Martine McCutcheon Declared Bankrupt Second Time Months After Marriage Split

Martine McCutcheon, the actress known for EastEnders and Love Actually, has been declared bankrupt for the second time, less than a year after her separation from husband Jack McManus. The bankruptcy order was issued in March at the County Court in Guildford, Surrey, following a petition filed by a finance company called LDF Finance over an unspecified debt. This financial difficulty came shortly after McCutcheon and McManus sold their Surrey family home at a reduced price to facilitate a faster sale. Additionally, McCutcheon's music company, Raven Music Ltd, was recently wound up due to unpaid tax bills exceeding £175,000, compounding her financial troubles. The bankruptcy was filed under her married name, Martine McManus, despite her being formally single at the time. Throughout these challenges, McCutcheon has sought to maintain a positive public presence, focusing on her son Rafferty's wellbeing.
