PATSY KENSIT JOINS EMMERDALE
Patsy Kensit has today signed a long-term contract to join ITV1’s award-winning
soap Emmerdale.
Patsy will play wealthy new character Sadie King - a sexy, powerful and cunning woman who knows what she wants and makes sure she gets it.
The character will make a dramatic entrance in the spring and her stunning looks and ruthless nature are set to add a touch of class to the Yorkshire Dales. Viewers will see her on-screen as Sadie for the first time in May.
Patsy, 35, has been acting since the age of three and has appeared
in over 40 films during her career. International filmgoers first became
aware of the British child actress in 1976 when she shared the spotlight
with Elizabeth Taylor and Ava Garner in The Blue Bird. Perhaps best
known for playing Mel Gibson’s leading lady in Lethal Weapon
2 (1989), Patsy is looking forward to the challenge that Emmerdale
will bring.
Patsy says “I can’t wait to get started on Emmerdale and I’ve
become an avid viewer! I am a bit of a country girl at heart and it is so exciting
to be joining, especially at a time when the show is so strong. The prospect
of being watched by over 10 million viewers every night is intimidating but
I can’t wait to get stuck in.”
Series Producer, Steve Frost says, ”We’re very excited to have Patsy on board and looking forward to introducing such a great character to the show. Sadie will be the envy of women and the desire of men.”
