Valerie Hobson

When Profumo's resignation brought disgrace in 1963, she stood by him, and they worked together for charity for the remainder of her life. In 2004 Kensit joined the cast of British soap opera Emmerdale, playing the role of Sadie King, and also regularly featured in the third series of Channel 4's Bo Selecta. In 1952 she divorced her first husband - the film producer Sir Anthony Havelock-Allan (1904-2002) and married the MP John Profumo, giving up acting shortly afterwards. Her last starring role was in the Newcastle based flop The One and Only which failed to get wide distribution. Her best-known performance was as the "good" girl in the comedy, Kind Hearts and Coronets. They divorced in 2000. She was born in Northern Ireland. Kensit and Gallagher had a son, Lennon, named after John Lennon.

Valerie Hobson (1917-1998) was a British actress, who appeared in a number of British films during the 1940s and 1950s. During her second marriage she gave birth to her first child, James. In 1997 she married Liam Gallagher from Oasis. In 1992 she married Jim Kerr, lead singer of Simple Minds. In 1988 she married Dan Donovan of band Big Audio Dynamite. All her husbands have been musicians.

Patsy has been married three times. Kensit attracted ridicule for stating in an interview that she was a serious actress and did not trade just on her looks before doing gratuitous nude in three films back to back. Another notable film role was in Lethal Weapon 2 (1989), in which she played Rika van den Haas, the South African consulate secretary that cop Martin Riggs (Mel Gibson) falls in love with. The film was critically panned and was also box office flop.

Her big break came in 1986 when she was selected to play Crepe Suzette, the female lead in the movie Absolute Beginners, with David Bowie as her co-star. The band had three Top 40 singles ("Stay with me", "I'm not scared" and "Cross My Heart") but television appearances on programmes like Top of the Pops gave much needed exposure to Kensit. In 1985 Kensit was the lead singer of band Eighth Wonder. In 1974 she had her first role in a movie; The Great Gatsby starring Mia Farrow.

Aged only four, she appeared in a television advert for Birds Eye Peas. It soon became clear that Patsy was to become an actress. She was born Patsy Jude Kensit in Hounslow, London, with Reggie Kray as her godfather. She has starred in several prominent films but is perhaps more well-known for her three celebrity marriages.
