Tamzin Outhwaite has revealed that given the choice, she'd rather freeze time than see into the future.

The ex-EastEnder - who plays DI Rebecca Flint in new crime thriller Paradox, which is about a special police team investigating pictures of crimes from the future, revealed making the show made the cast talk about seeing the future, but she is happy in the present with her husband Tom Ellis and 16-month-old daughter Florence.

Tamzin said: "It brought up loads of questions, we were always talking about it, but for me it's more about time and stopping time and if you could what would you do."

She added: "Rather than prevent things from happening, to just stop time from happening and all exist for a while is what I would have the power to do I could do anything."

The role in the show is the 39-year-old actress' first time playing a policewoman, which surprised her.

She said: "I was actually quite surprised because I've played army police and I've played an ex-copper who is now a honey trap but they were the closest things I've played, but I've never just played a regular run-of the mill simple police officer before. And a detective inspector definitely not because she's pretty much the boss."

Paradox airs on BBC One on Tuesday November 24
