EastEnders star Tamzin Outhwaite asks for help in finding stolen suitcase

Former EastEnders star Tamzin Outhwaite has asked fans for their help after she was the victim of a theft.

The actress, best known for playing Mel Owen in the BBC soap, took to social media to reveal that a suitcase of clothes and jewellery had been stolen from her car.

She tweeted: ‘So at 1am I was woken by my car alarm going off. I had left a large suitcase in the boot, packed full of clothes, shoes, accessories & jewellery ready for a very early start this morning.

‘I was supposed to be doing a favour for a friend on their creative project & my case… Was full of carefully selected outfits for a full day on this project today.

‘Yes I called the police, & they were helpful, but I keep waking up remember what was in the case.’

Tamzin revealed she’s been left ‘devastated’ by the loss of the suitcase, which also included her ‘mum’s favourite Jaeger coat’, which she described as ‘unique and irreplaceable’.

She continued: ‘As soon as I realised the noise was MY car alarm I was out the door driving around looking for someone dragging a very heavy case but nothing.

‘I know I should not have left it in the boot, even though it was locked but I thought I was being well prepared.’

Tamzin later requested fans to help her track down the missing items: ‘If anyone sees a leopard print, beautiful jaeger coat in a 10 & and a bunch of other clothes by @wyse_london @ScampandDude @marksandspencer @sweatybetty @Airandgrace trainers, some still with labels, please report it.’

The 49-year-old added that ‘nothing compares’ to the Jaeger coat, and always thinks of her own mum wearing it.

Many of Tamzin’s fans and celeb pals offered their support, including Laura Whitmore, who suggested visiting eBay, Depop or secondhand stores in case it had been put on sale.

‘I know someone who got back a stolen loved item that way,’ she added.
