Eastenders star Patsy Palmer has sworn off cosmetic surgery after a nightmare ordeal which landed her in hospital after a botched botox job.
The 38-year-old soap actress was rushed to emergency suffering heart palpitations and unable to move her head recently.
Patsy, who is a household name thanks to her role as Bianca on the soap, made the shocking revelation during an appearance on Piers Morgan's Life Stories.
'I was freaking out,' she told Morgan. 'I got so panicky and I ended up in A&E.'
The flame-haired actress, who has dabbled in collagen injections in the past, has sworn off the enhancements after her ordeal.
She says: 'That was my relationship with Botox over. I got really scared about it.'
Patsy revealed last month that she had quit the long-running show amid the cot-death storyline controversy.
She had been on maternity leave after giving birth to son Bertie in December but is not planning to return.

Patsy, who has played Bianca Jackson since 1993, recently told Hello magazine about her nine-year-old daughter Emilia's upset at the controversial plot and how she pleaded with her not to return.
Her exit came just weeks after her co-star Samantha Womack, who plays Ronnie Branning who is caught up in the controversial plot, also quit the soap.
And Palmer, 38, said that the plot, in which Ronnie swaps her dead newborn for Kat and Alfie Moon's baby boy, made her daughter cry.

Speaking to Hello! magazine, Patsy revealed: 'Emilia adores her new baby brother Bertie and she couldn't believe something like that could happen.
'She was sobbing and kept saying, "Please don't go back there, Mummy".
'It affected me too, especially after having Bertie, so I can imagine how other mums must have felt.'
She says she said she has no plans to go back to Albert Square.
She said: 'I've just finished my contract with EastEnders and I've decided I don't want to be tied to anything.
