The TV star took to Instagram to thank her boyfriend for making her work-life balance "so much more doable" in a gushing post.

Tamzin wrote alongside a picture of her other half: "This kind, funny, patient, talented, loving, dynamic &; hot man makes my daily juggle so much more doable and so much more fun....

"As I left the house for work at 6am, I then got a call from my 8 yr old crying & asking where I was."

She added: "Tom Child gave her cuddles, made her breakfast & lunch for school, all ready for @ginger_appreciator to take over the school run…

"I worry that the last 6 months of me being at home with my girls has given them a false sense of security, that I will always be home now. I need to work...

"@ginger_appreciator you have always been my right hand woman & I love you too. #ittakesavillage #backtowork #thejuggleisreal #wouldbelostwithoutyou #luckygirl" (sic).

Tamzin has dated Tom for two years after meeting at a yoga class and hit out at those thinking she was "having a midlife crisis" dating someone 20 years her junior.

She said in January: "People think I’m having a midlife crisis, but not all men want a younger woman.

“Tom’s very good for my mental and physical health. He reminds me to just breathe if I’m not having a great time.

"I'm living in the now and not worrying about it because I don’t have to, as there’s nothing we desperately want or need from each other."
