Why is Patsy Palmer taking part on Celebrity Big Brother?

As Patsy Palmer steps into the Big Brother house, the soap star is “really looking forward to walking through the iconic doors and meeting a group of brand-new people”.

She continued: “It’s a fascinating experience and that’s one aspect that excites me. I’m also looking forward to having a break from technology. We all spend so much time on our phones etc so having no access to that will be incredibly refreshing.”
