Yummy mummy! EastEnders' Patsy Palmer flaunts her enviable bikini body in Ibiza
HER onscreen character Bianca Jackson hasn't seen some real sunshine for a while, but in real life it couldn't be more different for Patsy Palmer.
The 42-year-old actress looked incredible as she holidayed in Ibiza with her family recently, and couldn't resist showing off her fabulous figure while on the beach.
Wearing a bright purple and orange sporty two-piece, the redhead not only modelled her slender pins, but a slender and toned tummy too.
She accessorised her look with a pair of large sunglasses, a watch and a few bracelets as she enjoyed some quality time with her nearest and dearest in the sunshine.
Her long red hair was pulled back into a ponytail, and at one point, Patsy stood in the sea with both hands on her hips as she took in her surroundings.
It was clearly a well-deserved break for the actress, who plays feisty Bianca Jackson in BBC One soap EastEnders.
She was joined by all four of her children, Charley, 22, Fenton, 14, 12-year-old Emilia and Bertie, three, as well as her husband Richard.
According to reports, Patsy is to leave EastEnders for six months in order to spend time with her family.
Her departure from Albert Square comes as her character Bianca is so poor, she ends up borrowing money from a loan shark and stealing to feed her children.
Her onscreen mother, Lindsay Coulson, who plays Carol Jackson, is also taking a break from the soap, and the pair will have an explosive row before Bianca flees Walford.
