FORMER EastEnders actress Patsy Palmer provided a ray of sunshine to shoppers in Worcester when she promoted her self-tanning products - and also showed her support for a Worcester hospice.

The redheaded celebrity spent an hour chatting about the products at CrownGate shopping centre, while wearing St Richard's Hospice's yellow wristband.

The star - who played Bianca in the London-set soap - is appearing in Malvern show Stepping Out until Saturday.
