Martine McCutcheon fans rushed to compliment her after she posted a series of photos on Instagram.
The former EastEnders' star is often open about her well-being, and has previously spoken about her battle with fibromyalgia, a condition that causes widespread pain and fatigue. She finds that cold showers can help with her pain.
She told OK! : "'It's not every day, but I have one when I can. I'll have a cold shower at the end [of a hot shower] and stay in there as long as I can. It really kind of makes me feel like I've been WD-40'd.”

In the same interview, Martine said she preferred not to discuss her weight but did reveal that the 80/20 rule diet is the diet which “works for me”. In recent months, she appears to have lost a significant amount of weight.
She said: “I think it takes a long time to work out what your own recipe is. "It's taken me such a long time to look through all the stuff that's out there, and do just what works for me. So it's not as simple as just going on a crazy diet. I just feel it's really important to encourage women to just be the best version of themselves.”
Giving more details about her diet, she added: “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. She went on to share that she does treat herself to pizza, chocolate or a G&T on special occasions.
These indulgences aren’t things she feels guilty about, because she feels she's doing “good bits for my heart” for the rest of the week. Her latest Instagram post features three photos of Martine, dressed in black and wearing huge sunglasses.
Captioning the post, she said: "She’s of “out out” for a walk folks! I I know it doesn’t sound like anything brilliant - But I’ve had one of those days where it’s taken me FOREVER to get myself out of the door today!
"Jack's pacing about like a mad man as he did the school run this morning and he’s losing the will to live! Even the dogs are rolling their eyes at me… But sometimes I just have so much to do and think of things that no one else would in the family!
"Right - I’m off! Note for the day: Do things at your own pace, in your own time… The world can wait…#truetho #monday #couldntgetoutthedoor #ahwell #whatever PS. Brilliant how shades make an outfit… never ceases to amaze me"
Fans were quick to comment on how "healthy" she looked.
