Tamzin Outhwaite ‘saves three children from drowning at seven-year-old’s birthday party’ 

Tamzin Outhwaite reportedly saved three children from drowning at a seven-year-old’s birthday party on Monday in North London. 

The former EastEnders actress, 50, apparently plunged into the water fully-clothed, before the other parents could react as she rescued the children who were all under 10-years-of-age.    

One witness told The Sun following the incident: ‘Tamzin is a hero. She leapt into the water without hesitation. It was very dramatic.

‘Without a second’s doubt she entered the pool and plucked the youngest child to safety, before grabbing the other two.

‘She reacted so fast that nobody else had even gone into the water by the time they were all safe.

‘There were a couple of doctors at the party who checked the kids were OK and gave them a clean bill of health. But it left many people shaken.’

Another bystander called the actress a ‘superstar’ and a ‘legend’ as they praised her down-to-earth attitude.

They also said ‘who knows’ what could have happened if she hadn’t spotted the children were in trouble. 

It is unclear if her daughters Marnie, eight, or Florence, 13, were involved in the incident. Tamzin shares her two children with Lucifer actor Tom Ellis.  

And the 50-year-old revealed in March that Tom, 42, who lives in LA, hasn’t seen their two children in six months because of the coronavirus pandemic.

The Eastenders actress took to Twitter to reveal that her daughters are ‘bursting with happiness’ and ‘counting down the days’ until they can see their dad. 

She enthusiastically told her followers: ‘From tomorrow we can see friends outside!!!

‘But for the happiness of my kids, I am most excited that they get to see their Dad soon, who they haven’t seen since last August.

‘They are bursting with excitement & counting down the days,’ she revealed.

Co-parents: Tamzin shares her two children with Lucifer actor Tom Ellis (pictured in 2012) whom she split from in 2014 after he admitted to cheating with Lost actress Emilie de Ravin 

Tom is currently living in America with his now wife Meaghan Oppenheimer while he films Lucifer.     

The actor and Tamzin split in 2014 after he admitted to cheating with Lost actress Emilie de Ravin. 

But soap star Tamzin said in a 2015 interview with Essentials Magazine that there was more to the split than just an act of infidelity.

She said at the time: ‘I wouldn’t not be with my husband over a one-night stand is all I’ll say.’
