EastEnders legend Tamzin Outhwaite loses a stone after menopause by cutting out alcohol

Eastenders star Tamzin Outhwaite has revealed that she’s shed an entire stone in weight after cutting alcohol out completely.

The 52 year old star revealed that she decided to make a change during her appearance on Freze The Fear, a 2022 reality show that followed a group of celebs as they embarked in a terrifying trek across an Italian mountain range.

The show, which saw Tamzin terrifyingly end up trapped under ice, saw stars including comedian Lee Mack and singer-songwriter Chelcee Grimes take on sub-zero temperatures as they took on the wild.

Tamzin shared that she had given up booze after appearing on the show and realising that she had become a “lightweight” due to her time away.


“It hit me I couldn’t drink like I used to and decided the best thing for me was to abstain,” the soap actress told Closer Magazine. “I took a break last year for six months, I felt amazing!”

Tamzin explained that her decision to quit drinking had a couple of unexpected benefits, including an unusual craving for healthy foods.

She added that she’s “never been one to diet” and that she lost “over a stone” largely by accident.

The star is no longer completely teetotal, though and admitted that she now indulges in “two drinks max” from time to time.

Tamzin, who says she’s gained a new lease on life since undergoing the menopause, is currently dating Tom Child, an actor who is 30 years her junior.

Tamzin and Tom, 32, recently opened up about being in a relationship with a substantial age gap.

The actress revealed that not everyone has been accepting of their relationship, but that she takes it in her stride: “I get the odd strange comment, saying, ‘You look old enough to be his mother.’ Which makes me want to say, ‘Well, I am old enough to be his mother, but I’m not!’”

She explained that they never feel the need to talk about their age discrepancy, but do occasionally “use it as comedy to make people laugh.”

She also added that having a much younger lover can work as good motivation to stay in shape, and advises women in a similar situation that walking around the house in your underwear can help keep you feeling sexy!

Tamzin is a big proponent of a younger man and has said that she feels much better now than she did when she was married to her ex, Lucifer star Tom Ellis.
