It comes after the former \'EastEnders\' actress started a new plant-based diet in the hope of bringing positive energy into her life.

Tamzin - who played Mel Owen on the soap - has given up alcohol, exercises regularly, and practises mindfulness.

She recently wrote on Instagram: "Morning all.... I\'m trying so hard to continue my flow of positive energy , exercise & well being. Eating a plant based diet & holding on to my Sense of calm is the challenge. Not beating myself up about the ice cream last night.

Tamzin\'s new active lifestyle comes after she suffered some coronavirus symptoms earlier this year.

The soap star - who has been dating filmmaker Tom Child for two years - recalled experiencing a "sore throat" and "terrible headache" when the respiratory illness was first around in the UK, but she wasn\'t tested.

She said: "I did have symptoms in that first week. I think my partner did too.

"I had a sore throat, a terrible headache and I felt so lethargic. It was not like a normal flu. I didn\'t have any fever or chest pain. We didn\'t get tested but who knows. You also don\'t know if you are going to get it again."
