Kensit terrified of 'Gameshow Marathon'

Patsy Kensit was so nervous about appearing on Ant and Dec's Gameshow Marathon that she requested private rehearsals.

The Emmerdale actress was coached by the show's presenters after admitting that she was terrified of looking like a fool in front of viewers.

"Patsy was extremely nervous about taking part in the games because she didn't want to end up last and get kicked off," one source told the Daily Star.

"Nearly all the others seemed very confident and she was shaking like a jelly. She asked Ant and Dec if they'd help her out backstage to calm her nerves and so they obliged - playing some of the games so she knew what to expect.

"The run-throughs seemed to help her and she did really, really well."

Kensit plays against Ruby Wax, Coronation Street's William Roache, former GMTV host Eamonn Holmes and presenter Vernon Kay, on popular 1960s show Take Your Pick.
