Tamzin Outhwaite, 54, says she's loving single life as she shrugs off dating apps after split from toyboy ex
Tamzin Outhwaite says she's 'never been happier' after spending the longest stretch of her life without a man. The former EastEnders star, 54, revealed she's loving single life and has no plans to rush into dating, despite recently joining a dating app, following her split from 34-year-old personal trainer Tom Child. In a refreshingly honest chat, Tamzin admitted she struggles to keep up with the app and isn't thrilled at the thought of getting back into the dating scene. She told The Sun: 'I'm single, I've tried the dating apps. I'm on one now but I keep forgetting to check it. '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.' The TV favourite, who shot to fame as Mel Owen in EastEnders back in 1998, hasn't spent this much time single in her adult life, having gone from long-term relationship to long-term relationship for decades. Tamzin explained: '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 break-up with Tom last year came six years after they first got together. Tamzin later described it as the 'most respectful and mature' break-up she'd ever experienced - a far cry from her painful 2013 divorce from actor Tom Ellis, who she accused of multiple infidelities. Despite her growing popularity on screen, Tamzin says love isn't currently a priority, with life as a mum to daughters Florence, 17, and Marnie, 12, taking up too much of her time. And it's not just parenting that's keeping her busy. Tamzin's acting career is booming with recent roles in ITV's The Tower and Channel 5's The Wives. She even joined Strictly Come Dancing's Christmas special last year, though ruled out doing the full series, joking: 'I don't have the patience or the bones at this stage - or muscles.' Tamzin has also taken health into her own hands, revealing that she dropped a dress size before filming The Wives by ditching booze and exercising daily over six weeks. Her break-up with Tom last year came six years after they first got together, which Tamzin later described as the 'most respectful and mature' break-up she'd ever experienced (pictured with ex Tom Ellis in 2012) Now, she keeps fit with outdoor yoga and regular sauna sessions which she says 'without a doubt work'. With a tight-knit group of celeb pals including Amanda Holden, Denise Van Outen and Angela Griffin, Tamzin's got plenty of support as she confirmed that she is in no rush to trade in her independence just yet. Earlier this year the actress showed off her toned figure on Instagram as she worked out on a balcony whilst on holiday in Malta. She uploaded a sped-up video detailing her workout routine in a throwback post from her time in the Mediterranean country. The TV star went through her full routine, stretching her arms, legs and working on her core, as she did some balcony barre. She then braved an ice cold shower after her workout, then showcased her impressive flexibility while stretching and doing some yoga on the deck. The actress later headed to the gym and wowed fans as she performed a perfect headstand before pulling on her cosy white dressing gown for a massage and acupuncture.

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 6 6 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 splitting from her toyboy partner last year, she is dreading the inevitable first date 'small talk'. Tamzin says in an exclusive interview: ' I'm single, I've tried the dating apps. I'm on one now but I keep forgetting to check it. '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 Tom Child, who is 20 years her junior. They split after six years together. 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 Tom Ellis, 46, in 2013. 'Felt a fraud' While she was looking after their two young daughters, he had a fling with Lost actress Emilie de Ravin, 43, when they filmed an episode of US adventure series Once Upon A Time. 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 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 6 They include Denise Van Outen, Holly Willoughby, Sarah Parish, Angela Griffin and Lisa Faulkner, while Britain's Got Talent judge Amanda Holden has spoken about their wild weekends with 'embarrassing amounts of alcohol' and 'nattering' about their children. 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 Nikita Kuzmin, who she dubbed 'Prince Charming, she found the two-week stint for the Christmas special tougher than expected. 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.'

CBS Quietly Pulled a Major Show From Its Fall Lineup
CBS is making moves behind the scenes, and one of its most talked-about new shows is no longer part of the fall lineup. The highly anticipated FBI spinoff CIA, led by Lucifer star Tom Ellis, has been quietly shifted to midseason 2026. The decision follows a shakeup at the top, according to Deadline. Warren Leight, known for his run on Law & Order: SVU, has stepped in as the new showrunner, replacing David Hudgins, who previously oversaw FBI: Most Wanted. With Leight's arrival, CBS appears to be resetting the series creatively before rolling it out to viewers. Originally slated to debut this fall after new episodes of FBI on Monday nights, CIA was set to follow an unlikely partnership between Ellis's maverick CIA agent and a by-the-book FBI agent. That premise may now be subject to change as the new leadership gets to work. Complicating the rollout further, CIA still hasn't locked in its cast. Aside from Ellis, no other actors are attached to the project. A planned backdoor pilot intended to air during the most recent season of FBI was scrapped when casting delays slowed down production. Despite the push, casting is expected to ramp up soon, with CBS eyeing a fall start for production. The hope is that the extra time and leadership change will give the series a stronger foundation before it premieres. To fill the gap, CBS is bringing back Watson earlier than planned. The Morris Chestnut-led medical drama will now return for season 2 this fall, premiering Oct. 13 in the same Monday night slot originally held for CIA. For FBI fans, the absence of a second series this fall may feel like a letdown. But with Tom Ellis still on board and a new showrunner with a strong procedural pedigree, CIA may benefit from the delay and show up stronger when it finally premieres in Quietly Pulled a Major Show From Its Fall Lineup first appeared on Men's Journal on Jul 12, 2025

I would definitely cancel Peacock and Hulu this month — here's why
With summer in full swing, you're probably spending more time outdoors—and less time glued to your TV. So why keep paying for streaming subscriptions you barely touch? Summer is the perfect time to cut down on monthly costs. In 2025, streaming costs are higher than ever. Americans pay an average of $61 a month for streaming services, according to a Deloitte report — or a hefty $732 a year. But you can save a chunk of that by pausing a service or two. It's easy to hop back in when a must-watch show or movie finally drops. In July 2025, I recommend canceling Hulu and Peacock. Both services are rated highly on our list of best streaming services for their solid catalogs, but their upcoming lineups are pretty quiet, with no big premieres or buzzworthy originals dropping soon. Unless there's something specific you're catching up on, you can safely drop them for now and resubscribe when they have something you really want to watch. Here's why I think you should consider canceling Peacock and Hulu this month. Hulu boasts a fantastic library, particularly when it comes to TV shows. Not only does it have acclaimed originals like "The Handmaid's Tale," it houses FX series like "The Bear" and "Shogun" and airs new episodes of ABC shows the next day. "The Bear" season 4 recently dropped all episodes in late June, and if you haven't binged them, perhaps you may want to consider keeping Hulu. But likely, most fans have run through the entire season. July doesn't have much new to offer. The biggest original is "Washington Black," a limited series drama following a young boy fleeing a sugar plantation in the early 1800s. It's got a star-studded cast that includes Sterling K. Brown, Tom Ellis, Charles Dance and Billy Boyd. "Washington Black" looks fantastic and I'll certainly watch it ... after I resubscribe to Hulu down the road. The miniseries doesn't premiere until July 23 and I can wait a couple of weeks to binge it. Meanwhile, the only other noteworthy new titles on Hulu this month are "Bachelor in Paradise" season 10 (premiering July 7) and "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" season 17 (premiering July 9). The latter is a show that's much better binged, so waiting a month or two is more than doable. As for "Bachelor in Paradise," you can watch ABC for free the old-fashioned way — with a TV antenna. Mine is hooked up to a Sling AirTV Anywhere device so I can record shows to watch later. But if you don't have this setup, some smart TVs have a built-in antenna or you can get an antenna to hook up to your smart TV. As for Peacock its July schedule is a desert when it comes to originals. The only one is "Twisted Metal" season 2. Anthony Mackie and Stephanie Beatriz return in the post-apocalyptic action comedy, which sees their characters entering the deadly Twisted Metal tournament, a sinister demolition derby hosted by a mysterious man known as Calypso. Looks like a riot, but "Twisted Metal" season 2 doesn't even premiere until the very last day of the month, July 31. You're not missing out on much else ... unless you're a fan of "Love Island." Season 7 of the dating competition series will continue airing episodes throughout July. So if you can't get enough of the drama and romance in the villa (and Casa Amor), you should keep Peacock. How much you can save by canceling Peacock and Hulu depends on which tiers you currently have. The ad-supported Peacock Premium is $8 per month, while ad-free Premium Plus (with the live NBC feed) is $14. Ad-supported Hulu is $10, and ad-free Hulu is a whopping $19. So, if you have the basic standalone versions of both, you'll save $18. If you have the highest, ad-free tiers, you'll save $33. That may not sound like a lot, but churning various streaming services throughout the year can save you well over a few hundred dollars. Put that toward your summer vacation or stockpile it for holiday shopping at the end of the year.
