Tamzin Outhwaite (born on November 5, 1970 in Ilford, Essex, England) is a British actor best known for playing Melanie Owen (née Healy, Beale) in the BBC soap opera EastEnders.

Before EastEnders

Outhwaite attended the Stagestruck Theatre Company as a young teenager. At 16 she left school to join the London Studio Centre to study drama and dance. She went on to many stage roles including Grease and Oliver! before having bit parts in The Bill and Men Behaving Badly.

After EastEnders

Outhwaite left EastEnders in 2002, shortly after the time of co-star Martin Kemp, who had played her husband.

In 2002, she was given a leading role in BBC army drama Redcap, however the series ended in 2004. During Redcap, she starred with Nigel Harman who is now an EastEnders actor himself. According to press reports, she also dated him for a short time.

After this she went on to star in a number of television dramas, including Hustle, Final Demand and Frances Tuesday.

She fronted an advertising campaign as part of a one million pound contract with cosmetics company Avon; she also modelled the Spirit range at Debenhams in 2004.

She had been edging into the Hollywood film industry, starring along side Wesley Snipes in 7 Seconds. However this had very little success.

In 2005, she played a part in the ITV drama Walk Away and I Stumble, in which her character was seen dying of a brain tumour. More recently she can be seen in Hotel Babylon, a new BBC1 drama.
