A BBC EastEnders and ITV Emmerdale star is joining the cast of Death in Paradise. Former EastEnders and Emmerdale and Holby City stra Patsy Kensit is reportedly joining the BBC show.
“Patsy will play a posh totty in the drama and was in her element as she filmed in the Caribbean," a source said. “Her calendar has been jam-packed with EastEnders and wedding planning.”It comes after Patsy's brief stint in EastEnders earlier this year, where she played the mother of Lola Pearce. Announcing the news back in January, the 54-year-old said: "I’m so excited to be visiting Walford for this storyline. It has always been a dream of mine to appear in EastEnders. The cast, producers, writers and crew have been wonderful, and I’ve had a ball. Thank-you so much for having me.”
Kensit is known for her roles as Sadie King on Emmerdale (2004-2006) and Faye Morton on Holby City (2007-10). EastEnders executive producer Chris Clenshaw said: “We’re delighted to welcome the wonderfully talented Patsy to the EastEnders family. She’s the perfect fit to take on the role of such a long-awaited character that we know very little about.
“But on the other, there’s a striking resemblance; successful, the capacity to hold her own – if she says she’ll do something, she’ll do it – and she’s a fighter, just like Lola. Having spent a lifetime apart, Emma becomes desperate to make up for lost time, but her secret sadness and guilt are never far from the surface.
“The burden of losing her daughter has never left her, but can she find the courage to tell her shocking truth and reconnect with Lola, or will it come too little, too late? Patsy’s portrayal is bound to set off fireworks in Walford and cause havoc for the Mitchell household.”
