Kensit gutted as TV comic dumps her
SHE stuck by her vow to stay away from bad boys - but that hasn't
helped Patsy Kensit on her quest for long-lasting love.
For we can reveal that clean-living Little Britain star David Walliams has dumped the divorced actress after just a few months.
And to make matters worse he has already moved on - he's turned his attention to model turned TV presenter Lisa Snowdon.
Patsy, who started dating David in November, is said to be 'gutted' by the break-up.
Yesterday the devastated actress, who turns 36 today, insisted that, despite the split, the pair were "still friends."
Meanwhile, David is getting over the romance pretty quickly and has already worked his charm on Lisa, 29, who recently split from CSI actor Gary Dourdan. A source tells us: "David thinks Patsy's lovely, but he has got a packed schedule and wasn't after anything serious.
"He ended it last Friday. The very next day he bumped into Lisa at a TV bash and wasted no time in asking for her number."
Walliams has risen from TV obscurity to become one of the country's hottest properties, making an appearance as Alfie Moon's pal in EastEnders and scooping the Best Newcomer gong at the British Comedy Awards last December.
The 32-year-old describes himself as 'very clean living', and prior to dating Patsy had shied away from celebrity girlfriends.
Our source continued: "He's not really one for the limelight - we all thought Patsy was a one-off and were surprised it lasted as long as it did. But he's fancied Lisa for ages and when he met her he thought she was even sexier in the flesh - she seemed equally keen on him and agreed to go on a date immediately".
Lisa's no stranger to dating stars. As well as Gary she has also stepped out with George Clooney.
Unlucky in love Patsy has three failed marriages behind her. Her bitter split from Liam Gallagher led to a stint in rehab, but she's getting over the break-up by throwing herself into rehearsals for her new role in Emmerdale. She's also been married to Big Audio Dynamite star Dan Donovan and Simple Minds' Jim Kerr.
She also had a much-publicised affair with married ex-soccer star Ally McCoist, who's now getting divorced.
A pal of Patsy's said: "She's down about the whole thing - she was after a stable relationship and she was hoping to get that with David.
Maybe those bad boys aren't so bad after all.

Meet Wool-Patsy Kensit
By SUN ONLINE REPORTER
EMMERDALE'S sexy new star Patsy Kensit will make a dramatic entrance to the
show next month - in a huge chopper.
The 36-year-old actress - who plays the soap's new superbitch Sadie King -
will arrive by helicopter wearing a glam fur coat.
Speaking on the set of the Yorkshire show after filming her opening scenes,
the star admitted she was nervous but excited about her new role.
"It's been like starting a new school," she said. "Any job is nerve
wracking at first but as soon as I received my first scripts I've just been beside
myself with excitement.
"The cast have been incredibly welcoming and Sadie is going to be so much fun
to play."
Patsy plays the scheming wife of wealthy businessman Jimmy King (Nick Miles)
and her first scenes will be screened on May 10.
A show spokesman: "She is a seductive, powerful and manipulative woman who
knows what she wants and makes sure she gets it."
Producers hope her character will follow in the footsteps of the soap's last
superbitch, Kim Tate.
Patsy began her acting career in a Birds Eye ad at the age of five but her most
famous role came as Mel Gibson's love interest in the movie Lethal Weapon 2.

Patsy to star as scheming pouting maneater
Soap superbitch ... Patsy
POUTING Patsy Kensit arrives in Emmerdale to become the next soap superbitch.
Patsy, 36 — ex-wife of Oasis bad boy Liam Gallagher and Simple Minds frontman
Jim Kerr — this week began filming her new ITV1 role as maneater Sadie King.
Insiders say her character Sadie is a rich temptress who breaks men’s hearts — so
Patsy won’t require too much effort in acting out the role.
Three-times married Patsy, who’s first husband was Big Audio Dynamite star
Dan Donovan, had a steamy affair with Scottish footballer Ally McCoist which
ended
his marriage in 2001.
The Emmerdale insider said: “She dresses to kill and knows how to twist any man.
She will get up a lot of noses — and send ratings soaring.”
Viewers will see ultra-glam Sadie swoop into the Yorkshire Dales in a helicopter.
Locals are open-mouthed as she makes her busty entrance — sporting a fur coat
and huge diamond ring.
Sadie is the wife of businessman Jimmy King (Nick Miles).
She arrives for the birthday party of millionaire father-in-law Tom (Ken Farrington).
But the insider warned: “She is a manipulative woman who knows what she wants
and makes sure she gets it.”
Sadie and her husband are soon scheming to steal the Tates’ business empire.
Lethal Weapon 2 star Patsy, who is renting a house near the set to be on hand
for busy filming schedules, said: “Any new job is nerve-racking.
“But as soon as I received my first scripts I was beside myself with excitement.
The cast have been incredibly welcoming. Sadie is going to be so much fun to
play.”

Kensit: Glamour girl
Patsy adds some glitz to Emmerdale
by Rachael Jolley
Glamorous Patsy Kensit will make a big entrance in Weatherfield
on May 10 when her helicopter swoops in for Tom King's 65th birthday
party.
She joins Emmerdale's cast as Sadie King, wife of millionaire Jimmy, and will have a stunning wardrobe to go with her big attitude.
An Emmerdale insider said: "Sadie is very controlled, a bit manipulative and very glamorous."
But she denied that Sadie will be a superbitch or a maneater like Charity.
Kensit, who made her acting debut at six, will have plenty of real-life experience of glamour to draw on.
She has already begun filming for her new role, but the question of where Sadie is going to shop for her glitzy wardrobe is not easily answered. "Certainly not in the village. Perhaps she'll be taking her helicopter down to London," quipped an insider. Or there's always Harvey Nicks in Leeds...
Her character Sadie is very family orientated, but will quickly have a spat with Charity. An insider said: "There's likely to be fireworks between her and Charity."
