She wrote: "No skiing for me as I’ve got pneumonia so spa and steam and thermals up to my eyeballs ….

"Thank you to the amazing NHS for taking care of me on the 29th of December at A&E in Southport you are the true hero’s on this planet. Health is paramount."

Patsy's post comes just a week after she treated fans by stripping down naked for a bath snap ahead of her debut.

She looked radiant as she went make-up free for the look, pulling her blonde locks up into a messy bun.

She sat at the edge of the bath, her hands out of the water on the edge, as she looked up at the camera.

The steamy snap saw her cover her assets with clever camera angles, as her arms made sure her chest was hidden.

She added two Santa emojis in the caption, as she teased her Instagram fans: "Merry Christmas."

Meanwhile fans were over the moon that Patsy would be joining the EastEnders cast as Lola Pearce's mum Emma Harding.

Patsy, who previously starred in Emmerdale and Holby City, will appear on screen for the first time next month.

Her character Emma will be seen returning to Walford to reunite with Lola for the first time since she left her with her father aged three.

The pair will get to know one another again as Lola struggles following her brain tumour diagnosis.

Patsy said of joining EastEnders: “I’m so excited to be visiting Walford for this storyline. It has always been a dream of mine to appear in EastEnders.

“The cast, producers, writers and crew have been wonderful, and I’ve had a ball. Thank you so much for having me”
