Patsy Palmer awkwardly SHUTS DOWN Loose Women as she refuses to repeat THAT catchphrase
PATSY PALMER appeared to shut down Loose Women panellist Jane Moore when the host asked if she would repeat her infamous "Ricky" catchphrase today.
Patsy Palmer says having a catchphrase makes your life hell
Appearing on the show to talk about her life transformation following her 2014 exit from EastEnders, the 44-year-old star refused to play along when probed to deliver Bianca Jackson's whiney catchphrase.
"Can you give us one more, 'Ricky'?" Jane asked, only to be instantly dismissed.
"I don't think I ever said that. That was actually said by Jonathan Ross in that way and then maybe it got played up more after that," she retorted.
Jane then interjected: "You did! It was in the clip!"
Asked how she felt about having a signature slogan, Patsy claimed that it "makes your life hell".
I don't think I ever said that. That was actually said by Jonathan Ross
The star then joked that she felt sorry for boys whose parents had called them Ricky, as it probably meant a lifetime of taunting.
Patsy was on the show to update fans on what she had been up to since departing Albert Square three years ago.
And the actress couldn't be further from Walford if she tried, as she revealed she and her husband packed up and started a new life in Malibu, California.
"We just decided that we wanted to go," she explained. "We said we either go now or we don't go. My kids are big tennis players and I wanted the outdoor life for them.
"We were nearly in Sydney 10 years ago. I did a film there and I really wanted to stay there but we came back."
Clearly now living the Californian dream, she added: "My kids are really happy. It is a really beautiful life."
Patsy also addressed rumours of an EastEnders return, with the redhead revealing that she has no plans to return to the soap.
Asked if she would consider going back, she divulged: "I don't know. I'd never say never about anything.
"However, I'm nearly 45. I just feel like there's so much you don't do when you're in Elstree for 20 years on and off.
"You can never go back for one episode. Last time I decided to go back it was seven years later. The hardest thing to do is to step out of your comfort zone."
But it seems Patsy's decision to start afresh on the other side of the Atlantic has paid off, as the beauty now spends her days hosting inspirational breakfasts in Malibu, where women empower one another by exchanging life stories and offering support to one another.
Loose Women airs weekdays at 12.30pm on ITV.
