EastEnders legend Patsy Palmer teases reality show about her model children and lavish Malibu lifestyle
EASTENDERS legend Patsy Palmer has teased plans for a reality show about her model children.
The 47-year-old re-located her family to Malibu where she lives a lavish lifestyle as a DJ in LA.
And now the actress – who this weekend started on The Masked Singer – has revealed she’s in talks with TV bosses about cameras following the family around at home.
She told ITV’s Lorraine: “Yeah you never know. With The Masked Singer, like I’ve always said it goes to prove that it’s good to show a bit of positivity and inspiration.
“I’m all for that. I’m not sure I’d want to do anything where they’re saying let’s all have a big fight now to get the ratings up. That’s not really my bag.
“I don’t really know what people want, but we shall see. We’ve got a few ideas of what they may want to base it around. Who knows!
“With the state of the world at the minute, we need a bit of light entertainment.”
Patsy dressed as a giant butterfly on The Masked Singer on Saturday night as she showed off her amazing singing voice.
She belted out Florence and the Machine’s version of You’ve Got The Love.
But after competing against the Duck she was booted out of the competition and was unmasked at the end of the show.
Revealing she watched it back in LA with her kids, Patsy added: “My kids loved it because there wasn’t an inch of criticising someone, the judges are not there to criticise.
“You’re encouraging kids of all ages which I thought was really interesting.”
Patsy and her cabbie husband Richard Merkel traded in life in Blighty for Malibu back in 2014.
The red headed beauty, 46, quit acting in 1999 to “spend more time with her family and pursue other projects” and began home schooling her three youngest kids.
The star headed stateside in 2014 with cabbie husband Richard Merkell and turned to DJing in Malibu for fun while son Fenton, 18, and daughter Emilia, 17, worked on their showbiz careers.
And the family set up quite the inner circle of famous friends in the Californian sunshine through Patsy’s passion for empowering women.
Even her brood hang out with the offspring of superstars.
Fenton is a model signed to The Dragonfly Agency and is rumoured to be dating Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Lisa Rinna’s daughter Delilah Belle.
While his ex is said to be Cindy Crawford’s daughter Kaia, who is good friends with Hollywood royal Kendall Jenner.
Meanwhile, Emilia is also becoming a face on the modelling scene as the LA-based teenagers focus on their careers.
EastEnders legend Patsy said about her kids last year: “They don’t really like school anyway, I hated it when I was a kid, so I’m never going to push them.
“They’re very creative – I feel like there’s a lot more they could be doing outside of school, anyway.”
Instead of school, the kids study classes online so that they can have the flexibility to attend acting lessons and auditions.
Patsy added: “It’s so far to go anyway. If they have a casting in the day it’s going to be hard for them to get there.”
Patsy’s eldest son Charley Palmer Rothwell – who Patsy had with former boyfriend, boxer Alfie Rothwell – lives back in London and is a rising star on the big screen, having bagged decent roles in iBoy, Dunkirk and opposite Tom Hardy in Legend.

Despite her recent brief return to the Square, Patsy had admitted in the past that her new LA lifestyle meant she “didn’t miss” acting at all.
She added: “I don’t miss it one bit. I love talking to women, being around women, women that want to support each other.”
