Tamzin Outhwaite is "happy" being single.
The 54-year-old actress revealed in September that she had split from her boyfriend Tom Child after six years together but she has now insisted she's enjoying being on her own because her life is "really busy" and she is relishing her "freedom".
She told OK! magazine: "I’m happy single. There’s a lot on! Life is really busy, throwing a relationship into that is a whole other thing.
"Freedom fills up my cup, freedom to do as you please is a lovely thing. That makes me happy."
Tamzin - who is mum to daughters daughters Florence, 16, and Marnie, 12, from her previous marriage to Tom Ellis - will appear in the 'Strictly Come Dancing' Christmas special this year alongside pro partner Nikita Kuzmin.
However, Tamzin is adamant she hasn't been struck by the show's famous curse which is said to bring paired couples together and destroy outside relationships.
She added: "We call him Prince Charming. He just has the hair and face and the body and everything. He looks like Prince Charming ..
"Of course I haven’t [been struck by the curse]. He’s a 26 year old man with a wonderful girlfriend."
She went on to admit dancing in the show is a nerve-wracking experience, saying: "The idea of doing 'Strictly' does fill me with fear.
"You’re out of your comfort zone and doing a dance you’ve never even done a step of and knowing it’s in front of millions of people ...
"I’m of a certain age and waking up the following morning in agony thinking: 'Why didn’t I do this in my forties?' ... But dancing brought all the joy of dance back into my life – it sounds cheesy but it’s real and it really happened."
