Martine joins new stage talent hunt

Former EastEnders actress Martine McCutcheon will sit alongside Andrew Lloyd Webber and company for his next talent search, My Fair Lady.

Following in the footsteps of "Any Dream Will Do" and "How Do You Solve A Problem Like Maria", the show aims to find a fresh face to play Eliza Doolittle for a new production.

McCutcheon is no stranger to the role.

She won a Laurence Olivier Award for playing Doolittle in a West End revival of the musical, and an insider declared: "She is the obvious choice."
