Patsy Palmer has opened up about the darkest moments of her past, admitting she was once so hooked on cannabis that she’d chain-smoke skunk before picking up her kids from school. The EastEnders legend, now 52 and back on Celebrity Big Brother, shared her story in her book All Of Me: Life, Love And Addiction, revealing just how far things spiralled before she got clean.
At the time, Patsy was a mum-of-four and working as Bianca Jackson in EastEnders, but behind the scenes, she was struggling. In a brutally honest passage, she recalled standing in her living room mid-afternoon, stoned after three joints and two jam doughnuts, thinking: “Is this what my life has come to?” She added: “I was feeling physically ill, horrible and dirty… What are you doing, you idiot?”, reported the Sun.
