Emmerdale icon Patsy Kensit engaged

Patsy, who played Sadie King in Emmerdale, is said to be dating property tycoon Patrick Cassidy.

He reportedly popped the question on Tuesday night.

A friend of the star told The Sun: “This has been a complete whirlwind romance.

“Both Patsy and Patrick are smitten, and it just feels very right.

“He popped the question at Scott’s in London on Tuesday, and after she celebrated they took over the bar at the nearby Connaught hotel and bought the whole room Cristal champagne.

“They’ve only officially been together a matter of weeks but Patsy is going with her heart.”

David Hahn, Patsy’s agent told Entertainment Daily! he “can’t deny nor confirm Patsy’s engagement. Patsy is very happy at the moment and has led me to thank you for asking after her.”

Patsy ‘done with marriage’

When she appeared in Celebrity Big Brother in 2015, Patsy claimed she didn’t want to marry again.

“I’m a hopeless romantic,” she shared.

“But I don’t think I will ever get married again – I think I’ve ruined the sanctity of it.”

Earlier this year she told a podcast she only counts the fathers of her children as “significant” marriages.

“I can’t change the rules of the law,” she said. “[But] I was with Jim, and Lennon’s dad for years, so I kind of count them as my two marriages.”

She added: “I feel that those were the really significant relationships and very, very deep and wonderful in so many ways.”
