I heard she was in talks, but now it's been confirmed...it's a long way from making Hollywood movies with Mel Gibson!

Kensit is soap's new superbitch
Patsy Kensit is to star as Emmerdale's wealthy new superbitch Sadie King, bosses at the ITV1 soap have confirmed.
Kensit, 35, starts filming in April and will be seen on screen in May when Sadie arrives in the village with her husband who is still to be cast.
The actress, who describes herself as "a country girl at heart," said: "I can't wait to get started and I'm an avid viewer. It is so exciting to be joining when the show is so strong."
A soap spokesman said: "Sadie is a sexy, powerful and cunning woman who knows what she wants and makes sure she gets it. Her stunning looks and ruthless nature are set to add a touch of class to Yorkshire."
Producer Steve Frost said: "We're very excited to have Patsy on board and look forward to introducing such a great character to the show."
Kensit has been married three times — to rock stars Liam Gallagher of Oasis, Jim Kerr of Simple Minds, and Big Audio Dynamite's Dan Donovan. The mum-of-two is currently dating Little Britain comedian David Walliams.
The actress, whose previous credits include Lethal Weapon 2 and Angels And Insects, said: "The prospect of being watched by over 10m viewers in the soap is intimidating but I can't wait."
