Patsy: Dating is very trický when you're in your 50s

4-times married star on love life

- ASHLEIGH RAINBIRD

WITH four marriages behind her, Patsy Kensit knows a thing or two about dating but she admits finding love in her 50s is a trickier prospect.

The EastEnders star recently split from her fiance Patric Cassidy after a “whirlwind” engagement. And she said meeting people now is not as easy as it was in the social flurry of her younger days as a showbiz star.

Patsy, 55, told how she spends her evenings “spooning” her cat, Bowie.

She added: “At my age I don’t meet people as I’m normally in bed at 9pm.

“On the show I just finished [Death in Paradise] they were going to the bar and I was like, ‘I can’t. I have got to be in bed by 8pm.

“I have got to wash my face due to the humidity out there. And I have got to be up at 4am.

“By the end of it they didn’t bother asking me. The thought of going to a bar or looking for love… but these things happen when you least expect it. I got set up on a blind date so there you go. I use the word companionship.
