Martine: Why I didn’t dare bare

Martine McCutcheon ducked the Loose Women swimwear photoshoot as she did not want to put her flaws on show.

The actress says it clashed with a campaign for her new single that has her flawlessly presented.

Promoting her music comeback after 15 years, she says: “I didn’t want to show off my stretch marks and my bad bits. I didn’t feel brave enough. They did a great thing, they looked brilliant.

“I had the record coming out and knew I wanted to look great. It was against the grain, showing all my flaws.” COMEBACK McCutcheon
