Patsy Palmer is best known for her portrayal of Bianca Jackson in EastEnders, which she's set to return to, but she's since swapped Albert Square for sunny California.
The actress relocated in 2014 with her family, following her exit from EastEnders. Patsy, 51, moved to Malibu 10 years ago with her husband Richard Merkell, 49, and their children; Fenton, 23, Emilia, 22, and Bertie, 13.
