EastEnders fans were left so blown away they were left ditracted by Patsy Kensit's arrival to the Square. The actress made highly-anticipated debut in the BBC One soap on Wednesday night (January 25) after it was announced in December that she'd be playing the 'never before seen' mother of Lola Pearce.
Patsy's 'short stint' in EastEnders started when Emma Harding, who abandoned Lola when she was a child, arrived in Walford as her daughter prepared to tie the knot with her boyfriend Jay Brown. The bride-to-be has been diagnosed with a terminal brain tumour last year and realising they had no time to waste, Jay popped the question so he could marry the love of his life.
Lola’s grandad Billy was able to track down Emma at work and, after telling her who he is, he told her that her daughter is getting married today and asked her to come to the wedding. But Emma refused, telling Billy that Loa's "better off without me" before scurrying off.
