"OI! 'OLLYWOOD! LET'S BE 'AVIN YAAAAH." Just one of the possible war cries from EastEnder's "moufiest" character once she boards that LA bound plane.

Patsy Palmer has left The Square many times before, mainly to have children, but this time is obviously different. According to The Mirror, the bird who roams around the market in the biggest silver puffa jacket going has been made "lots of exciting offers" by the powers that be in Hollywood.

Her rep told the paper: "Patsy is really sad to be leaving EastEnders as she loves playing Bianca but she knows this is the right decision at this time in her life", while a friend mused: "Not only is Patsy excited about future work in Hollywood, she is making the move for the sake of the whole family. It’s a lifestyle choice. She has lots of exciting offers lined up."

Rumour has it that, should it all go bits up for Patsy, she can return to EastEnders as she's not being killed off. Not that that's stopped people returning in the past...

'Bianca' is following in the footsteps of 'Sean Slater' (Rob Kazinsky), 'Precious' (Judi Shekoni), and her on/off/on hubby RIIIICCCCKKAAAAYYYYYY (Sid Owen).

Needless to say, some have done better than others...
