The 48-year-old actress returned to 'EastEnders' last year to reprise her role as Melanie Owen after a 15-year absence but insisted she isn't keen on raunchy scenes for her character.
She told the Daily Mirror: "It's not an age thing. I just don't want to get my kit off."
Tamzin - who has daughters Florence, 10, and Marnie, six, with ex-husband, actor Tom Ellis - also revealed she won't let her kids watch her character Melanie's upcoming wedding scenes because it is "too dark" for them.
Tamzin's alter ego has been left devastated after discovering her lying partner Ray Kelly (Sean Mahon) is already married to two other women and she has spent months planning how to get her revenge on their own wedding day.
Tamzin said: "It's like a horror or the darker side of EastEnders, so I'm not sure I'll want my children to watch. When I was out there I was scared.
"But I'm all up for the darkness. It felt dangerous to film."
However, she also admitted her children are not very interested in watching her onscreen.
She said: "They find it weird. I think they'd watch it more if I wasn't in it!"
Tamzin previously admitted she took three months of persuading to return to 'EastEnders'.
The actress said that without the show's former producer John Yorke's persistence, she probably wouldn't have agreed to come back.
She admitted: "I wouldn't be doing it if it wasn't for him I don't think.
"He was my boss and I know that he had the show well covered when we were doing it and it was a great time to be in the programme so I got quite excited when he asked me.
"It took about three months to say a definite 'yes' but during that time I couldn't get the voice out of my head of 'oh going back to EastEnders'."
