EastEnders actress Tamzin Outhwaite isn’t afraid to share an honest post about single parenting on social media – and this time she has revealed the secret behind juggling the demands of working with having two young daughters.
The actress took to social media over the weekend to reveal that puzzles (yes, puzzles!) are key to keeping her girls entertained while she has a well-earned sit down for five minutes after a busy week filming.
Along with the picture she added a caption, telling fans how proud she is of her two daughters…
Tamzin has two children, Florence and Marnie, who she shares with her ex husband Tom Ellis. The couple divorced back in 2014.

The family also spent the weekend making a snowman – which Tamzin also shared with her followers.
Juggling life as a single mum with working long hours is never going to be easy – and recently Tamzin revealed that she has been working so hard that her kids had ‘begged’ her to out down her scripts and devote more time to them.
In a brilliantly honest post recently, the actress shared an image saying: “Parenting is f****** hard.”
Alongside the to-the-point post, she told her fans: “This week has been one of the longest, hardest, most brain frying weeks of work I have ever done.
“About to spend the weekend with my girls, and I know how fortunate and blessed I am to have them…
“But need to dig deep to find the energy needed to satisfy their hunger for their mama’s undivided attention all weekend.
(Last night they begged me to put my scripts down for one night).”
Tamzin ended her post with a hashtag: “hats off to single parents everywhere.”

But Tamzin’s post revealed that of course she isn’t alone. Fans flocked to share their own partnering woes with the star – while others told her that she was a great mum and doing a brilliant job.
Despite the pressure Tamzin’s heavy filming schedules are putting on her home life, her time on the Walford-based soap is going from strength-to-strength and fans are loving her being back on their screens.
Keep going, Tamzin – you’re doing a great job.
EastEnders airs Monday and Friday at 8pm and Tuesday and Thursday at 7.30pm on BBC One.
