EastEnders‘ Natalie Cassidy has stood up for her co-star and close friend Patsy Palmer over the Celebrity Big Brother wig incident.
Bianca actor Patsy (although, as we learned on the show, that’s not her real name) upset politician housemate Michael Fabricant on Thursday’s (April 10) episode by asking if his famous hair was a wig.
Michael said in the Diary Room that he finds it a sensitive subject and used that as his reason for nominating Patsy for eviction.
Appearing on today’s soap special episode of Loose Women, Natalie said: “I know Patsy so well with all my heart, and she’s just very open and very honest.
“I think there was no malice in it at all, and she just came out and asked a question everyone wants to ask.”
Host Denise Welch agreed that it probably wasn’t the first time the politician has been asked that question, and ended the segment by stating: “I think the thing with Michael Fabricant’s wig is, with the greatest of respect, if you don’t want people to know you’re wearing a wig, get a better one.”

Michael is one of the housemates facing eviction tonight, alongside Coronation Street‘s Jack P Shepherd and — thanks to a Killer nomination from JoJo Siwa — Mickey Rourke.
Meanwhile, both Patsy and Natalie’s EastEnders exits are right around their corner, as Bianca and Sonia are set to be shaken by an appearance from a mysterious stranger, and some life-changing decisions will be made.
