Patsy Kensit engaged to millionaire mogul as she shares romantic beach proposal

Patsy Kensit is engaged to her millionaire property tycoon boyfriend.

The EastEnders actress, 54, took to Instagram to share some stunning photos of the sunset beachside proposal - which saw business mogul Patric Cassidy, 58, surprise her on the beach.

Romantic Patric got down on one knee in the centre of a love heart made out of in red petals on the sand as the sun set behind them.

It's the first time Patsy has ever been pictured with her beau, as she took to social media to share her joy.

Patsy also gave a glimpse of her rock of an engagement ring. In the accompanying caption the soap star simply wrote: "I said yes".

It comes agter Patsy said she would never marry again after splitting with her fourth husband.

She said the break-up with DJ Jeremy Healy left her feeling 'foolish and ashamed' and plunged her into a depression.

"I lost my confidence and ballooned from eight stone to 11," she said at the time.

"I'm looking forward now, with one million per cent conviction, that I definitely won't be getting married again," she insisted.

However, Patsy has done a complete U-turn after being introduced to Patric my mutual friends.

Speaking to the Mirror about her new relationship earlier this month, Patsy said: “Men become way more interesting in their 50s, which is a revelation to me.”

Her first marriage, when she was just 22, was to Dan Donovan, now 60, of the band Big Audio Dynamite. They divorced three years later. In 1992, she married Jim Kerr, 63, frontman of Simple Minds, and gave birth to her son James the following year.

But her relationship with Jim broke down after four years and in 1997, she married Oasis rocker Liam Gallagher, 50. Their son Lennon was born in 1999 and the couple divorced the following year.

She then married her on/off partner, DJ Jeremy Healy, 60, who was behind 80s band Haysi Fantayzee, in 2009 before splitting the following year. Patsy is now preparing to walk down the aisle for a fifth time, despite vowing never to tie the knot again.

She got engaged to millionaire property tycoon Patric Cassidy, 58, last year after a whirlwind five-week romance.

Speaking of her sons' parents, Jim and Liam, Patsy said: “I don’t have a relationship with their dads.

But it has always been important to have that male energy in their life as I did not have that with my dad. To their credit, they were super loving and wonderful to their boys.”

She added: “I have had a great life. There have been some real highs and lows but I don’t regret anything. If I did, it was that I used to care too much about what people thought.
