Patsy Kensit is engaged!
The EastEnders actress, 54, revealed she had said ‘yes’ to her millionaire property tycoon lover, Patric Cassidy, after he got down on one knee with a huge diamond ring on Saturday.
The couple, who are believed to have been dating since August, have been holidaying in a secret sun-soaked location.

Back in September, rumours began circulating that the actress and Patric were already engaged.
She was said to have accepted a proposal from her lover after he got down on one knee during a fish supper. MailOnline contacted Patsy for comment at the time.
Patsy first got married in 1988 when she was 22, to Dan Donovan, from 1980s pop group Big Audio Dynamite, but they split in 1991.
A year later, she married Simple Minds front man Jim Kerr but they divorced in 1995.
By 1997, Patsy was married to Oasis singer Liam Gallagher. They split in 2000 and it took nine years before she walked down the aisle again, this time marrying Nineties DJ Jeremy Healy. They split just a year later.

In August 2010, Patsy, who is mother to sons James, 27, and Lennon, 21, with her ex-partners Jim and Liam, vowed never to marry again after splitting from her fourth husband.
She said the break-up with DJ Healy left her feeling ‘foolish and ashamed’ as well as plunging her into depression.
Patsy also described the separation in April after a year of marriage as ’embarrassing and humiliating’.
She said at the time: ‘This year has been truly, truly awful. I lost my confidence and ballooned from eight stone to 11. I’m looking forward now, with one million per cent conviction, that I definitely won’t be getting married again.’

The four-times married star admitted that she was a ‘hopeless romantic’ when she appeared on Celebrity Big Brother in 2015.
‘I basically married all of my boyfriends,’ she told fellow contestant gossip blogger Perez Hilton.
‘I’m a hopeless romantic and wanted them all to work… I don’t think I will ever get married again,’ she said. ‘I think I’ve ruined the sanctity of it.
‘I do believe in love – I choose to believe in love. I won’t let my past experiences change that. I definitely don’t want to become one of those people.’
Rock and roll with it: She was married to Liam Gallagher from 7 April 1997 – 22 September 2000 – pictured in 1999 – they are parents to son Lennon, 21
