Martine McCutcheon sent temperatures soaring as she shared a racy topless throwback snap to her Instagram Story on Thursday.
The former EastEnders star, 49, looked sensational as she wore nothing but a pair of high-waisted black bottoms, covering her modesty with her phone.
Flaunting her bottom as she leaned against a wall, Martine captioned the sizzling throwback snap: ‘Take me back to the sun and sea… This lady needs her Vitamin D!’
Martine announced she had split from her singer husband Jack McManus, 41, in October 2024 and 11 months later, Daily Mail revealed that Martine was declared bankrupt.
The actress, who appeared in the popular Christmas movie Love Actually, filed a petition for her insolvency over a debt to a finance company, official public records revealed at the time.
Martine’s financial woes camafter her very public split from husband Jack, with whom she shares a ten-year-old son.

Martine and Jack married in a lavish event at Lake Como in Italy in 2012.
Her bankruptcy was issued just two months after Martine and the musician sold their family home they had shared, a five-bedroom detached home in Surrey, for £1,355,000, as they went their separate ways.
The bankruptcy order was made in her married name – Martine McManus – despite her being formally single by then.
It was issued in March at the County Court in Guildford, Surrey, following a petition filed by a company called LDF Finance to whom she owed an unspecified sum of money.
But that wasn’t the only financial blow to strike her soon after the marriage split: her company, Raven Music Ltd, was also wound up just three months ago at the request of HMRC due to unpaid tax bills, Daily Mail learned at the time.
The most recent accounts for the company reveal that it owed more than £175,000 to the taxman, payable in the 12-month period after February 2022.
Meanwhile, Martine’s total personal tax bill has not been revealed, and it is not known if the Official Receiver will apply for a public examination of her bankruptcy, which would disclose her financial affairs to the world.
This is actually the second time that the actress – whose net worth was once estimated as being over £2 million – has been declared bankrupt, having previously endured the distressing legal process in 2013.

That earlier bankruptcy came after she reportedly racked up £187,000 of debts, which included £150,000 owed to HMRC.
But Martine is believed to have been discharged from that previous bankruptcy in 2014, allowing her to get back on her feet financially.
She and her husband were certainly solvent enough to be able to splash out £1.3m on buying their dream detached home in Surrey in June 2022.
But the move to a dream home didn’t save the relationship of the couple, who revealed last August that they were splitting up after 18 years together, with Martine revealing that her husband had ended their relationship.
Sources close to the star indicated she desperately tried to save her marriage but eventually accepted her husband’s decision to move on.
In her split statement, which she posted on Instagram at the time, Martine wrote: ‘After much thought and consideration, Jack has decided it’s best for us to separate after 18 years together and I accept his decision.’
She later added: ‘I continue to send Jack, all the love, luck and happiness for the next chapter of his life.’
It later emerged that they had put their home on the market three months earlier in May last year with an asking price of £1.5m.
They later reduced the price to £1.25m – meaning they faced making a loss on the property – before securing a sale in January this year for £1,355,000, according to Land Registry records.
