I'm on dating app but I love being single, says Tamzin Outhwaite as she opens up on her first-dates dread
SHE may have finally signed up to a dating app but Tamzin Outhwaite is reluctant to meet a new man, admitting: 'I love being single.' The former EastEnders actress' marriage ended when her husband cheated. 6 Tamzin Outhwaite is reluctant to meet a new man, despite finally signing up to a dating app Credit: Getty 6 The soap star with toyboy ex Tom Child, who was 20 years her junior Credit: INSTAGRAM/TAMZIN OUTHWAITE 6 Tamzin pictured joining EastEnders in 1998 as Mel before becoming a household name and winning several Sexiest Female awards Credit: PA:Press Association And after spending much of her adult life in a relationship, this is the longest she has been on her own. Although the 54-year-old has taken the plunge with online dating since 'I just can't imagine actually going on the date and going back to the small talk. It will happen one day but I'm certainly not waiting for it. 'I've been single for over a year now and I'm loving it too much. 'I owe it to myself to be single, because I haven't been single for this long, ever. I have always been in relationships. I actually like being on my own, it's really nice .' Her last relationship was with fitness instructor Afterwards, straight-talking Tamzin said it was the 'most mature, respectful and humane break-up' she has ever had and she says they have stayed friends. It was a far cry from the agonising end of her seven-year marriage to Miranda and Lucifer actor 'Felt a fraud' While she was looking after their two young daughters, he had a fling with Lost actress Tamzin Outhwaite reveals she's split from toyboy boyfriend after six years together Tamzin does not believe it was the only time Tom was unfaithful. A decade after the split, she took to social media and put up a post that she later deleted which read: 'Ten years since the father of my kids walked out on us for the final time. "I still meet new people on jobs who reveal more infidelities and lies he committed.' And now, another hindrance for her love life is finding the time to date. Laughing, she tells how her daughters Florence, 17, and Marnie, nearly 13, keep her busy, saying: 'I don't have the time. I'm concentrating a lot on driving my teenagers around.' Within her career, she has barely had a break either. Tamzin became a household name in 1998 when she joined the cast of the BBC's EastEnders as Mel, and went on to win several Sexiest Female awards as well as Best Actress thanks to the role. She has also starred in army series Red Cap, crime drama New Tricks and played Rebecca Mitchell in drama Hotel Babylon. Recently she played a recovering drug addict in ITV's police series The Tower, and last year played sex-loving Sylvie in Channel 5's six-part drama The Wives. Tamzin says that after reading the script for The Wives, she overhauled her health and figure ready for the camera. She says: 'I lost weight before we started filming The Wives last February. I just can't imagine actually going on the date and going back to the small talk Tamzin Outhwaite 'I read that I was in a bikini a lot and a swimsuit. So, between Christmas and the New Year, I didn't drink any alcohol and I exercised every day. I didn't ever weigh myself, but I just knew I could fit into things that I didn't used to. 'I went down a dress size. It took me six weeks. Now it's just keeping it off.' She does not have a regular exercise regime but loves doing 'outdoor yoga', has collagen stimulating Neogen facials and swears by sitting in hot saunas. Tamzin says: 'I have a sauna at least four times a week. Without a doubt it works. I stay in for anything between 25 and 35 minutes. 'If you need to you can get out and have a cold shower then get back in, then that's great.' Tamzin, who also supports charities including Caudwell Children, which helps disabled children, has a tight-knit group of friends who became her lifeline during her relationship woes. 6 The star opposite Steve McFadden's Phil in EastEnders, in 2018 Credit: Handout 6 Tamzin in 2012 with ex-husband Tom Ellis Credit: Getty Images - Getty They include Denise Van Outen, Holly Willoughby, Sarah Parish, Angela Griffin and Tamzin says: 'I get an awful lot from my female friends. And my male friends, and family and work colleagues too.' While some of her mates have moved from acting into presenting, Tamzin has no plans to follow in their footsteps. There have been rumours that she could join the Loose Women panel but she says: 'It's been talked about but I don't think I'm a very good presenter. I prefer to act. I don't think presenting is really for me.' Last year she took part in the Strictly Come Dancing Christmas special which she says she 'loved'. She says: 'I loved it. It was easy. Well, it wasn't easy, but I felt like a bit of a fraud because I wasn't doing the main show.' Despite this, she would not do the full series. Tamzin says: 'I wouldn't have the patience or the bones at this stage — or muscles.' 'I'd get frustrated' Partnered by pro Tamzin, who studied drama and dance at the London Studio Centre as a teen, reveals: 'I'd just get frustrated because I used to dance and I wanted to be able to dance like I used to, and I can't.' And while she loves TV work, Tamzin admits she is getting fewer offers than she used to after turning 40. She says: 'It slows right down. Well, it has for me and it has for most people I know at my age. I owe it to myself to be single, because I haven't been single for this long, ever Tamzin Outhwaite 'But I also think we're becoming a bit more aware of it.' However, she is still in demand on stage. Over her career she has had starring West End roles in Oliver! and Grease. Last year she gave what one reviewer called 'the performance of her career' in a revival of Mike Leigh's 1970s comedy Abigail's Party. And next month she begins rehearsals in another modern stage classic, the dark comedy Entertaining Mr Sloane, by Joe Orton. Tamzin will play landlady Kath, who begins an affair with a new lodger, in the production that opens at London's Young Vic in September. Tamzin says: 'I absolutely love doing theatre and more than anything I love that rehearsal process. 'I like doing four weeks in a room with other people as a collaborative. That's my favourite thing to do as an actor.' Only one thing stops her from making the stage her entire career. She says: 'You can't live off theatre money. You run at a loss a lot of the time, because theatre is so badly paid.' But Tamzin says she loves the adrenaline of knowing that one mistake in front of an audience could cause chaos. She adds: 'I think that's also the best thing about it — it makes it more exciting.' 6 Tamzin partnering with Nikita on Strictly's 2024 Christmas special Credit: BBC Tamzin Outhwaite's roles over the years Viewers may recognise Tamzin Outhwaite from several projects over the years EastEnders (1998-2002, 2018-2019) - Mel Owen Doctor Who (2013) - Captain Alice Ferrin (2013-2015) - DCI Sasha Miller Death in Paradise (2022) - Holly Faircroft The Tower (2023) - Cathy Teel

There's a different wave of 5G coming and AT&T is already riding it
While AT&T is preparing to shut down a service that could leave some vulnerable users disconnected, the carrier is also moving forward in a big way when it comes to expanding connectivity. AT&T just hit a pretty huge milestone in the 5G space – and no, it's not about lightning-fast speeds or fancy flagship phones. The carrier now has nationwide coverage for 5G RedCap, and it already reaches over 200 million Points of Presence (POPs) across the US. So, what is RedCap? It's basically a low-bandwidth version of 5G – also known as NR-Light – made specifically for IoT devices, wearables, sensors and other gadgets that don't need ultra-high bandwidth but do need solid, always-on connectivity. Think smartwatches, XR glasses, fitness bands, surveillance gear – all the stuff that can benefit from a cellular connection but doesn't need full-blown 5G. Because it's lighter, RedCap means lower power usage, fewer antennas and cheaper hardware. That opens the door for more affordable and longer-lasting cellular-connected devices, whether it's healthcare gear, logistics trackers, industrial sensors, fleet management tools, wearables or smart gadgets. You name it. AT&T 's nationwide RedCap network comes just two years after the company made its first RedCap data call over a live 5G Standalone network. Now, it's working with partners like Semtech, Telit Cinterion, and Rhino Mobility to certify new RedCap modules and expand the ecosystem. AT&T also just certified the Franklin Wireless RG350, which becomes the first commercially approved 5G RedCap device for its network. – Jason Sikes, VP Device Technology, AT&T , July 2025 It is a mobile hotspot powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon X35 5G Modem-RF System, designed to deliver the simplicity and efficiency of RedCap in a compact, travel-friendly package. Whether you are remote working, traveling or just need a solid backup connection, this could be a handy option. And honestly? That might be more impactful in the long run than another round of speed bumps on our phones. With RedCap, we are talking about bringing smart connectivity to everything from hospital beds to factory floors – and that's when 5G starts to feel really useful.

Omdia Forecasts Cellular IoT Connections to Reach 5.1 Billion by 2030
LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The cellular IoT market is set for dramatic expansion over the next six years, with connections projected to reach 5.1 billion by 2030, according to new research from Omdia. "We are beginning to see 5G SA rollouts accelerate again after a brief period of slowdowns, which has delayed 5G RedCap mass adoption by a couple of years," explains Alexander Thompson, Senior Analyst for IoT at Omdia. Share This comprehensive study reveals how 5G technologies are fundamentally transforming the cellular IoT landscape, with three key technologies emerging as primary growth drivers: 5G RedCap, 5G Massive IoT, and 4G LTE Cat-1bis modules. 5G RedCap: The Mid-Tier Connectivity Solution The research identifies 5G RedCap as a particularly significant development, with adoption expected to accelerate from 2025 onward. RedCap is positioning itself as the ideal mid-tier connectivity solution for 5G devices that don't require the premium specifications of Ultra-Reliable Low Latency Communications (uRLLC) or Enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB). RedCap also delivers essential futureproofing benefits as the industry prepares for the gradual phase-out of 4G networks beyond 2030. Despite these advantages, the research notes that RedCap adoption has experienced slower initial deployment than originally anticipated. "We are beginning to see 5G SA rollouts accelerate again after a brief period of slowdowns, which has delayed 5G RedCap mass adoption by a couple of years," explains Alexander Thompson, Senior Analyst for IoT at Omdia. "We are also seeing the first devices emerge on the market in the US, starting the transition of mid-tier connectivity from 4G to 5G." Asia & Oceania Leading Global IoT Growth Omdia's latest research reveals that the Asia & Oceania region will contribute over 67% of worldwide IoT module shipments, representing approximately 80% of total IoT connections in 2024. The automotive industry has emerged as a significant catalyst in this growth trajectory, primarily driven by increasing consumer demand for intelligent vehicles with integrated 5G connectivity features. "The dominance of the Asia & Oceania region in the IoT market cannot be overstated," notes Andrew Brown, Practice Lead, IoT at Omdia. "With 80% of total IoT connections concentrated in this region, we're witnessing a significant shift in global technology leadership that will shape IoT innovation and deployment strategies for years to come.' This substantial regional concentration underscores Asia & Oceania's pivotal role in shaping global IoT deployment strategies and highlights the region's technological leadership in connected device ecosystems. Omdia's Cellular IoT Market Tracker 2021-2030 highlights the latest trends in the cellular IoT market, providing key analysis by region, air interface and application of module shipments, module revenues, connections (installed base) and connectivity revenues.
