Tamzin Outhwaite 'devastated' after late mum's coat was stolen from car

Tamzin Outhwaite is "devastated" after a thief stole a "unique and irreplaceable" coat which belonged to her late mother.

The former \'EastEnders\' actress - whose mum Anna sadly passed away in 2018 - had packed a suitcase in her boot ready for a "creative project" on Friday (28.08.20), but her car alarm went off in the early hours and the case was gone.

In a lengthy series of tweets, she wrote: "So at 1am I was woken by my car alarm going off. I had left a large suitcase in the boot, packed full of clothes, shoes, accessories & jewellery ready for a very early start this morning.
