WITH a smouldering expression and a suggestive pose showing off her, eh hem, best assets, Martine McCutcheon sent a clear message with her latest mirror selfie.
The Love Actually star, 49, is firmly back on the market following her split from husband Jack McManus, 41, in August last year.
And her latest sexy snap, showing the fresh-faced actress wearing nothing but a cheeky pair of black bikini bottoms, certainly shows her ex exactly what he’s missing.
Posting it to Instagram on Thursday, she captioned the shot: “Take me back to the sun and sea… This lady needs her Vitamin D!”
The couple, together for 18 years, married at Lake Como in 2012 and renewed their vows at the five-star Beaverbrook Hotel in the Surrey Hills with son Rafferty, then eight, in tow in 2022.
Speaking about their split, Martine revealed that Jack had “decided it’s best for us to separate” and she “accept[ed] his decision”.
Martine isn’t the only celeb to embrace the racy “revenge pic” trend, as we reveal…
Ellie Goulding
Holding two full wine glasses to cover her modesty, Ellie Goulding’s daring topless snap certainly left admirers love drunk.
The Love Me Like You Do singer shared the sexy snap after her split from hunky surf instructor Armando Perez in October 2024.
Ellie began dating Armando following her divorce from high-end art dealer Caspar Jopling – whom she was married to for four years and shares a son with.
Five months on from her saucy snap she went a step further, sharing a jaw-dropping black and white lingerie photo of her toned torso, covering her boobs with her arms.
The reasons behind her heartache were hinted at in new song Easy To Love Me, in which she repeats the line: “I know it’s not easy to love me.”
Megan Barton-Hanson
She notably gushed about Towie bad boy James Lock being “so intelligent” and “down to earth” during their “great time together” – but two weeks later their whirlwind romance was all over.
And Love Islander Megan Barton-Hanson wasted no time showing him what he’d lost.
Just 10 days after their split in December 2021, she put on a skimpy pair of undies and posed for a topless bathroom selfie, clutching a glass of champagne.
Her ‘message’ to James seemed to work, as the couple got back together three months later.
Emily Ratajkowski
Ever since her infamous debut in Robin Thicke’s controversial 2013 music video for Blurred Lines, supermodel Emily Ratajkowski’s clothes have barely stayed on.
So it was no surprise when the London-born beauty used her stunning figure in a cheeky Instagram snap to hit back at her ex-husband, who allegedly cheated on her.
Vogue model Emily had been separated from Uncut Gems producer Sebastian Bear-McClard for just two months in 2022 when she shared a series of snaps dressed in just her underwear and a pair of knee-high boots.
An insider claimed “serial cheater” Sebastian had begged her to “scrap” their divorce, but she refused.
Sebastian’s lawyers declined to comment when the story broke, and no further details have been reported.
Charlotte Crosby
Having exposed her love rat ex-boyfriend Joshua Ritchie, Geordie Shore’s Charlotte Crosby was clearly on the warpath – and her weapon of choice was her stunning body.
After fuming she had “so much evidence” the former Love Islander had done the dirty on her, she shared a series of raunchy photos of herself in the bath.
Charlotte teased fans – and her ex – with a flash of boob and showed off her tanned, toned legs while on hols in Dubai with former co-star Sophie Kasaei.
Nicola McClean
And the prize for the least subtle revenge pic goes to… bombshell Nicola McClean!
We love this no F’s given snap of the TV personality, using her hand to cover her boob while flashing her middle finger with the other.
The sassy pic came in the wake of the mum-of-two’s split from her former West Ham footballer husband Tom Williams, who’d allegedly cheated on her.
While her reps insisted the pic was “a joke between Nicola and her friend”, few believed it.
Just a month after her first raunchy snap in September 2024, she shared more risque photos on Instagram with explosion emojis covering her nipples and privates while wearing see-through clothing.
That same month, Nicola proudly stated: “He knows he’s never going to get anyone better than me! It’s all still raw. He’s only just realised what he’s lost.”
She got back together with her love rat ex, who was caught cheating again in Las Vegas in a shocking 2019 video that left her “beyond devastated”. But they patched things up and are still together now.
Marnie Simpson
It was set to be a marriage made in reality TV heaven when Geordie Shore’s Marnie Simpson and Towie’s Ricky Rayment got engaged.
But it wasn’t meant to be and they split in August 2015.
Weeks later, Marnie shared a topless mirror selfie with love heart emojis covering her modesty.
Ricky clearly noticed, and sarcastically responded: “Keeping it classy.”
It seems the ‘revenge photo’ didn’t work in this instance – but it certainly caught the eye of other admirers. By November that year Marnie had moved on with fellow Geordie Shore star Aaron Chalmers.
Britney Spears
Rolling around in a spacious bed wrapped in a sheet wearing nothing but pink undies, Britney Spears stared seductively into her camera phone.
The saucy clip in August 2023 came just weeks after splitting from her husband, model Sam Asghari, after six years together.
At the time he wrote “s*** happens” in a post about their separation, claiming he held onto “love and respect” for her and wished her “the best always”.
Meanwhile it appeared to kickstart Britney’s habit of sharing racy videos and snaps to Instagram.
Dina Broadhurst
“Nude artist” Dina Broadhurst certainly lived-up to her occupation in a revenge post after splitting from multimillionaire boyfriend John Winning Jr.
In January, just a month after she and the heir to a $700million appliances fortune parted ways, she left her 365,000 Instagram followers’ jaws on the floor.
Dina shared a completely naked photo – bar a few pen squiggles in her intimate regions – clearly aimed at showing John what he was missing out on.
Philine Roepstorff
Wearing a skimpy bikini thong and no top, Danish model Philine Roepstorff relished flashing her peachy bum to the camera in a sizzling holiday snap.
The photos, which followed her break-up from former Arsenal star Nicklas Bendtner in 2012, were met by a stream of loved-up compliments from fans.
“You’re beautiful, beautiful and beautiful again,” one wrote, while another commented: “Stunning.”
Around that time Philine revealed she had matched with Spider-Man actor Tom Holland on celebrity dating app Raya.
