Tamzin Outhwaite welcomes baby girlFormer EastEnders
actress Tamzin Outhwaite has given birth to her first baby, it was announced today.
The 37-year-old star married actor Tom Ellis in June 2006. They
have named their first child together Florence Elsie Ellis. A spokesman
said: "We are pleased to announce that Tamzin Outhwaite and Tom Ellis are the
proud parents of Florence Elsie Ellis who arrived last week." The ex-Hotel
Babylon star has previously spoken of her desire to become a mother, saying: "Having
children is my biggest dream. I'd be happy not to work again and look after the
children." Outhwaite has enjoyed a string of TV and theatre roles since
quitting the BBC1 soap EastEnders in 2002. Ellis, who has also starred
in EastEnders, has a daughter Nora, two, from a previous relationship. The
couple told of their delight when Tamzin's pregnancy was first revealed. Tamzin
said: "It took a lot longer to find my ideal man than I thought it was going to.
I've wanted a child for a long time. "I wouldn't say my body clock was
ticking that loudly but I've spent my life mothering my brothers, Jake and Kes,
my cousins, even my friends, and there was a part of me that wanted to and really
needed to be a mother." She added: "It was a case of waiting for the
right time, finding the person I wanted to have that child with. Tom is that person."
The pair tied the knot in a romantic, star-studded country wedding in June
2006 after a whirlwind one year romance. Where to next?
