Patsy Palmer shot to soap stardom in the 90s, alongside the likes of Martine McCutcheon, Sid Owen and Danniella Westbrook. But while Danniella’s personal life has been like something out of EastEnders, Patsy, 47, admits she’s one of the lucky ones.
The star recently stunned viewers of ITV’s The Masked Singer – the show in which celebrities perform in costume before judges attempt to guess who’s behind the mask. Patsy appeared as ‘The Butterfly’ and belted out a fantastic rendition of You’ve Got The Love, proving there’s a lot more to her than meets the eye.
These days she lives an A-list life in Malibu – with husband Richard Merkell and children Charley, 27, Fenton, 19, Emilia, 18, and nine-year-old Bertie – where she even goes by her real name of Julie.
But Patsy is honest about the fact that getting there hasn’t been easy. And it’s clear that the temptation of stepping back into Bianca Jackson’s shoes is one that never really goes away.
