Martine McCutcheon
Summary
Martine McCutcheon (born Martine Kimberley Sherrie Ponting; 14 May 1976) is an English singer, television personality and Laurence Olivier Award-winning actress. McCutcheon had minor success as one third of the pop group Milan in the early 1990s; however, it was her role as Tiffany Mitchell in BBC's EastEnders that made her a household name in the UK in 1995. McCutcheon left the series at the end of 1998 to embark on a pop career, this time as a solo artist. She had international success, reaching #1 in 5 countries with her debut single "Perfect Moment". She released three albums to varying degrees of success, but her pop career stalled due to the poor reception of her third album in 2002.

The Hard Sell: Müller Yoghurt
One thing that links yoghurt adverts is the fact that they're about yoghurt. Yeo Valley has its boyband of dairy farmers, Petit Filous has its gang of pre-teen yoghurt-munchers and even Activia has dear old Martine McCutcheon rubbing her belly and roaring "Yo-GHURT! Yo-GHURT! Yo-GHURT!" over and over again, directly into the camera, like some sort of distressingly threatening yoghurt zombie.

Stuart Heritage's Screen burn: Spooks - from Media Guardian
'Unlike in 24, nobody minds if Harry Pearce doesn't nip to the bog mid-scene in Spooks'When 24 finally drowned in a puddle of its own ridiculousness earlier this year, few tears were shed.
