Patsy Kensit has thanked her two sons for helping her get through her horrific menopause. The 54-year-old actress entered the cycle aged 45 after she underwent an emergency hysterectomy and woke up in hospital with severe brain fog that left her unable to recall simple conversations and remember why she was in a shop.

She said on ITV’s Loose Women on Tuesday (23. 08. 22) her boys Lennon Gallagher, 22, who she had with ex-Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher, and her eldest boy James, 29, whom she shares with Simple Minds singer Jim Kerr, helped her pull through.

Patsy – who says her sons are “lovely boys” who treat their girlfriends with “respect” – added: “I think my sons were incredibly supportive, and people very close to me were – but there are sceptics. ” Calling for more preparation and support to be provided to women about menopause, Patsy said: “There’s a stigma to it.

We prepare our young ones for puberty and really, the menopause – ‘the change’ – it’s named perfectly, because you’re changing again, it’s like puberty. “But it’s all very hush, hush and you don’t talk about it, because it makes people feel uncomfortable. ” Patsy said she feared she was suffering dementia during menopause, and once walked out of a supermarket with a cabbage and pair of “American tan tights” after forgetting why she had left the house.
