially boycotted or shunned.

Martine is best known for starring in EastEnders from 1995 until her on-screen death in 1999, and romantic comedy Love Actually four years later.
14 years on from playing Tiffany Mitchell, the actress has said she wouldn’t want to return to the soap.
Speaking to the Mail Online, she said: “It was such a special thing to be a part of and it was really rare to be well-known in those days. It wasn’t about being a celebrity, it was that you were a soap star or a movie star.”
A return now, she added, “would feel like going back to a university or college where no one that you was with was there anymore”.
Aside from acting, Martine returned to her singing roots and released her album Lost and Found in 2017.

Four years later, she appeared on The Masked Singer and was unveiled as Swan.
Away from fame, however, the actress has dealt with chronic fatigue syndrome (ME), a serious and long-term illness that causes extreme tiredness, since 2011.
She was then diagnosed with Lyme disease, an infectious bacterial infection that is passed on from being bitten by an infected tick.
Last week, the mother-of-one opened up about being hospitalised on her husband Jack McManus’ birthday last year, due to her condition.
The actress recalled feeling “so dizzy” and not being able to stand up which left Jack to “hold the fort”.
This year, the pair made up for the lost time and celebrated his birthday in style.
Alongside a picture of her and her spouse enjoying their evening on Instagram, she wrote as part of a lengthy caption: “His birthday was pretty rubbish, so I’m SO grateful and glad we got to enjoy this one… And that we got to see some friends!
“I’ve missed them so much!”
Martine went on to say she now had to plan things “pretty last minute” as she didn’t know how her symptoms would be.
