Tom Ellis is keeping busy with work to distract himself following his split from Tamzin Outhwaite.

The 34-year-old actor's seven-year marriage to the former 'EastEnders' actress, 42, broke down after he reportedly confessed to being unfaithful to her, and he is now throwing himself into work to help cope with the separation.

Speaking on ITV's 'Lorraine', he said: "Everyone's OK and we're all good and we're all moving forward. [Work is] a nice way to focus."

But things seem to be looking up for Tom's 'Miranda' alter-ego, chef Gary Preston, as the actor hinted his character might have love on the cards with the titular star, who is played by Miranda Hart.

He explained: "I don't think it's the end of the journey, put it that way. I think there's certainly some more of the story to be told. I can't say when it's going to happen but I think it's not going to go away."

Tom and Tamzin wed in 2006 in Somerset, south west England, and have two daughters together, Florence, five, and 13-month-old Marnie Mae.
