Early Life
Patsy Palmer was born and grew up in Bethnal Green, East London. She attended Globe Primary School and then Haggerston Girls Secondary School.
She was brought up along with her two elder brothers, Albert and Harry, by her mother Pat. It was her mother who first spotted her acting talent and encouraged her to go to Anna Scher's famous acting school in London (where many other EastEnders stars such as Sid Owen, Gillian Taylforth, Susan Tully, Phil Daniels, Jake Wood and Adam Woodyatt also trained). Palmer was bullied at school, and has said that acting was a form of escape.
Aged six she starred in a West End production of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.
