Emmerdale actress, singer and TV icon Patsy Kensit is 54 years old today.The star, who was born on March 4, 1968, rose to fame as a child actor before going on to star in huge Hollywood films including Absolute Beginners and Lethal Weapon 2.She later went on to play Sadie King in ITV soap Emmerdale for over two years.However, she is not the only soap star to have found fame in Hollywood, with many actors going on to find new levels of fame in smash hit films.To celebrate Patsy Kensit's birthday, Daily Star looks at the soap icons who have made it to Hollywood.Long before Patsy Kensit starred in Emmerdale as Sadie King between 2004-2006, the actress had a long and successful career in Hollywood films.The actress started out as a child star, before landing her breakthrough role in the 1986 film Absolute Beginners, which also starred and featured music by the late music legend David Bowie.Over three years later, she also appeared as Rita Van Den Haas in the blockbuster film Lethal Weapon 2, who falls in love with Detective Martin Riggs.Talking about her career to The Guardian, she said: "Making the transition from child actor to teenage one was a lucky break, and then somehow I’ve continued to get work through my adulthood.

It was one of the great miscarriages of justice in boxing.Far from the worst decision ever seen, but one which just felt like it had ruined so much.Jack Catterall was robbed of becoming undisputed light-welterweight champion against Josh Taylor last weekend.But it wasn’t just the four belts he was denied taking home, it was the moment.It won’t happen but, even if the result was to be overturned and the Chorley challenger was given the WBA, IBF, WBO and IBF titles, it would never be the same.His crowning glory should have come in the ring at the Hydro in Glasgow, not over an email in the coming weeks.But that’s gone forever now. Even if Catterall goes on to win a world title in the ring, it’s unlikely to match what would have been last weekend.Upsetting the big favourite, ending an unbeaten run and beating the undisputed best in the division - that’s how you become a champion.With Taylor now moving up, Catterall’s chance may now come for a vacant title against someone we haven’t really heard of on these shores.It will still be great for Catterall, who has devoted his life to the sport, but it won’t be as special.Sadly that was taken away from him by Ian John-Lewis and Victor Loughlin, who somehow scored the fight in favour of Taylor.Let’s not forget that despite keeping his belts and unbeaten record, Taylor is also a victim here.He has wrongly been abused for the last seven days for something he didn’t do.

Tyson Fury proved his superstar status this week as he sold 85,000 tickets in three hours for his Wembley showdown with Dillian Whyte.I have always had a gut feeling that the fans would flock to see the return of the British heavyweight hero after three sensational world title fights against Deontay Wilder.We were proven right and now I’m going to seek permission to extend the capacity for the event to 100,000 for his big homecoming after four years on the road.This happened without the help of Whyte who decided not to attend Tuesday’s launch press conference.I was disappointed that he didn’t show up, but truth be told, and looking at ticket sales, it made little difference. What we can all look forward to now is a fight that has captured the public’s imagination and in a funny turn of events, Whyte not being there on Tuesday makes their first face-off on fight week even more anticipated.

He's doing his job!"What do you think about the challenge?
