MARTINE McCutcheon wowed in a summery yellow dress fit for a queen as she prepared to celebrate the Platinum Jubilee.

The 46-year-old actress looked great in the stylish yellow number from Wallis and a pair of silver heels that revealed her foot tattoo.

Martine finished her look with a pair of large black shades befitting of a glam celeb.

She wrote on Instagram: "With filming over, Im SO looking forward to celebrating everything Jubilee - and part of that is dressing up, right? Come rain or shine I will be more than ready for a royal tea party in these beautiful dresses from."

The outing comes just days after the mum-of-one revealed her crippling addiction to Diet Coke that saw her guzzling eight cans a day.

Martine confessed: I dont really drink tea or coffee so the caffeine in it was my thing.

Id wake up then be walking my seven-year-old into the playground with a can of Diet Coke and the mothers looked at me disgusted, absolutely disgusted Shes not got her posh coffee cup, shes rocked up with a Diet Coke.

I was drinking it at that time of day and even before I went to bed. I always had a can next to me. I loved that little buzz it gave me.

The former EastEnders actress managed to kick her habit and has, until recently, been living a low-key life in Surrey with her husband Jack McManus, 37, and son Rafferty, seven.

She turned her back on fame after her wedding to songwriter Jack in 2012 but is now starting to fall in love with the industry again.

Last year she impressed fans of The Masked Singer, performing as Swan, and she completed a live tour of the ITV show last month.

Martine, who suffered miscarriages in her thirties before having Rafferty, said: I took time out of the industry because my priority was to become a mother. It took a lot longer than I thought...I had a lot of problems keeping babies.

The fluffy world of t*ts and teeth didnt matter any more. There was a far bigger lesson to be learned and a far bigger picture to be looked at.

She added: Now my son is seven Im still a bit obsessed with being a mum. I still begrudge anything that takes me away from him for longer than a few hours because Im so in love with him.

Im doing a movie, playing the very small part of an ex-ballerina, with John Cleese in Budapest in Hungary this year. I am starting to look at other things too.

Id wake up then be walking my seven-year-old into the playground with a can of Diet Coke and the mothers looked at me disgusted, absolutely disgusted Shes not got her posh coffee cup, shes rocked up with a Diet Coke.

Martine revealed she is considering doing a one-woman stage show.

She is known to millions for her role as Downing Street PA Natalie in the 2003 festive movie favourite Love Actually opposite Huge Grants Prime Minister.

The role came when Martine was at her lowest after a difficult run in a West End production of the musical My Fair Lady.

She had chronic fatigue syndrome ME, which led her to be admitted to intensive care and she was forced to withdraw from the starring role of Eliza Doolittle.

Martine told Spotifys Brydon & podcast, hosted by actor and comedian Rob Brydon, of getting the movie offer: It was just so confidence-boosting when my confidence was at an all-time low.

I can still see in the film some of my vulnerability, which works it was very much the essence of who I was at the time.

On May 18, at the Nevada County Republican Women Federated Candidates Forum event for the District 4 Nevada County Board of Supervisors, Calvin Clark, one of the candidates, in his written statement said that he had been president of the Nevada County Tea Party Patriots.

At the end of the forum, as I was leaving, Calvin was standing near the exit. I spoke to him, saying: You didnt say how long you were president of the Tea Party. Six weeks!

Calvin did not disagree with what I said, but instead launched into a personal attack on my character, and my veracity about a letter that I sent to one of the members of a KVMR discussion group concerning Calvins misrepresentation of the Tea Partys point of view on California water issues during their discussions.

Since Calvin impinged my character in front of other people present at the exit, he leaves me no other choice but to set the record straight regarding his remarks.

Regarding his personal attack on my character, and my veracity:

On March 15, 2016, KVMR hosted a discussion group concerning California water issues. Calvin Clark, without approval, participated in this discussion and represented himself as representing the Tea Party point of view.

Upon learning of Calvins participation, and reviewing his remarks, eight members of the Tea Party Board sent Calvin Clark a Letter of Censorship. Letters were also sent to the other members of the discussion group informing them of Calvin Clarks misrepresentation of the Tea Partys point of view. Since the Tea Party believes in free markets, we take no position on state-run utilities such as water issues.

Calvin Clark was first listed as president on April 6, 2016. Calvin Clark was removed from the Tea Party Board on May 11, 2016.

James Driver is the past chairman of the Nevada County Tea Party Patriots. He lives in Grass Valley.

Hanging Heaton Junior and Infant School is hosting a Jubilee tea party on Thursday, May 26, which will involve stalls selling items the children have made, plus games, a tombola and more.

The school will also be offering tea or coffee with a home-made scone, slice of cake or flapjack for 4 - which can be pre-ordered before the event.

The school's parent-teacher association, Helping Hands, has also organised a singer to come along and entertain on the day.

Janet Porter, headteacher, said: The children wanted to celebrate the Queens Jubilee and we are a Church of England school - its the patriotic thing to do.

It demonstrates how our children are, they always want to get involved in events - they are really excited.

With the Jubilee celebration taking place during our school holiday, this will be a nice warm-up to that weekend.

The build up to it is already happening because the children are now going round and doing market research to find out what things they should sell on their stalls - I am really proud of them.

We have decided to open this event to the whole community, not just our parents and carers.

It is a whole community event which is something we have missed out on over the last couple of years.

Weather dependent, the tea party will be held in the school playground on Thursday, May 26, between 1.30pm and 3pm at the school on High Street, Hanging Heaton.

To pre-order tea or coffee with a home-made scone, slice of cake or flapjack, contact Jo on 07852 173589 or Becky on 07889 470743.

"Saying that, my top tips for getting the most flavour out of your leaves include using freshly drawn water from the tap rather than re-boiling any water left in the kettle - also only use the water you need to save energy!

I also recommend using boiling water for black tea and not almost boiling or water that boiled a minute ago. Green tea needs to be brewed at around 85C, otherwise it will taste quite astringent.

"Another tip is to give the teabag a little stir to allow the leaves to infuse properly, but dont abuse the poor fellow; I brew for 2-3 minutes to allow the tea to infuse properly before adding milk."
