SHOCKING NEWS!!! Former EastEnders star Tamzin Outhwaite opens up over relationship split

Former EastEnders star Tamzin Outhwaite has opened up about her split from partner Tom Child.

The couple decided to part ways this summer, ending their six-year relationship. However, Outhwaite has shared that it was an amicable

breakup, with the pair remaining close.

“There has been no acrimonious ending; we’ve moved on to a friend zone. We are still really great mates, which is nice,” she told The Mirror.

After struggling with being alone in the past, the star is now embracing the single life. “I’m quite happy. And being single and happy is a really lovely place to be. And that can only happen with life experience,” she explained.

“There is a lot said about people not wanting to be on their own as they get older. I really like being on my own. Especially now, at this age, I really like my own company.”

Outhwaite stars in the Channel 5 thriller The Wives, alongside her Eastenders co-star Jo Joyner and Waterloo Road‘s Angela Griffin.

The show follows three sisters-in-law on a yearly holiday to Malta after their fellow sister-in-law Annabelle (Christine Bottomley) was killed in an apparent accident. The trio become suspicious when Annabelle’s husband begins dating a woman who looks just like his dead wife.

Outhwaite plays single and carefree Sylvie in the drama series. However, the actor feels she’s in a different situation to her character.

“Sylvie’s only been freshly divorced. Deep down, she’s probably got some pain that she needs to deal with,” she explained. “I’m not like her in that way. I feel pretty clear and happy – I’m at a place where I’ve come through the other end. Life feels really good.”
