PATSY Kensit has filmed a major BBC gameshow just days after it was revealed she was forced to quit Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins.

Her next project is nowhere near as daring, though she has branded it "terrifying".
Patsy revealed she signed up to appear on a celebrity edition of The Weakest Link.
The actress shared a snap of herself on the train to Glasgow, where the show is filmed, alongside the caption: 'On my way up the road to glorious Glasgow with a broken shoulder, no make up but not a broken spirit! To film the Weakest Link. I'm terrified.'
She then shared a behind-the-scenes snap from the show's iconic set, writing: 'who is the weakest link????'
Also filming the BBC quiz series was Coronation Street legend Colson Smith.
The actor, who recently bowed out of the show after more than 13 years in the role of Craig Tinker, posted a snap of his dressing room at the show's Glasgow based set.
There was no sign of the sling Patsy has recently been pictured wearing in her Instagram upload.
An insider told us that her injury was caused by a painful fall.
They said: 'Patsy had been running at pace on a treadmill while wearing a weighted backpack filled with books and weights as part of her intense training regime.
'The added weight caused her to lose balance and fall backwards off the machine, bruising her arm and shoulder in the process.

'She even flew out to Morocco, where the filming was taking place, but production soon spotted the injury and she was sent home.'
Her agent was grateful that production spotted the injury and she is now recuperating in the UK.
Patsy spoke briefly of the injury after she was spotted wearing a sling at the theatre.
She shared: "I broke my shoulder in 3 places 3 weeks ago!!! I'm healing and a slight boogie with my besties I'm staying with this week will be a tonic for sure …'
The actress, who has son Lennon with Liam Gallagher, revealed she won't be attending any of her ex's Oasis reunion shows.
She told GMB: "My 24-year-old son, he'll be there and he'll have a lovely time.
"Great for him to see all of that and I'm happy for his dad, I think it's a wonderful thing."
But she said: "I won't be attending."
The actress added: "I send only love and light."
Patsy and Liam were married for three years from 1997 until 2000, and welcomed their son Lennon in 1999.

"It's about celebrating our past while building a future we can all be proud of. "Every voice counts. Every message matters. "Together, we can 'Keep it Rhyl' and make sure this £20 million regeneration strategy truly reflects the hopes and dreams of the people who live and work here."

Actress Ruth Jones to guest present The Archers Podcast
The Welsh actress will be joined by Archers cast members Charlotte Martin (Susan Carter) and Wilf Scolding (Chris Carter), along with Sarah McDonald Hughes, the writer of this week's episodes. The podcast will be available exclusively on BBC Sounds from 7.15pm on Friday. Jones, who co-wrote and co-starred in Gavin & Stacey, described herself as a 'massive Archers addict'. In the podcast she delves into the Carter family's complex history, including Chris's turbulent relationship with Alice and a powerful archive flashback to his birth in 1988, when he was born with a unilateral cleft lip and rejected by his mother. Jones also picks her two favourite scenes of the week, reveals her favourite quirky Archers character traits, and poses some burning questions about unresolved storylines in the fictional village of Ambridge. Jones said: 'I've been an avid fan of The Archers since the early 90s. 'Despite being an actress and writer myself, the thought of actually being in The Archers, or writing it, absolutely terrifies me because in my mind Ambridge really exists.' The Archers Podcast is released weekly every Friday, immediately after The Archers is broadcast on BBC Radio 4. It is usually presented by Emma Freud, who is on holiday this week. The first national episode of The Archers was broadcast on the BBC on January 1 1951.
