What is Patsy Kensit up to now?
After regular roles in Emmerdale as Sadie King from 2004 to 2006 and Holby City as nurse Faye Morton from 2007 until 2010, then again in 2017, Patsy continues to act.
Her last role was in crime drama McDonald and Dodds in 2021. She also starred in film The Pebble and the Boy, which was released in August.
She spends much of her time working on her Conscious Puberty campaign to support women through the menopause.
In a Sunday Times Style article in 2019 she detailed her own experiences with menopause.
Having been accused of being drunk and on drugs during a This Morning interview in 2013, Patsy admitted she’d had a hysterectomy and was having a bad reaction to an HRT implant.
The video went viral and Patsy has since campaigned to normalise the menopause.
“Menopause was a taboo, laughed at and considered a joke condition for old ladies,” she said.
“I couldn’t bear admitting it. Instead I was ripped apart, vilified and held up as yet another fallen star.”
Is Patsy Kensit married?
Patsy has been married and divorced four times.
Her first marriage was to Dan Donovan in 1988.
She married Jim Kerr in 1992 and had her first child, son James.
Her third marriage was to Oasis front man Liam Gallagher in 1997 and the pair share son, Lennon, 22.
Following their divorce in 2000, she married DJ Jeremy Healy, but they separated in 2010.
