EastEnders actress Tamzin Outhwaite, 48, pictured in London's Mayfair in July 2015
EastEnders actress Tamzin Outhwaite and her ten-year-old daughter were left crying and fearing they would be separated over a visa issue in India.
The 48-year-old star, who plays Mel Owen in the BBC soap, had been planning a yoga retreat in Goa with Florence 'after a difficult year'.
But their plan was thwarted by airport immigration officials who turned them away because Outhwaite had a passport stamp in Mumbai for a connecting flight to London over the New Year period.
The actress was left scared she would be separated from Florence because the girl's visa was valid – but hers was not.
They had been sat 'crying' in immigration at Goa, but eventually returned home on another nine-hour flight to Britain.
Florence is one of two daughters Outhwaite shares with ex-husband Tom
