Earlier this week, we reported that Martine McCutcheon had petitioned for bankruptcy but the star has not shied away from her twitter and has thanked fans for her support during this difficult time. The 36 year old actress and singer petitioned for bankruptcy at Kingston-Upon-Thames Court.

Following a week of intense reporting on her financial affairs, McCutcheon took to her twitter account with this message: "I can't begin to express my love and gratitude for such kind and encouraging messages. I'm truly so touched. I love you guys. Thank you. Xx.”

KPMG, who have been appointed trustees for the McCutcheon bankruptcy, have released a statement following the petition stating: "We are now responsible for administering her estate and are in the process of establishing the individual's assets and liabilities, the largest creditor being Her Majesty's Revenue & Customs."

The star is rumoured to owe in the region of a quarter of a million. She will be discharged from bankruptcy in January of next year.

According to her management, the Love Actually actress is working on a follow up to her novel, The Mistress and is back in the studio recording new material.
