- Says Kim Crawford, her best mate for 14 years

Row ... Martine McCutcheon

ACTRESS Martine McCutcheon’s big day has been thrown into chaos – after her best pal quit as chief bridesmaid following a blazing row.

The ex-EastEnder enraged Kim Crawford, who says she spread rumours about her husband.
And furious Kim — who had been Martine’s closest mate for 14 years — then told her former friend: “I wouldn’t come to your wedding if you paid me a million dollars.”
The actress is set to tie the knot to Jack McManus in Lake Como, Italy, next weekend and they have secured a big money deal for the wedding snaps.
Earlier this year Kim flew from her home in Australia to Paris for Martine’s hen weekend, posing happily for pictures at the bash.
But just days later their friendship was in tatters after a spat that saw Kim accuse the soon-to-be-wed star of trying to sabotage her own marriage.

Bust-up ... Martine McCutcheon and Kim Crawford

Kim said: “Martine invited me to come along to her wedding dress fitting and afterwards we were chatting over champagne.
“Everything was fine until out of the blue she told me my husband Jason had kissed another woman on his stag do two years ago. I was distraught and it felt as if Martine was enjoying watching me in pain. I ran out of the restaurant because I needed to be alone.
“When I confronted Jason about it later he was devastated — he had never kissed anyone else.
“It was all malicious lies to throw a spanner in the works.”
After patching things up with husband Jason, Kim sent Martine a furious email accusing her of trying to ruin her happiness and telling her she was pulling out of the wedding.
The actress replied: “I will say YET AGAIN that I love Jason and didn’t think it needed to be mentioned (at first) as I felt it was probably a load of b******s.
“I genuinely thought you would shrug it off and say it was jealousy and I could rest easy — you would know what to do from there.
“YOU are my best friend! It’s time you stopped being a spoilt child running away and deal with this before you make decisions that you will regret forever.
“If you truly can’t bear to see me happy at my wedding because of your own issues with Jason then I don’t know you at all and I don’t want you there anyway.

Rumours ... Kim Crawford with husband Jason

“As someone who has been such an inspiration to me, I honestly thought you were made of better stuff.” Kim raged: “Even she admitted it was just a rumour.
“But this is typical Martine — stirring things up and being manipulative. We haven’t spoken since and I don’t want anything to do with her. She’s evil, nasty and vindictive and I believe she’s jealous of my relationship.”
Kim also slammed Martine’s demanding ways and said her former pal would NEVER be happy, even after marrying Jack.
She said: “Since I’ve known her she’s fallen out with a lot of friends. I feel sorry for Jack, he’s a decent guy and he doesn’t know what he’s letting himself in for.
“She is a manipulative b***h — destructive and cruel.
“After throwing the spanner in the works with me and Jason, all she was interested in was getting out of what she had done.
“She couldn’t have given a toss about how I felt — it was all about her.
“Jason and I have had a wonderful three years together, apart from a few arguments which I can count on my hands. We are perfect. She, on the other hand, has not got that with Jack and I sussed that out very quickly.
“Although he is a lovely guy, her relationship is not half the relationship that ours is.
“Martine is just one of those people who is so demanding that she won’t ever be truly happy and can’t bear to see other people close to her find happiness. It’s sad really.

“That’s why she has lost so many friends over the years.
“She drives people away with her behaviour.”
Kim said she will never patch it up with Martine — and that she pities the actress’s next best pal.
She said: “I won’t ever speak to her again now. I don’t want to have a slanging match.
“But after all that’s happened, I can’t believe I stuck by her for so long.
“Good luck to her next best friend.
“I wish Martine a nice f***ing life and I’m glad she is out of mine.”
A spokesperson for Martine declined to comment
