An EastEnders legend has been tipped for a spot on reality series I’m A CelebBBCPatsy Palmer, who plays Bianca Jackson, is set to pull on her jungle boots for the critter-filled series[/caption]
BBCIt came after the much-loved character returned for EastEnders’ live 40th anniversary episode[/caption]
Bookies Betway Casino claim Patsy Palmer, who plays Walford’s Bianca Jackson, has odds of 2/1 to pull on her I’m A Celeb jungle boots on the ITV reality series.
The new show kicks off later this year, with the full line-up still yet to be finalised and revealed by broadcasters.
It came as the actress, who has played the role of Bianca Jackson since 1993, starred EastEnders‘ live episode last month.
Patsy’s much-loved character, who was recently involved in a kidnap scene, helped on-screen sister Sonia give birth after a Queen Vic explosion, while Martin Fowler tragically died.
She returned for a short stint to make the 40th anniversary yet, after the scenes wrapped, was treated to a wild leaving do.
A delighted Patsy shared a photo of her on the dancefloor with husband Richard Merkell and wrote: “Reunited with my Richard and it feels so good .
“Thanks to all my beautiful EastEnders family for a wonderful few months of love and history making. Honoured to have been part if it.
“Natalie Cassidy, I’ll miss my sis! Next step … NAT & PAT? 4EVER.”
BIANCA’S SCREEN TIME
Since bursting into Albert Square in 1993, Bianca Jackson has been one of the most iconic EastEnders characters ever to grace Walford.
The fiery redhead has been involved in some major storylines over the years.
Bianca’s on-off romance with Ricky Butcher captivated millions of fans and their on-screen marriage in 1997 drew one of the biggest soap audiences ever – it also coined the phrase “Rickaaay”.
She remained in the role for six years, but waved goodbye to Walford for the first time in 1999.
In 2008, Bianca was back on the Square and reunited with her estranged family, before leaving again in 2014.

Holiday packing tips
Jemma Solomon, aka The Label Lady has got 5 packing tips to help you get organised for your next holiday.
1. Write a list
Think about all the essentials you need to take with you; suncream, medicine, a few games for the kids, beach towels, and write everything in one list, which you can tick off as you add it to your suitcase.
Or for complete ease, try Google’s AI app – Gemini – which will create a list for you and help you not over pack.
2. Involve your kids
Jemma said: “My girls are getting older, they’re 11 and nine, and they enjoy helping to pack. So I send them a list, and say ‘this is what you need’ and they follow the list.
“And then I give them a rucksack each – and say to them ‘you can have whatever you want in there as long as it’s not liquid’, and they can take that on the plane. And that’s their ‘home away from home’ items.”
3. Try a hack or two
She said: “I think they all work, but for different reasons – and you’ve just got to pick the right one for your trip.
“Rolling your clothes is really good to stop your clothes from getting creases. And if you’re trying to get a lot of items into your case, it’s a space saver.
“Packing cubes are great – for example, I’m going on holiday with my three kids and we’re all using the same suitcase for our clothes.
“These handy compartments let you separate your clothes, toiletries and tech into designated cubes, maximising luggage space by keeping your items compressed and neatly stacked.
“I love taking them abroad with the family and it means my kids can easily take charge of their own items once we’ve arrived.”
4. Decant beauty products
Do you really need to take full-size bottles of shampoo and conditioner with you? The beauty industry has evolved so much, you can now buy shampoo bars or sheets – which are much lighter and smaller.
Or, if you’ll be popping to the shops when you’re abroad, consider buying some items when you arrive.
5. Get organised before you come home
Jemma said: “When you repack on holiday [before coming home], the trick is to separate clean from dirty clothes.
“Also pack it in some form of order – so lights, darks, colours for items that need washing, or if you wash your clothes by person in the household, piles for each person.
“Then you can put it straight into the washing machine. Do it straight away, don’t leave it.”
One happy shopper beamed: “The bag is Ryanair approved, great quality, and the right size. Simple design but looks expensive and comfortable to wear.
“This was for myself, and the quality was perfect. As you’ll see in the pics, there are many compartments. Would recommend.”
Perfect travel bag! Fitted everything I needed for my trip and was compact, stylish, great quality!
Amazon shopper
Another satisfied traveller wrote: “This is an excellent product. You can fit loads in it, really good quality and value for money.”
A third buyer chimed in: “I love this! There are so many compartments. It’s small but big enough for what I need!”
Whilst yet another Amazon shopper shared: “Perfect travel bag! Fitted everything I needed for my trip and was compact, stylish, great quality!”
