Martine McCutcheon

The Love Actually star took to social media on Tuesday (October 11) to share the devastating news.

Actress Sheridan Smith replied: "Oh I am so sorry Martine." I will try I promise." "I'm scared to live without you LJ but I know you will want us to truly live, laugh and love in your memory. Former TOWIE star Billie Shephard added: "I am so sorry to hear this Martine. He travelled the world, he had parents, sisters, a brother and friends that couldn’t have loved him more! "LJ had a mild form of special needs and was very clever with gadgets & adored his cars! Martine, who also starred in BBC One soap EastEnders, also shared the tragedy has come weeks before her little brother was due to get married. He could have you infuriated one minute and laughing the next with his dimples and soppy smile." With unwavering love, support and a commitment to himself, he took hold of life with both hands and smashed through any expectation we had of him. He was 31 years old." He made us all laugh and loved nothing more than making a plan, having a great play list, bringing people together and generally having a giggle. He was such a character!
