Outhwaite "raring to go" for 'The Fixer'

Tamzin Outhwaite has claimed that she is "raring to go" for the second series of ITV1's The Fixer.

Outhwaite, who gave birth to her first child last summer, said that her character Rose Chamberlain is involved in a lot more action this time around.

"It was the first time I've worked since I had my baby, so for me it was like coming back to a family who had been very supportive during a very important time in my life," she said. "It felt really comfortable and I was really happy to back."

She added: "For me, the overwhelming feeling was one of just raring to go."

Discussing the plot of the new series, Outhwaite revealed: "In the first series it seemed like these were just four damaged characters who just do one thing each, but in this series you realise that they each have a variety of skills and get to put those to rather effective use."

The 38-year-old actress went on to say that filming with a gun in her hand was "bittersweet".

"Holding a gun and saying you enjoy it feels quite weird, especially now as it represents such a dark time in our culture."
