MARTINE McCutcheon looked grerat in a stylish black bikini on her family holiday in the Middle East.
The former EastEnders star, 45, played table tennis against her son Rafferty, seven, in the sunshine and let out a shocked gasp as he delivered a powerful serve.
The moment was caught on camera by dad Jack McManus and shared on Instagram by Martine.
Appreciating the sweet family moment, she wrote: “A Bird whistle, a table tennis ball between the maraca’s – & a little champion! Hahaha!”
Yesterday Martine wowed fans with her toned legs as she donned a pair of tiny denim hot pants and hit the pool.
The Love Actually actress showed off her noticeably trimmer figure in a series of behind-the-scenes snaps from the trip.

She looked chic in a striped shirt, which she paired with the tiny denim hot pants that revealed her bronzed pins.
The mother-of-one completed her look with a large pair of sunglasses, designer beach bag and brown sandals.
Posing for a snap, her son lovingly cosied up towards her, looking beach ready in his swimwear, cap and Crocs.
Martine also took to her Instagram stories to give fans a closer look at her outfit as she posed for selfies in a floor-length mirror.
Fans and friends rushed to compliment the star in the comments section, including a number of fellow celebrities.
TV star Jenny Powell was first to pipe up: “Beautiful memories being made right there – and wow, those shorts lady! Have a lovely time.”
This Morning’s Ruth Langsford chimed in: “Have fun.”
Last month, Martine revealed the secret that helped her to lose weight.
As a testament to her stunning transformation, Martine has since been signed by the prestigious Elite, one of the world’s leading model management companies.
The modelling faction has even represented supermodels such as Cindy Crawford and Naomi Campbell.
Over the past decade, Martine has suffered a number of hidden illnesses that have been tough to deal with, including chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia and Lyme disease.
But she has found ways to manage her health, which has given her the energy to chase both her dreams.
“I think it takes a long time to work out what your own recipe is,” she told Love Sunday magazine.
“It’s taken me such a long time to look through all the stuff that’s out there and just do what works for me.
“So it’s not as simple as just going on a crazy diet. I just feel like it’s really important to encourage women to just be the best version of themselves.”

Martine said she doesn’t follow a particular diet to stay healthy, but has a “simple trick” to stay in shape as she revealed: “The 80/20 rule is what works for me.”
“For 80 per cent 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 per cent of the time – I’ll have that slice of pizza, chocolate or a G&T to celebrate a friend’s birthday.”
