Patsy Palmer: My amazing new bikini body after 4 babies

Gone are the dowdy clothes, scraped-back hairstyle and the anguished expression that came with her character’s famous catchphrase “Rickaaaay!”

Since the birth of her fourth baby, Bertie, just seven months ago, she is happier and healthier than ever.

Most women pushing 40 would dread the thought of slipping into their swimwear after having four children.

But, looking fabulous in a Liz Hurley bikini, Patsy confesses she’s now completely at ease with her new “womanly curves” and size 12 body – even though she can’t get back into her old jeans yet.

“I’m not bothered,” she says. “In fact I love being pregnant because you’re creating a little miracle.

“I’m not one of those stars who wanted to snap back to a size zero in a couple of weeks. I can’t stand the pressure it puts on women to lose weight after birth.

“I’m a mum and a real woman, and you have to accept that after having kids your body will change and never quite be the same. I’m much curvier than I was.

“My hips are wider, my boobs are bigger and I still can’t fit into some of my old clothes. Even my feet have changed! But I like the shape I am and I’m proud of my body. As you get older it’s nice to have some curves. It’s natural and womanly.

“I just wish more women would celebrate the amazing things that happen to their bodies and not feel so much pressure to snap back to a size six.

SKINNY

“Most women who look in the mirror and don’t look stick-thin think it’s wrong. But thin is not necessarily healthy.

“I used to be naturally skinny as a kid. Now I’m wearing a size 12-14, my stomach’s a little loose and I’ve got stretch marks. But so what? I’m not worried because I look at what I’ve got – four wonderful children – and it doesn’t really matter.”

Patsy, speaking during a sunshine break with her children and cab driver husband Richard Merkell at the exclusive La Manga Club resort in Murcia, Spain, adds: “I put on over two-and-a-half stone during my pregnancy and I’ve lost about one- and-a-half stone. But I’m not stressing about it and I’m not desperate to lose more weight.

“When you have a baby it’s about you, your baby and your family, not about getting your jeans back on!
