The saleswoman told the publication: “It was funny because she was selling strange looking things, including posters of herself.” She had quite a few of them. They showed her dressed as Superwoman or something similar.
‘I had a lot of t-shirts but people just weren’t interested. She had a large old industrial lamp and also many American ones.
They added: “I don’t think their sale was a huge success, but they seemed to be having a good day.” It seemed as if she was trying not to be recognized. But word got out about who she was and everyone was gossiping.
‘I liked her in EastEnders but she was very dressed up, not as glamorous as Mel on the show; She made it more obvious by wearing a hat and glasses. She stood out more, to be honest.
It’s not the first time Tamzin has sold her stuff and she previously revealed that she “loves car boot sales”.
In 2020, she revealed that she had started selling her unwanted belongings after her acting work dried up during the coronavirus pandemic.
She revealed that she created an online business where she sells clothing and household items that she has created or no longer needs to pay her mortgage.
Tamzin insisted that she is not “snobbish” or worried about how she makes money and that she is always looking for innovative ways to make money.

Speaking on the Irregular B*tches podcast, he said: ‘I’m in a situation right now where I’m starting to sell things.
‘I’m about to create a website for things I’ve created or bought that I no longer need. Household things, clothes.
“I think that’s probably how I’ll pay my mortgage and exist for a while, until our industry comes back.”
‘I’m not snobbish or proud of what I do. I love boot sales, but everything is online. I’m thinking of ways of, ‘How do I do that now?’ I’m not proud. ‘Oh God, influencers make money, how do you do that?’
‘I’m looking for ways I could maybe do that. I’m in a decent situation. I can put my career on hold for a while and we’ll continue eating.’

She has been dating Tom, who is two decades her junior, for six years, after they met at a yoga class in 2017.
He now lives with the star and her two daughters, as she previously described him as “the best” stepfather.
Tamzin shares daughters Florence, 15, and Marnie, 11, with her ex-husband Tom Ellis, to whom she was married from 2006 to 2014.
The marriage is understood to have ended in 2013 after the Lucifer star, 45, confessed to having an affair with actress Emilie de Ravin, while they were working together on Once Upon A Time in 2013.
In July of last year, Tamzin claimed that the actor had ‘abandoned’ her and their children and that she was still discovering ‘more infidelities and lies he committed’ in a quickly deleted tweet.
She wrote: ‘Ten years since my children’s father abandoned us for the last time. I still meet new people at jobs who reveal more of the infidelities and lies he committed. But thankfully my heart and soul are clear and clean and I couldn’t be happier right now.”
