Tamzin Outhwaite thanks boyfriend for making work-life balance 'more doable'

Tamzin Outhwaite has praised her boyfriend for making her work-life balance "so much more doable".

The former \'EastEnders\' actress - who has daughters Florence, 12, and eight-year-old Marnie - recently returned to work after six months at home amid the coronavirus pandemic, and while she "worries" her children now have a "false sense of security" because she has been in a lot more than usual, she is grateful to Tom Child for helping her out.

She wrote on Instagram: "This kind , funny, patient, talented, loving ,dynamic & hot man makes my daily juggle so much more doable and so much more fun. As I left the house for work at 6am, I then got a call from my 8 yr old crying & asking where I was. @tc_childie gave her cuddles, made her breakfast & lunch for school, all ready for @ginger_appreciator to take over the school run.

"I worry that the last 6 months of me being at home with my girls has given them a false sense of security, that I will always be home now. I need to work. I love my job. But I could not do it without this support network. @tc_childie I love you so very much. @ginger_appreciator you have always been my right hand woman & I love you too. #ittakesavillage #backtowork #thejuggleisreal #wouldbelostwithoutyou #luckygirl (sic)"

The 49-year-old actress has also been juggling her eating habits, as just two weeks ago the star admitted she was attempting to go alcohol, dairy and meat-free.

She wrote on Twitter: "Back to no alcohol, no dairy , no meat. Last month I did 31 days... this time I want to beat it, then try not to drink, eat cheesecake and salt beef sandwiches all in one day ! (sic)"
