Martine McCutcheon: I feared I would knock Hugh Grant out during Love Actually

Martine McCutcheon surprises a couple with a Love Actually inspired doorstep greeting at their home in Barnes, London.

Martine McCutcheon has revealed she feared she would knock Hugh Grant unconscious on her first day filming Love Actually.

The former EastEnders star plays the Downing Street tea lady who falls in love with Grant’s prime minister in the 2003 Christmas film and said her first day on set was filming the reunion scene at Heathrow Airport, which is the finale of the movie and in which she leaps into Grant’s arms.
