Sentimental reason behind Patsy Palmer’s name and why she was forced not to use her real one when she started acting

Star of Celebrity Big Brother Patsy Palmer has revealed her real name, leaving fans shocked.

The EastEnders star, 52, known to the public for playing the iconic role of Bianca Jackson in the BBC soap opera, is currently a housemate in the latest series of Celebrity Big Brother.

The actress entered the most famous house in Britain on Monday (April 7) night during its launch. And already, she’s disclosed that she wasn’t assigned Patsy Palmer at birth…

What is Patsy Palmer’s real name?

During last night’s Celebrity Big Brother aftershow, Late & Live, ITV shared a mini clip of tonight’s episode.

Within the clip, comedian Donna Preston told Patsy while in the kitchen: “It’s crazy that I’m talking to you, Bianca. Patsy Palmer, obviously.”

She added: “Great name, really great name.”

In response, Patsy said: “My name’s not really Patsy Palmer though. It’s Julie.” Completely gobsmacked, Donna jokingly told the actress to “[bleep] off”.

Questioning why she settled for Patsy Palmer, she shared it’s her mother’s name. She stated that “everyone at home” still calls Patsy by her birth name. However, she doesn’t mind how people refer to her.

Patsy adopted her mother’s maiden name, Palmer, and the pet name she gave her, Patsy.

Donna is so real for that reaction because what do you mean Patsy Palmer isn’t her real name?! #CBBUK #BBLL pic.twitter.com/Kxzj7FXN9w
