Patsy Palmer has revealed that despite leaving BBC soap opera Eastenders in 1999 she still has people screaming “RICKYYYYYY” at her every single day!

“Not a day has gone by in nine years when someone hasn’t shouted that from cars and even up at my bedroom window at night,” the 35-year-old is quoted as saying in The Daily Mirror.

“For me it’s like a swear word now, the shouting of ‘Rickay!’”

“Even my daughter said it and that was like a horror film. She was making fun of me as she said it!”

Patsy is due to return to Eastenders for the funeral of her ex father in law Frank Butcher in the near future.
