The throwback pic was part of a montage of photos the former EastEnders star shared of her boyfriend to mark their fourth anniversary.

Tamzin captioned the post: “My beautiful partner in crime, my best friend, lover and surprise in life. Thank you for going with it and allowing our love to blossom against all odds.

“Who would have thought that we would still be loving 4 years in. The last 4 years has provided me with a lifetime of love that i didn’t know existed. Thank you for being a wonderful lover and even better step dude.

“A KIND Partner is the most important attribute .. Men do not come better than you @tc_childie  #4years #lifesurprises.”

Her famous friends and fans alike loved the romantic post.

Tracy Anno wrote: “All that made me cry a bit- he is the best and you deserve it x”

Natalie Appleton added: “A love you deserve my angel!!”

And Mylene Klass commented: “You both deserve so much happiness ”

Tamzin recently revealed why she has refused to marry Tom.

The actress, 50 – who plays Barbara in the BBC One drama – has dated the documentary maker, 30, since 2018.

She recently told Woman’s Weekly magazine: “I don’t feel it needs to happen.

“I’m just really happy as we are, not having to get married again.”

Last year she told Fabulous magazine that she moved Tom in after getting approval off her daughters Florence, 13, and nine-year-old Marnie.

The youngsters were over the moon with the new family dynamics, but told their mum that they don’t want her to get hitched.

Tamzin said: “My daughters were excited by him moving in, but they wouldn’t like us to get married — they’d hate that.

“They always say, ‘You two are not getting married’. They don’t like the idea of it, but that’s fine because we’re not desperate to do it.

“I feel like I’ve done it so I’m not that bothered really.

“It’s a very liberating place to be when you don’t need to get married and you don’t need to have kids.

“I do feel much freer than I’ve felt in life, and at the same time being in a very loving relationship. You could say I’ve got the best of both worlds really.”

Tamzin shares her two daughters with actor Tom Ellis, 42, who is best known for playing Gary in BBC sitcom Miranda.

The pair tied the knot in 2006 but got divorced seven years later in 2014.

They were their separate ways after it Tamzin found out that her husband had a short affair with Australian actress Emilie de Ravin.

Tom and Emilie met in Los Angeles while filming for fantasy drama Once Upon a Time.
