Holly Willoughby is related to a famous Eastenders actress

Holly Willoughby has a surprising connection to a former Eastenders star.

The This Morning star left viewers gobsmacked last year, after revealing she is related to Tamzin Outhwaite through marriage.

Tamzin danced as Scarecrow on the hit competition, with Holly appearing as a guest detective during the episode she was unmasked. Holly couldn't believe that she didn't work out it was a member of her own family and clapped her hands over her face in disbelief.
