Tamzin OuthwaiteFormer Eastenders star Tamzin Outhwaite has revealed she’s expecting her first child with husband Tom Ellis.

Earlier in the year, she left BBC drama Hotel Babylon and over the summer, she explained she was “turning down [new] parts because we’re trying for baby”. She had previously described having children as her “biggest dream”: “My career and ambitions have been fulfilled, and I would be quite happy not to work again and look after the children.”

Tamzin’s spokesperson yesterday confirmed the pregnancy news, adding: “Tamzin and Tom are both over the moon.”

The baby is due to arrive in the early summer.
