Angry Patsy Palmer storms off GMB interview over 'addict' tagline

Patsy Palmer stormed off GMB today over the tagline that was put over her interview.

The former EastEnders star appeared on the show via video link from her home in Malibu to speak about her new book.

But when Patsy saw the tagline "From addict to wellness guru" she took offence and told hosts Ben Shephard and Susanna Reid that she wasn't going to do the interview.

Susanna tried to ask her about her life in Malibu and if she had more privacy over there.

Patsy said: "Yeah it is, you know what I actually don't want to do this interview, because I don't even want to look at what it says at the bottom of that screen, so I'm going to switch off, do a real Piers Morgan and say it's not ok to say addict to wellness guru on the bottom of the screen."

Susanna said: "Well huge apologies for that."

Patsy said: "My addictions that I had years ago that were talked about by me many many years ago and it's over."

Ben said: "I'm so sorry about that Patsy, huge apologies."

Patsy said: "Don't worry about it but I don't really want to talk to you."

Patsy then quit the interview leaving Susanna and Ben baffled and trying to explain.

Ben said: "It wasn't our intention to upset you, that's a quote from Patsy's book and as she's talking about things in the past.

"It certainly wasn't our intention to upset Patsy."

Susanna said: "No I had no idea that was on the screen."
