Patsy's Fab At 40

Patsy KensitThe saying goes that life begins at 40.

So, Patsy Kensit, welcome to life.

Today, Patsy, former Emmerdale star, is turning the big four-oh.

She’s joining that v exclusive club of celebrities who hit the big number, but still look as good as they did when they were in their twenties.

But Pats is more than just a pretty face, she’s got a string of acting credits to her name and is mum to sons James and Lennon.

She’s a big music fan too - she’s been married to Big Audio Dynamite’s Dan Donovan, Simple Minds’ Jim Kerr and Oasis’ Liam Gallagher, but these days the special man in her life is fiancee DJ Jeremy Healy.

Chatting to Red magazine recently she said: "I’m not a gorgeous young thing in Girls Aloud - we’re old.

"I’m asleep my nine o’clock most nights. Sometimes I’ll go out with Jeremy, if he’s DJing, but we always come straight home."

Well, let’s hope she stays out a little later on her big night.

Many returns Patsy, and by the by, you don’t look a day over 30.
