'EastEnders' star Patsy Palmer: 'I could have another baby'

EastEnders star Patsy Palmer has revealed that she would not rule out having another baby.

Palmer, best known for her role as Walford mum Bianca Butcher, gave birth to her fourth child Bertie late last year.

Speaking to The Mirror while on holiday in Spain with her children and husband Richard Merkell, the actress commented: "I still can't believe I'm the mother of four children. It's a huge source of pride for me, not to mention achievement.

"It's hard work but I have help from Richard. He's a great dad and a fantastic husband. Bertie is in a lovely routine now and it's great to spend this time here with him. Every day I see him doing something new and I don't want to miss a thing. It brings a tear to my eye. He is so beautiful.

"I love being a mum. I could easily have another baby and I would never rule it out. I reckon I must have a baby-making machine in me somewhere."

Palmer added: "I don't miss working at all. In fact, I don't even watch EastEnders now. I'm too busy being a mum."

Palmer made an abrupt departure from EastEnders last year as Bertie arrived almost a month prematurely.

She is now out of contract with the BBC soap but has previously said that she would like to return as Bianca "when the time is right".
