Tamzin Outhwaite has two children, Flo, 17, and Marnie, 12, with fellow actor Tom Ellis who she divorced in 2014.
Tamzin Outhwaite has revealed for the first time that her eldest child is transgender.
The Eastenders star admitted she was ‘distressed’ when Flo first came out seven years ago, but now finds it easy to say she has a son and a daughter rather than two daughters.
Tamzin, 54, said she wishes she could go back and change her first reaction to the news. The actress said she found things ‘very distressing’ and she and Flo both went to family therapy to help work through it.
She said: “The way I reacted at the very beginning I would love to change because I think until you’re going through it yourself with your child it’s very difficult to judge other people or to judge a situation because you don’t expect that to happen to you or your child.

“What I did initially, I was like ‘don’t be ridiculous’, I didn’t say don’t be ridiculous but my mind went to ‘that’s ludicrous’ and working back from that to talking through it”
