Tamzin Outhwaite is on a glittering personal quest, braving sequins and salsas for the Strictly Come Dancing 2024 Christmas Special.The 54-year-old actress, best known for her role in EastEnders, has been paired with the dazzling salsa pro Nikita Kuzmin, who she's affectionately nicknamed.

Despite admitting to feeling "terrifying" nerves and suffering from back pain that makes her wake up "like a nana," Tamzin is determined to embrace the challenge and "fill up my own cup".

She's absolutely thrilled with her partner Nikita. "He's got such great energy," she says. "As soon as I walked into the room, I could tell that his energy had a similar vibe to mine." The duo's chemistry is so delightful that at home, Tamzin's daughters Florence, 16, and Marnie, 12, have dubbed him 'Prince Charming'.Tamzin gushes, "He just has the hair and face and the body and everything.

He looks like Prince Charming." While Strictly has seen its fair share of romances over its 20 years, Tamzin laughs off any suggestion of falling for her partner. "Of course I haven't!" She highlights that "he's a 26-year-old man with a wonderful girlfriend." Although Tamzin is unable to commit to a full series of Strictly Come Dancing, she describes her experience in the Christmas Special as "a little snippet, a little hors d'oeuvre of Strictly".
