What is Patsy Palmer’s real name?
During last night’s Celebrity Big Brother aftershow, Late & Live, ITV shared a mini clip of tonight’s episode.
Within the clip, comedian Donna Preston told Patsy while in the kitchen: “It’s crazy that I’m talking to you, Bianca. Patsy Palmer, obviously.”
She added: “Great name, really great name.”
In response, Patsy said: “My name’s not really Patsy Palmer though. It’s Julie.” Completely gobsmacked, Donna jokingly told the actress to “[bleep] off”.
Questioning why she settled for Patsy Palmer, she shared it’s her mother’s name. She stated that “everyone at home” still calls Patsy by her birth name. However, she doesn’t mind how people refer to her.
Patsy adopted her mother’s maiden name, Palmer, and the pet name she gave her, Patsy.
Why did Patsy Palmer change her name?
Patsy’s assigned name at birth was Julie Julie Anne Harris before getting married in 2000 and changing it to Julie Merkell.
When she debuted as an actress in the 1980s, an American actress with the exact same name was already established.
The US star had already begun carving out a career in the 1940s before dying in 2013.
