That relationship became so big.

It was a very iconic time. Patsy Kensit, 58, has revealed Noel Gallagher confronted her over abandoning her career during her marriage to his brother Liam The Emmerdale star became one of the most famous celebrity couples in the Nineties when she began dating Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher, now 53 (pictured in 1999)’I lost part of who I was going into that relationship. I somehow lost her.’Patsy was referring to the couple’s famous 1997 Vanity Fair shoot, which saw them sprawled together on a bed covered in Union Jack bedding for the magazine’s ‘London Swings! Again!’ issue celebrating Cool Britannia. The image became one of the defining photographs of the Britpop era.Patsy had been acting since childhood and had starred opposite Mel Gibson in Hollywood blockbuster Lethal Weapon 2, as well as appearing in Absolute Beginners, before becoming synonymous with the Britpop era.She recalled: ‘I remember Noel, who is lovely and divine, and he’s just always been lovely to me over the years.’I remember him taking me to one side and saying, “Why aren’t you working? Why aren’t you…” because I was always off doing films and going to the States and stuff.’And I remember saying, “Because I’m too afraid to leave him on his own.”‘Patsy said Noel encouraged her to do more with her own career, but her turbulent relationship with Liam eventually ‘ran its course’.She added: ‘There were some fantastic times. We were very irresponsible. I always say I had some very late nights in the Nineties.’Patsy met Liam in 1995 and the pair married at Marylebone Town Hall in April 1997, becoming fixtures of the Cool Britannia era.They divorced in September 2000, the year after welcoming their son Lennon.Looking back at how they first met, Patsy said she encountered Liam on a flight to Glasgow, when one of the first things he did was compliment the small round John Lennon-style sunglasses she was wearing. But Patsy has now told how the relationship became so all-consuming that she ‘lost part’ of herself and stopped taking the film roles because she was ‘too afraid to leave him on his own’ Patsy revealed it was Liam’s older brother Noel, 59, (R) who eventually took her aside and questioned why she had put her career on hold Patsy shares model son Lennon, 26, with Liam (pictured together in 2023)She said: ‘The first thing he said to me was, “Oh, top bins.” I was really tempted to give them to him. Then I thought no, I got these in New York, and I actually really quite like them.’As the years went on, he’d always come home with a new pair of sunglasses that someone had given him, but I was so pleased that I wasn’t that girl.’She said they then ‘just kept running into each other’, adding of the start of their romance: ‘It was quite sweet. It wasn’t a sleazy kind of get-together.’Patsy was still married to her second husband, Simple Minds singer Jim Kerr, now 67, at the time, but said the pair were already ‘leading separate lives’.She and Jim share a son, James, 32, and divorced in 1996 after four years of marriage.Patsy said she does have regrets over how events unfolded, but would never wish away the relationship because it gave her Lennon.She reflected: ‘Do I regret that? Yeah, I look back now, but then I wouldn’t have had my youngest son, and that’s a blessing. It came out of, you know, some very tough times in that marriage.’The actress – who is now preparing to return to Emmerdale as scheming Sadie King after a 20-year absence – also reflected on the extraordinary level of scrutiny surrounding her and Liam at the time, saying the pair came to represent something much bigger than their relationship.’It was bigger than me. The pressure was huge,’ she said.
