Patsy Kensit leaves her role as Emma Harding

EastEnders star Patsy Kensit entered the role of Emma Harding as Lola expressed her hopes of tracking down her mum.

Despite Lola changing her mind, Billy turned up at Emma’s workplace and asked her to attend Lola and Jay’s wedding.

Emma declined but later showed up in Walford, booking an appointment at the salon in a bid to get to know her daughter.

Lola eventually found out Emma’s true identity and started blaming her for abandoning her as a child.

However, Emma explained that she hadn’t wanted to give Lola up and was abused by Lola’s dad.

Lola decided to give Emma a chance before asking to distance herself from her for a short while as things became too much for her.

Emma agreed but gave Lexi a gift – a locket with her phone number in.

She told Lexi to keep the phone number a secret from Lola.

With this, Emma decided to leave and give Lola some space.

Now, Patsy Kensit has confirmed her departure from the soap.
