Patsy Palmer wowed in a blue swimsuit in a stunning new Instagram snap shared on Sunday as she enjoyed a girls’ weekend at a luxury resort in Malibu.
The EastEnders icon, 54, looked gorgeous in the stylish check patterned one-piece while posing for the camera before joining her friends for a number of other fun snaps on her stories.
Patsy, who has lived in LA since 2014, added oversized sunglasses to her holiday look, as the star appeared happy and relaxed as she kicked back with her pals.
Another snap shows the Bianca Jackson actress showcasing her style in a one-shouldered black top and a brown and cream patterned skirt which she teamed with strappy heels.
Captioning her grid photos, Patsy penned: ‘Great weekend’ amid her stay at the award-winning Calamigos Ranch Resort and Spa which features a private beach club, numerous pools and a number of wellness and sporting amenities.
The soap star previously shared that her life in LA contributes to her happiness and wellbeing.

She said: ‘I think the sunshine’s an amazing medicine. I would never live where it gets dark at three o’clock again, ever. That drains me. I’m a light person.
‘I think I’ve found out for myself what I need, naturally, to be a happy person. It’s sunshine, good food and outdoor life – and to just find the joy in every situation.
‘Because I’m a sensitive person so I can get easily bothered by the slightest little thing and it will devastate me. So I just need to be in the light and be around nice people. I need to be reminded that the world is not as terrible as it seems right now.
‘I go Pilates, I like the reformer – I’m really into the Cadillac reformer in LA. It’s got all the bits and bobs on it and it stretches you out.
‘I do it one on one because I’m scared of hurting myself. I love Pilates and it’s so good internally for all your stuff. And stretching’s important. I love walking. I love a sauna and I’ve got a cold plunge in the garden.
‘My husband makes baths and I said put one in the garden, like a concrete one. We were doing it at first because it was all a bit of a novelty but I can’t be bothered filling it up, honestly.
‘If you eat well – 80 percent of it is what you’re eating – so I just try and eat as well as I can. It’s hard to eat well in London because you’re cold. So it’s stodgy [food]. In LA it’s smoothies and salads.’
Patsy revealed she’s done a U-turn on cosmetic treatments after swearing off it following a nightmare ordeal that landed her in hospital with botched Botox.

She said she ‘freaked out’ and ended up in A&E when a Botox job went wrong, and vowed never to touch it again.
‘That was my relationship with Botox over. I got really scared about it,’ she declared at the time.
In a candid confession last year, Patsy admitted she returned to cosmetic work – against her husband’s wishes – and is even planning a facelift in the near future.
‘I do a little bit of Botox every now and then. I’ve tried lots of different things, obviously. I’ve tried fillers once but I don’t like that,’ she admits. ‘I just have a little bit of Botox – I can still move my face. I’m probably due to have a little bit more.’
