BREAKING: Martine McCutcheon faces more heartache as she's declared bankrupt a year after split

EastEnders icon Martine McCutcheon has faced more heartache a year after her split from her husband Jack McManus.

The actress, 49, has been declared bankrupt, according to court documents, after a petition was filed for insolvency over a debt to a finance company, official public records reveal. It comes after she was forced to slash the price of her stunning Surrey mansion.

A court document shows the insolvency order took place on 31 of March this year, just a few months after she announced the end of her marriage to Jack, to whom she had been wed for 18 years. Martine and Jack share 10 year old son Rafferty together.
