Patsy Kensit rushed to A&E with pneumonia as she thanks true heroes of NHS

The soon-to-be EastEnders actress Patsy Kensit revealed she was rushed to A&E with pneumonia, forcing her to miss out on a skiing holiday.

Patsy shared her experience on Instagram, where she posted a photo of charcuterie board and a bottle of water along with an explanation of what had happened after her health scare.

She captioned: "No skiing for me as I’ve got pneumonia so spa and steam and thermals up to my eyeballs ….

"Thank you to the amazing NHS for taking care of me on the 29th of December at A&E in Southport you are the true hero’s on this planet. Health is paramount."


Friends and fans were quick to send in their well wishes to the actress.

Michelle Collins said: "Oh no get well patsy x"

Radio DJ and model Jo Wood said: "Oh no Patsy .. speedy recovery."

Another follower said: "Rest up, pneumonia really takes it out of you. Really don’t try to rush it! Get well soon x"

Another fan said: "Take care, pneumonia is rotten I've had it years ago, rest up, stay warm and get well soon".

Last month, it was announced that Patsy would be joining the cast of EastEnders where she'll play the role of Lola's mother, Emma Harding, who abandoned her daughter when she was just three years old.

Speaking of joining the show, Patsy said: “I’m so excited to be visiting Walford for this storyline. It has always been a dream of mine to appear in EastEnders. The cast, producers, writers and crew have been wonderful, and I’ve had a ball. Thank you so much for having me.”

The first look picture shows Patsy standing in front of the iconic Queen Victoria pub while dressed in a blue shirt and accompanying beige trench coat.

The former model had previously revealed that appearing on EastEnders has always been a dream of hers.

Speaking in 2019 she said: "I’d love to do EastEnders, my father was involved in organised crime in the East End, so I grew up around villains and that kind of backdrop. I can pull a pint and say, ‘You’re barred’."

Patsy's entrance to the show comes after Lola found out she has terminal cancer, and despite an emergency operation, she was later told that doctors could do nothing more to help her.

"We can try and slow the regrowths with additional treatments, but I have to be clear, this isn't curable," a doctor told Lola at the time.

Patsy has previously starred in Emmerdale as villain Sadie King and Holby City as nurse Faye Morton.
