PATSY Palmer threw a birthday bash in the sunshine for her rarely seen son Fenton as he turned 21 at their Malibu home.
The ex-EastEnders star paid tribute to her second eldest child – who she says has shunned social media – in a sweet post last night.

Patsy, 49, wrote to her 355,000 followers on Instagram: “Happy Birthday to our moon child. 21 years of one of the kindest, funniest, smartest boys we know.
“21 years of kindness & love shines from you and blesses us as your parents every day. We love you ❤️❤️ We survived your entry to the world for a very magical reason.
“We all have a purpose and you certainly have shown us that yours is LOVE ❤️”
Patsy gave a glimpse of the celebrations on her Instagram Story with her husband Richard Merkell, a former black cab driver, commanding the barbeque.

Fenton and his pals including sister Emilia, 19, gathered on the huge outdoor sofas, overlooking the ocean, as music played.
The former soap star posted the videos and soaked up the views, writing: “This is how we do it”.
It comes after she recently spoke out against the Covid vaccine and encouraged her 335,000 followers not to “follow the crowd”.
Patsy married her second husband, cab driver Richard Merkell, in 2000.
The couple had been friends for 14 years before they got together.

They lived in Brighton before moving across the pond and relocating to Malibu, near Los Angeles, in 2014.
It’s Richard who Patsy credits for getting her through her past drug and alcohol addictions which she battled in her 20s.
Patsy said of her husband Richard in an interview: “He’s given me what I’ve always really wanted – a real family.”
