EastEnders star Tamzin Outhwaite has revealed she's started selling her belongings to pay her mortgage.

Speaking on the Irregular B****** podcast, Tamzin explained that she was selling clothing online to make ends meet.

The mum-of-two said: "I'm in a situation at the moment where I'm starting to sell things.

"I'm about to set up a website for things that I've either created or bought and don't need anymore. Home things, clothing.

"I just think this is going to be probably how I'm going to pay my mortgage and exist for a while, until our industry comes back."

While chatting on the show, the former EastEnders star also added that she loved a good car boot sale and has even considered becoming an influencer to make ends meet.
