The 'EastEnders' actress and her 10-year-old daughter Florence were left in tears after immigration official wouldn't let the pair in for their yoga retreat holiday in Goa.

The soap star tweeted: "My 10 yr old and I have just been refused entry into India due to my visa, which was still valid, but apparently a passport stamp in Mumbai to get a connecting flight to London at new year, counts as entry.

"We both sat crying in immigration at Goa airport but nobody died and after another 9 hr flight we are back in Blighty! (sic)"

Tamzin - who plays Mel Owen in the BBC show - added she was "very proud" of how her girl handled the scary situation.

She continued: "It won't be a family yoga retreat but a bonding trip will suffice.

"I feel very proud of my daughter, who cried, as I did, but was mostly worried that we may be separated like families in the U.S, as her visa was valid but mine not. (sic)"

Meanwhile, Tamzin - who also has six-year-old daughter Marnie - has revealed her two girls think Charlie Winter, who plays her on-screen son Hunter Owen, is their actual sibling.

The two youngster are "occasionally" allowed to watch the soap with their famous mum, even if they are a bit confused at times.

She recently explained: "When I'm not carrying a gun or a knife, they can watch it. Occasionally, if it's fun, they can watch it.

"They'd rather watch this with us having a chat being ourselves, obviously. And they'd rather watch you (fellow guest Gemma Collins) on 'Dancing on Ice' in a lovely frock!

"They do think that Hunter is their step-brother. And they face-time him."
