Tamzin Outhwaite goes alcohol and meat-free but is craving ‘stodgy carbs’

Tamzin Outhwaite is craving "stodgy carbs" after going four days without alcohol and sugar.
The ‘EastEnders’ actress has cut calorific treats and booze from her diet, and she cannot help but feel the need for some "dirty, fatty, heavy stodge".
She wrote on Twitter: "Day 4 of no alcohol and no sugar and all I really want is stodgy carbs.
Dirty, fatty, heavy stodge. (sic)"
In response to her tweet, Tamzin’s former co-star Nitin Ganatra – who played Masood Ahmed on the show – joked: "I’m right here….. (sic)"
And she replied: "[laughing face emoji] you are more refreshing , zingy, light MANGO (sic)"
However, some of her Twitter followers thought the quip meant she was also eating mango, and they were quick to point out the fruit can be high in sugar.
The 48-year-old star – who plays Mel Owen on the BBC One soap – is no stranger to ditching alcohol.
In May, Tamzin admitted she was feeling "tippety top" after going without booze and red meat for nearly two weeks.
She wrote on Twitter: "Day 13 of no alcohol, no red meat and no dairy…. feeling Tippetty Top, apart from waking at 5am every day, whether I’m working or not. (sic)"
Nitin appeared to take a bit of credit for her lifestyle change.
He tweeted: "that’s the way forward. You’re welcome. xxx (sic)"
Emma Barton (Honey Mitchell) was impressed by Tamzin’s cleansing.
She wrote: "You are sooooo good! (sic)"
Tamzin also recently admitted she has become "addicted to getting up early" to listen to the birds.
She tweeted: "The birds, the birdsong!! It’s incredible. I think I’m becoming addicted to getting up early to hear it. Tried to do a bit of yoga this morning but ended up lying down and just listening.
"Shame it’s a distraction as I wish it could be the main attraction, all day, while lying in a hammock, post yoga, in the sunshine. Too much to ask? Xx(sic)"
