Ex-EastEnders actor Martine McCutcheon has landed the part of Monica Lewinsky in a made-for-TV film about the life of Bill Clinton.

The 28-year-old - who also enjoyed a successful, albeit brief, singing career - apparently has the "perfect look" for the part of the famous intern who became sexually involved with the (now former) President.

"We are in the planning stages of the Clinton movie and Martine is definitely being lined up to play Monica Lewinsky," a source at US broadcaster FOX told the Daily Star today. "Her agent has been discussing the project with executives at FOX and she is keen."
