Martine McCutcheon has won the support of another heartbroken star in the wake of her shock split from husband Jack McManus. The 48-year-old former EastEnders actress was married to singer-songwriter Jack, 40, for 12 years before it was suddenly announced this week that the romance was over. Martine has seemingly been attempting to put a brave face on her predicament by sharing upbeat posts on social media.

And with one of her latest updates, she won support from fellow heartbroken star Alice Evans - who has endured an acrimonious split from her own husband, Ioan Gruffud, 50. On Thursday, Martine shared a photograph of herself smiling in the sunshine with a collection of potted flowers and a happy looking dog in the background. The Love Actually star wrote alongside the snap: "Just had a lovely, sunshine, stroll with Don.

...

He’s so cute - I can’t take it! #lovehimsomuch #fluffball #lookatthatlittleface #furbaby #adorehim #myfurryfriend." She added a number of emojis including paw prints and hearts. Among the followers reacting to the post was 53-year-old 102 Dalmatians star Alice.

Reaching out to Martine to offer her support, the actress wrote: "Thinking about you. Hope you're doing ok," followed by three red heart emojis. Alice and Ioan were married from 2007 until 2023 and share two children together.

Their divorce has been explosively bitter with accusations of bullying and harassment. Ioan has since moved on to propose to Australian actress Bianca Wallace, 31. Meanwh.
