Viewers chose to save Paty Palamer and Jack P Shepherd over the talk show presenter
Celebrity Big Brother’s Trisha Goddard has revealed that EastEnders legend Patsy Palmer ‘really wants to go home’.
With fans having to vote to save their favourite housemates, talk show presenter Trisha became the third celebrity to leave the ITV reality show.
Trisha was put up for eviction against Patsy and Coronation Street actor Jack P Shepherd, who survived being eliminated for the second vote in a row.
Upon learning that she was up for eviction, Patsy told her fellow housemates that she’d be ‘happy to leave’ due to missing her children.
The Bianca Jackson actress lives in California with her husband Merkell and their children – Fenton, 23, Emilia, 22, and 13-year-old Bertie.
After returning to EastEnders last year, Patsy previously said on Big Brother that she has only been home for eight weeks in total since going back to Albert Square.
Following Trisha’s eviction, she told presenters AJ Odudu and Will Best that Patsy asked her if she could leave instead.
“She really wanted to go home and see her family. She was like ‘if you are called, can I go out instead? I’ll go instead of you’,” Trisha said.
During her time in the house, Trisha was involved in an argument with Patsy over both of them living in America.
Nominating Trisha for eviction, Patsy said: “Somehow my behaviour represents someone from LA and because she is from New York we’re really different. But neither of us are from LA or New York.”
Trisha added: “LA people are more all about the crystals and the vibes. But people from New York are more like ‘let’s get it done’.”
Thankfully, Trisha told AJ and Will that she ‘has known Patsy for years’ and their squabble won’t have any impact on their friendship moving forward.
Opening up about being evicted, Trisha said she was feeling ‘a bit sad’ as it was a ‘respite’ from her cancer battle.
“It’s a bit of a bubble, it’s been my risk, not that I expected it to be. I’m completely surprised at that, but it’s been a respite from treatment and slightly more s***y stuff, I have survived worse.”
She continued: “Thank you for the opportunity to play and have fun, and I wish that everybody who has a life-limiting illness has some opportunity to just to be goofy and silly and play and be childlike and what have you, and feel a kind of mad freedom.”
The 67-year-old, who previously had cancer in 2008, revealed in February 2024 that she had been diagnosed in 2022 with stage four breast cancer – for which there is treatment, but no cure.
Celebrity Big Brother airs at 9pm on ITV1 and ITVX
