McCutcheon 'thrilled' with shows' success

Martine McCutcheon has revealed that she is "thrilled" with the success of ITV1's sister shows Moving Wallpaper and Echo Beach.

The actress, who plays both Susan Penwarden and a neurotic version of herself, said bosses were more than happy with the programmes' ratings.

She said: "I'm really thrilled and I know that ITV are really happy with it. Apparently they're really happy with the audience that they've reached, which is a younger audience. I think they're just waiting for it to go from strength to strength, hopefully."

Speaking at the South Bank Show Awards, McCutcheon added that constructive criticism was appreciated, although she insisted that she had not read any reviews herself.

The 31-year-old said: "There's always something that you can enhance on. There's always something that you can do to make a show better and I'm sure the producers and ITV will take on board any relevant comments and make it work."

She added that she is looking forward to shooting more scenes for soap Echo Beach, saying: "We just all want to film together again because we absolutely genuinely got on like a house on fire in Cornwall. I don't think it's ever been the same since we left."

McCutcheon recently signed to front a week-long show dedicated to beauty and anti-aging.
