Former Emmerdale star Patsy Kensit has bagged a major role in a rival soap.
As Emmerdale fans will recall, Patsy, 54, played Sadie King between 2004 and 2006. We also know soapland is a small place with stars moving between programmes quite regularly.
According to The Sun, Patsy, who has appeared in Hollywood films Lethal Weapon 2 and Absolute Beginners, will play the mother of EastEnders character Lola Pearce.

The character, played by Danielle Harold, in the BBC soap is currently part of a deeply-emotional cancer storyline. It is expected Patsy will be part of harrowing scenes due to air this Christmas.
As we’ve previously reported, Patsy looks back fondly on her time in Emmerdale and has never closed the door on perhaps returning to the role of Sadie King. Sadie was last seen fleeing the Dales after she and Cain Dingle, played by Jeff Hordley, plotted to kidnap Tom King, played by Ken Farrington, only for the soap bad boy to deceive her - leaving her with nothing but a BMW.

Patsy said: “I’d love to (return) – I loved the character of Sadie. She was someone who said all the things that people wanted to say in their lives but don’t have the courage to.
“I did that five nights a week on that show – it was fantastic. I lived vicariously through her as she was such a cow.”
