Inside Martine McCutcheon's Turkish holiday as she haggles with market trader

Martine McCutcheon has shared a glimpse of her family holiday to Turkey after teasing about the trip earlier this week.

The former EastEnders star is visiting the holiday haven of Bodrum with husband Jack McManus and their son seven-year-old son Rafferty after telling fans she couldn't wait to 'see the Ocean' in an earlier social media post.

And the singer, 46, has since shared some highlights of her trip from the marvellous markets in the portside city.

Taking to Instagram on Thursday, Martine posted a shot of the bazar as she haggled for bargains with Rafferty.

She wrote: "We are in Bodrum! So far I’m loving it! The landscape is stunning, the people are so friendly and the weather was gorgeous today… Hot but with a cool breeze."

The star accompanied the caption with a selfie of herself and Rafferty as he gave a cheerful thumbs up.

Before heading on her holiday, she showed off her dramatic weight loss and slipped into a black bikini as fans boasted she had Audrey Hepburn vibes.

Earlier this year Martine opened up about her weight loss and she admitted it has taken her "such a long time" to find what works for her.

In an interview with Love Sunday Magazine, she shared how she follows the 80/20 diet rule for its straight forward approach to help her maintain her own personal weight goals.

"For 80% of my week, I will have mainly just healthy proteins, vegetables and fruit, organic and veggie juices, and Flora ProActiv spread.

"And then I’ll have treats 20% of the time – I’ll have that slice of pizza, chocolate or a G&T to celebrate a friend’s birthday. I’ll do it because I know that for most of the week, I’ve been doing the good bits for my heart."

Martine also goes for a 40 minute walk every day for exercise.

And she says she finally the 'best version' of herself and is clearly enjoying a welcome break from the throws of everyday life.

Martine couldn't contain her joy at planning her trip as she posted on Instagram: "Finally booked our holiday! I can’t wait to see the ocean! Time to get the bikini, sunglasses, flip flops and sun hats packed, whoop!"
