Early life

[edit]

Palmer was born Julie Anne Harris on 26 May 1972 to Albert and Patricia Harris (neé Palmer), and was raised in Bethnal Green, London where she attended Globe Primary School and then nearby at Haggerston Girls Secondary School.[1][2] She was brought up by her mother, along with her two elder brothers, Albert and Harry. She also has half siblings named Georgia and Berty.[3] Palmer's father was Irish.[4] Palmer's mother spotted her talent for acting and encouraged her to attend Anna Scher's acting school in London.[5] Palmer was bullied at school, and has said that acting was a form of escape.[6] At age six, she appeared in a West End production of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.[7]

Career

[edit]

Early career

[edit]

Upon enrolling at the Anna Scher Theatre school, and learning about an accomplished actress already with the name Julie Harris, Palmer adopted her current name by using her mother's maiden name and changing her given name to her mother's pet name, Patsy.[8] Palmer made her screen debut in the television programme The Gentle Touch in 1984.[9] Like many other EastEnders actors, Palmer appeared on the children's drama show Grange Hill between 1985 and 1987. She went on to have small roles in BBC's Tricky Business (1989), Making News (1990), Clarissa (1991), Love Hurts (1992), Drop the Dead Donkey (1993), and The Bill, where she portrayed four different roles from 1988 to 1993.[10] She also appeared as an acne-ridden teenager in a 1989 Clearasil advert, and in a 1992 BT advert with other future EastEnders star Jake Wood.[11]

EastEnders

[edit]

In 1993, she was cast in the role of Bianca Jackson in the BBC soap opera, EastEnders. Bianca's on-screen marriage to Ricky Butcher (Sid Owen) in 1997 drew one of the biggest soap audiences ever — more than 22 million.[12] She remained in the role for six years, but left the show in 1999 to spend more time with her family and to concentrate on other projects.[13] She reprised the role in May 2002 in a special entitled, EastEnders: Ricky and Bianca. The two-part, hour-long special was filmed in Manchester, which reunited Bianca and Ricky for the first time in over two years.[14]

In 2005, Palmer publicly criticised EastEnders, branding the storylines ridiculous and unbelievable and stating that she "wouldn't go back to EastEnders".[15] However, in October 2007 the BBC announced that Palmer would be returning to the soap as a full-time character; she made her comeback on-screen in April 2008.[16] Of her return, Palmer said "I can't wait to explore what Bianca has been doing with her life and seeing what she is going to get up to next", and EastEnders executive producer, Diederick Santer, added, "I'm delighted to welcome Patsy Palmer home to EastEnders. Bianca is one of the most popular characters the show has ever had".[17] In 2014, Palmer announced that she was leaving the soap opera.[18] She reprised the role again in the autumn of 2019 for a short stint.[19][20][21] In February 2020, it was announced that Palmer would be reprising her role as Bianca again, with scenes set to air later in the year.[22] However, this was later cancelled due to the Coronavirus pandemic restrictions.[23] In January 2024, it was announced that Palmer would be reprising the role again for a short stint. The character returned in March 2024 and appeared until June of that year, prior to a further return in September. She departed the role in 2025, in a storyline accommodating the exit of Bianca's on-screen sister Sonia Fowler (Natalie Cassidy).[24]

Other work

Palmer made a guest appearance on the Christmas Day 1993 episode of Top of the Pops introducing 'No Limit' by 2 Unlimited with presenter Mark Franklin.[25]

Palmer worked on the first series of OK TV with Fiona Phillips in 1999.

On stage she has starred in the one-woman musical Tell Me On A Sunday, which toured the UK, and played in London's West End. She also had a leading role in a UK tour of the musical Steppin' Out, appeared in the original West End run of Mum's the Word, and acted in We Happy Few by Imogen Stubbs, which played a short run at the Gielgud Theatre.[28][29]

Palmer stood in for GMTV's Lorraine Kelly, presenting her Lorraine Live section for a week in 1999, reporting from Miami on fashion, lifestyle, health and fitness.[30] She has also co-hosted Channel 4's Big Breakfast as a guest presenter for a week. Palmer has released a number of hit fitness videos and DVDs: Patsy Palmer – The Club Workout (2000), Patsy Palmer – The Urban Workout (2002) and Patsy Palmer's Ibiza Workout (2002). In 2006 Palmer made an appearance in the charity fitness DVD The Allstar Workout. Palmer's film work includes the shorts Love Story (1999) directed by Nick Love, and Another Green World (2005) directed by Peter Chipping.[10]

In 2005, Palmer became a contestant on the third series of Strictly Come Dancing. She was paired with Anton Du Beke and the pair were the eighth couple to be eliminated from the competition, finishing in 5th place overall.[31] She has also made a cameo appearance with Catherine Tate's sketch show The Catherine Tate Show. In February 2007, she was a jury member on the BBC programme The Verdict, where various celebrities ruled on a contemporary and controversial case, based on evidence and examples from real life.[32]

Palmer's autobiography All of Me was released in the UK on 5 April 2007. In the book, she described her ascent to fame, her struggle with addiction and how she battled to overcome her problems. In 2003, in addition to acting, Palmer and her friend, Charlotte Cutler went into business with marketer Ken Wells and a Kent-based chemical company, to create "Palmer Cutler", selling beauty and self-tanning products.[33]

In 2008, a short film starring Palmer was released by housing and homelessness charity Shelter.[34] Palmer has been DJing since 2012,[35] including in United States since 2017.[36] In January 2020, Palmer appeared as the Butterfly on the ITV reality singing competition The Masked Singer.[37] In March, Palmer participated in the third series of The Great Stand Up to Cancer Bake Off.[38] In December, she appeared as a guest on The One Show in an episode dedicated to the late Barbara Windsor.[39] In 2023, Palmer was a contestant on the fifteenth series of Dancing on Ice.

Personal life

[edit]

Palmer has been married twice and has four children, including Charley Palmer Rothwell, who is also an actor.[42] For 10 years, starting in 2004, she lived with her husband and children in Western Terrace and then Kemptown, Brighton, England.[43] Her brother, Harry Harris, is married to Lindsey Coulson, the actress who played her on-screen mother Carol Jackson in EastEnders.[44] In April 2014, Palmer and most of her family moved to Malibu, California.[45]

Palmer has stated that she struggled with alcoholism and drug addiction, and that during her early stints on EastEnders she frequently turned up on set either high or hungover. She has said that she began experimenting with alcohol and drugs from the age of 10 that and her addiction lasted for 24 years. In 2010, she stated that she had been clean of drugs and alcohol since September 2004 and that "We don't have drink in our house".[46]
