Ex EastEnders star Patsy Palmer has been spotted embracing a boho-vibe in California lifestyle - world's away from her soap-star past.
The actor, 49, is best known for playing Bianca Jackson in the Walford drama which made her a household name.
But her appearance heading out for lunch at Malibu Farm saw her step out in a chic colourful kimono paired with relaxed denim shorts and a simple white tee. She accessorised her outfit with heavily tinted sunnies and a straw handbag, and a selection of beaded bracelets.
The iconic soap star appeared in EastEnders three stints - 1993 to 1999, 2008 to 2014 and then made a return in 2019.
She then left the UK and moved to Malibu in 2014 with her husband Richard Merkell, 56, and their children.
The pair are parents to Fenton, 20, Emilia, 19 and Bertie, 10, while Patsy shares son Charley, 29, with ex Alfie Rothwell.
The star sensational pulled the plug on a live video call on Good Morning Britain - because they mentioned her being a former addict while she was trying to plug her new business.
Speaking previously about her Stateside swap, it becomes apparent the star likes the anonymity the LA life can give her.
Patsy said: "It was a little bit strange getting used to the idea you're not 'on show' everywhere you walk about, you don't have to be ready to speak to someone about EastEnders.
"You can go out and just completely be yourself, it's kind of weird, it is something you probably need therapy for, though I haven't gone down that route since I've been here but everyone does."
Meanwhile back in Albert Square Bianca was last seen on screen in 2019 and was due to appear again for Whitney Dean's murder trial story line but Covid played havoc with any plans for her travelling home.
But since departing the soap Patsy has turned her hand to wellbeing business offering meditation tips alongside beauty products such as hair oils.
