‘Thank you for your beautiful skin work @drsenna. I’ve has so many amazing messages. Thank you.! I try to read every single one of them.’

Pointing out her large jacket, she added: ‘PS:Is it me? Or do I look like I’m being swallowed up by the coat?’

In September, Martine posted some bed selfies in black lace silk nightwear as she took some time out for a meditation session after the break up.

Martine said the meditation helped with her Attention Deficit Disorder – a condition that includes symptoms such as being restless and having trouble concentrating.

The Love Actually star captioned the post: ‘Ok, so for me, even a 10 or 20 minute mediation can make me completely change my energy and outlook on life and for the day! 

‘Even if you have ADD like me, or a health condition, there are so many great guided mediations out there, that reset your nervous system, give you that calm clarity and uplifting focus you need!’

It comes after Martine seemingly took yet another swipe at Jack on Instagram last week.

Taking to her Instagram Stories, Martine posted a cryptic quote about ‘needing’ and being ‘grateful’ for her difficult year.
