The 49-year-old has appeared in numerous TV shows over the years and is perhaps best known for her role in the long-running detective series, Midsomer Murders.

She most recently appeared in the second season of Marcella, playing JoJo for four episodes.

Keith and Tamzin were co-stars in the drama, Bodies, and reportedly began dating in 2005. The couple share one child together, a 17-year-old daughter named Teddie Malleson-Allen, and reside in Stroud, Gloucestershire.

Opening up about his family in an interview with The Guardian back in 2013, he said: "I am there a lot more for Teddie than I was for my other children, Lily and Alfie. My hopes for her are simple – that she is happy.

"She can do what she wants. I wasn't surprised that Lily followed in my footsteps because we are very, very similar but I was surprised when Alfie decided to be an actor. It's the hugest relief that they have found something that they love doing."

Keith Allen's relationship history

Prior to his partnership with Tamzin, Keith was first married to film producer, Alison Owen, with whom he welcomed three children, including singer Lily Allen and actor Alfie Allen.

What is Steeltown Murders about?

The series stars Philip Glenister and Steffan Rhodri and tells the true story of the decades-long hunt for the killer of three teenage girls in Wales.

The synopsis continues: "Contrasting the policing methods of the 1970s with the forensic breakthroughs of the early Noughties, Steeltown Murders is a portrait of a town dealing with the repercussions of an unsolved case three decades on, and asks if justice can ever truly be found."
