‘I’m doing a Piers’! Patsy Palmer storms off GMB and refuses to do her interview in a fury at being billed as an ‘addict turned wellness guru’ after 20-year battle with drink and drugs
Patsy Palmer refused to take part in a Good Morning Britain interview live on air after she saw they had branded her ‘addict to wellness guru’.
The furious star, 48, said she didn’t appreciate being referred to as an ‘addict’ because it was ‘years ago’, before abruptly leaving the virtual chat.
The ex-EastEnders actress, who had a 20-year battle with drink and drugs, declared she was ‘doing a Piers Morgan’, after the former host stormed off the show last week.
No thanks! Patsy Palmer refused to take part in a Good Morning Britain interview live on air after she saw they had branded her ‘addict to wellness guru’
Patsy said: ‘You know what actually I’m not, I don’t even want to do this interview because I don’t even want to look at what it says at the bottom of that screen.
‘I’m going to switch off, do a real Piers Morgan and say it’s not ok to have ”addict to wellness guru” on the bottom of the screen. You know, my issues I had years ago that were talked about by me many many years ago and it’s over.’
Ben Shepherd replied: ‘So sorry about that Patsy. Huge apologies, it wasn’t our intention to upset you, that’s obviously a quote from Patsy’s book, and as she’s talked about in the past.’
While Susanna Reid added: ‘Well that’s a terrible shame, our apologies to Patsy.’
