British soap legend Tamzin Outhwaite is probably best known for her role on hugely-popular TV drama 'Eastenders', which is based in London. That connection is a little unfair to the talented actor though, who'd enjoyed a long and successful career, appearing in 'Doctor Who', 'Hotel Babylon', 'Law & Order: UK' and the movie version of 'Great Expectations', as well as many other roles.
When she married actor Tom Ellis in 2008, she knew she wanted to start a family, and they went on to have two children; first daughter Florence was born later the same year she married, and second daughter Marnie was born in 2012, by which point Outhwaite was 41. She said at the time that she knew having children might end her career - as it meant giving up her 'Eastenders' role for an extended period, but at that point she simply didn't care; it was a sacrifice she was prepared to make.
