Heading home, Tamzin was stunned when Tom surprised her at the airport!

Sharing a picture on her Instagram page, she wrote alongside: ‘He picked me up from the airport! Missed my baby love.’

Prior to her relationship with Tom, Tamzin was married to actor Tom Ellis, best known for his roles in BBC One’s Miranda and Netflix’s Lucifer.

The couple split in 2017 after Tom allegedly had an affair with Lost star Emilie De Ravin.

Tamzin played Mel in EastEnders initially between 1998 and 2002. The actress reprised her role 16 years later, with Mel arriving back in the Square in 2018 – with a son named Hunter.
