Swoon-worthy might not be the first thing when you think of Phil Mitchell but for Patsy Kensit, it seems to be the only word to describe the EastEnders man.

When the actress first met Steve McFadden on the soap set she found herself having a bit of a fangirl moment when she saw him in real life and not just on her screen.

Speaking to Bella Magazine, the seasoned star explained her reaction to meeting the actor for the first time, labelling the whole thing as 'funny' upon reflection.

'I had met cast members over the years but Phil Mitchell - I swooned. I had a funny reaction,' Patsy explained and while we can't say we understand it, each to their own!

The 54-year-old made her way onto the beloved soap playing Emma Harding, the estranged mother of Lola Pearce, played by actress Danielle Harold.

The two worked very closely in telling the recent heartbreaking storyline of Lola's terminal brain tumour which earned Danielle a gong at the Soap Awards.

Though Patsy may have swooned over Phil Mitchell, she's had a long and interesting love life with real men, not just characters on a TV show.

The actress has been married three times, the first union was to pop star Dan Donovan in 1988 when she was 22. They split in 1991.

She then exchanged vows with Jim Kerr, the frontman of Simple Minds, a year later. They divorced in 1995 and they share one son together James who is now 27.

Patsy was also married to Oasis' Liam Gallagher, they tied the knot in 1997 but split in 2000. Their son Lennon is now 21.

But this lack of luck in love hasn't stopped her from trying again as she got engaged to her millionaire boyfriend Patric Cassidy in February of this year.
