TV star Martine McCutcheon will be coming to the town's Palace Theatre in support of her new album.

Martine first found fame as Tiffany Mitchell in Eastenders in the 1990s, before releasing her platinum-selling debut solo album You, Me & Us in 1999 containing the No. 1 single Perfect Moment.

West End and TV roles followed and along the way she became the nation’s sweetheart.

In 2003, Martine memorably played Natalie opposite Hugh Grant in Love Actually.

Now 41, happily married, mother of a two-year-old, the time felt right to return to the studio.

Martine has co-written most of the songs on the new album, Lost and Found, with her husband multi-instrumentalist/vocalist Jack McManus.

The album is a deeply personal record that deals with everything from relationships to Martine's debilitating illness that saw her unable to work.

“Life brought this album about very gradually,” explains Martine.

“It was a really unconscious thing; I started writing the songs at a time in my life when I’d lost everything.”

The show is on May 17.
