Martine McCutcheon makes a surprise return to her pop career as she covers 90s classic in new advert for Lidl – and she’s joined by some VERY iconic guests

Martine McCutcheon has made a surprise return to her pop career as she features in a brand new advert for Lidl.

The former EastEnders actress, 48, previously topped the charts thanks to her debut 1999 hit Perfect Moment after she turned her back on the BBC soap, with Martine going on to have a fairly successful music career. 

However, after several years out of the spotlight, the star is set to wow fans once more as she joins forces with the supermarket chain for an exciting new project.

Looking fantastic in a sparky silver jumpsuit, Martine proves her vocals are still on point as she belts out a hilarious remix of the classic 90s track Ooh Aah… Just A Little Bit by Gina G.

The fun music video also sees Martine joined by some iconic guests stars, including Charity Shop Sue, Traitors star Diane Carson and Hunsnet founder Gareth Mowles.

Clearly in her element, Martine parades around the aisles with a leopard-print lined shopping trolley while joined by a pair of hunky male shop workers acting as her back-up dancers. 

The remix of the classic pop song, aptly named (Ooh Aah) Just a Lidl Bit, features hilarious lyric changes, including the lines: ‘With Lidl Plus, I’m in love, a better app I could never find, you lead the way and save the day.’

As well as starring in the video, Martine has also been announced as the celebrity host for the Live, Laugh, Lidl’ Drag Brunches, which will feature a special appearance from Martine’s fellow EastEnders alum Cheryl Fergison aka Heather Trott.

Sharing her joy at being a part of the campaign promoting the Lidl rewards scheme and the brunches, Martine shared: ‘I’m SO excited to be joining Gareth on stage as part of the Live, Laugh, Lidl Brunches, and I CANNOT wait for guests to witness the first-ever performance of the song! 

‘From getting my hands on all the fizzy rosé I could ask for, to living out my middle aisle fantasies in the music video, it’s been incredible to be part of the action, and I know huns around the country are going to absolutely love what we’ve got in store!’ 

It comes after Martine returned to social media after a five day break for some ‘much needed self care’. 

In August, the TV personality revealed the singer, 40, had left her after 18 years together – days after she wrote a heartfelt birthday tribute for him.

Taking to Instagram on Tuesday, Martine updated fans after being absent from the app for a few days.

Martine shared a selfie in her winter warmers as sported a fluffy faux sheepskin jacket with leather trimming and a black beanie hat.  

She wrote: ‘Hello!! I’m not sure if I’ve been on here or not! I’ve been so busy! Had a minute to myself for some much needed self care. 

‘Thank you for your beautiful skin work @drsenna. I’ve has so many amazing messages. Thank you.! I try to read every single one of them.’

Pointing out her large jacket, she added: ‘PS:Is it me? Or do I look like I’m being swallowed up by the coat?’

Announcing their split, Martine wrote in a statement: ‘After much thought and consideration, Jack has decided it’s best for us to separate after 18 years together and I accept his decision.’

‘We are both so very blessed and grateful for our beautiful, 9 year old son Rafferty, who’s happiness and welfare, has always been, and will continue to be, our number 1 priority.’

She continued: ‘We both of course, still cherish and look forward to being parents together to our wonderful boy for the rest of our lives…

‘Whilst this decision has evolved over a period of time, we are still finding our new way forward as a family and kindly ask for some privacy at this time… Especially for our little boy.
