EastEnders legend Tamzin Outhwaite is known for her compelling role as Mel Owen on the BBC soap, and while she’s starred in various TV shows and stage productions, there’s one major opportunity she’s refused—and it might surprise you! In a recent interview, the 54-year-old actress revealed that despite the frequent encouragement from her friends and family, she’s not interested in joining the popular ITV panel show, Loose Women.
🎤 Tamzin Explains Why She’s Not Cut Out for Presenting 🛑
Tamzin’s been approached time and again by loved ones, who believe she would be a perfect fit for Loose Women—a show known for its strong opinions and lively debates. But, in true Tamzin fashion, she’s ruled it out, saying, “I don’t think I’m a very good presenter. I prefer to act. I don’t think presenting is really for me.”
Though she’s enjoyed a remarkable acting career, from EastEnders to roles in Doctor Who, Foyle’s War, and The Fixer, she’s staying true to her roots. The actress has always felt more at home in front of the camera with a script in her hand, and presenting just isn’t something she feels comfortable doing.
It seems acting is where she truly shines, and she’s not looking to change that anytime soon.

However, she also confessed that she’s a bit forgetful when it comes to responding to potential matches, admitting, “I keep forgetting to check it. I just can’t imagine actually going on the date and going back to the small talk.”
But despite her busy life, she’s enjoying being single. “I’ve always been in relationships, but I actually like being on my own, it’s really nice,” she shared.
