EastEnders star Patsy Kensit has admitted she is desperate to return to the soap.
The actress, 55, made her debut earlier this year for a short stint as Lola Pearce’s long-lost mother Emma Harding.
But she finished filming just weeks later.
And now she has opened up about her desire to reprise her role for a longer stint.
She told The Sun: “It felt like winning the lottery to be offered this part. I would love it if my character Emma had a bigger role in the future.”
Patsy added: “I already miss filming. I would absolutely consider a return — it would be wonderful.”
It comes just weeks after Patsy confirmed she had quit EastEnders.
Patsy shared a couple of photos of herself wearing sunglasses and holding a suitcase as she prepared to jet off for a holiday in the sun.
