EastEnders’ Tamzin Outhwaite Denies Falling on Hard Times After Selling Pics of Herself at Car Boot Sale
Tamzin Outhwaite has taken to social media to dismiss speculation that she may have fallen on hard times after the EastEnders actress was spotted at a car boot sale
Tamzin Outhwaite has addressed claims she’d fallen on hard times after selling items at a car boot sale.
The former EastEnders actress, 53, was seen over the weekend selling items varying from t-shirts and posters of herself. Onlookers were left stunned then the star was spotted at the car boot sale in Chigwell, Essex, with some stating that she had “quite a few” of “weird-looking things” on display.
But in a furious rant on X, formerly known as Twitter, she has hit out at speculation that she had fallen on hard times following her exit from the BBC One soap opera. In view of her 270,800 followers, she said: “Our yearly car boot sale is a family tradition. Last Sunday 6 adults & 6 kids met up in our cars and took up almost a whole row. We had the best time. Teaching our kids who range from 15 down to 4 that selling your unwanted toys & clothes is a great way… save money. We had the best time and we are already planning another. I am currently filming for BBC so I haven’t fallen on hard times, so to shame someone for teaching kids to be resourceful is pretty low. And I would never sell posters of me…

“My kids made quite a bit of cash as did my brothers & cousin, and with my takings I got us a curry that night. If anyone knows of a great car boot sale we can do next please holla!!!” The actress has since been praised by her online fans, with one writing: “Brilliant good for you. A great lesson… And 4 seems a great family too.”
“Good for you Tamzin. We love a good car boot,” said a second. Meanwhile, another went on to write: “You don’t need to explain to anyone should have turned up in your Mel Owen clothes and shouted out buy off a soap legend it be gone in minutes as you are a soap legend beautiful.”
A fourth commented: “Surely in this day of recycle rather than just buy new this is a great thing to do. We have done it – keep sell or throw and I gave my kids the money that we made towards a new purchase they wanted. Kids grow up – toys change to devices – just well done you!”
A source previously told the Sun: “It was funny because she was selling weird-looking things including posters of herself,” one buyer said after the weekend sale. She had quite a few of them. They showed her dressed as Superwoman or something similar. She had a load of T-shirts but people just weren’t interested – she had a big old industrial light and lots of blazers, too.”
