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.
Liam Gallagher's ex wife Patsy Kensit reveals if she will be going to see Oasis tonight as reunion tour kicks off
'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.

Danny Dyer spills the beans on very raunchy opening scene in new show which will make even Rivals fans blush
HIS raunchy scenes as loveable Freddie Jones in Rivals has re-established Danny Dyer as a TV hunk at 47. So fans will be thrilled he's back in the buff in series two of Sky's Mr Bigstuff — even if the actor reckons the show's title isn't, ahem, perhaps the most fitting. 9 In the comedy, which returns to Sky and Now on Thursday, Danny 's character Lee is a wayward geezer who rocks up at his straight-laced brother Glen's carpet factory, seeking a new chapter. Laughing, Danny said: 'Ever run through a council estate naked? It's a whole new ball game, literally. 'I was concentrating on the weather, more than anything else, you know, that it wasn't too cold! 'It was broad daylight. I didn't go fully [nude], I had a little sock over my Hampton.' The former EastEnders hardman didn't mind stripping off because it was important for the storyline, with Lee chasing down a thug who had thrown a brick through a window. He added: 'You read this stuff, and you go, 'OK, I've got to physically do it'. But it's important to the show, it's a vital scene. You go, 'He's back'. It's the way of showing the alpha is back.' It is all quite different to Danny's more romantic scenes in Disney+ bonkbuster Rivals. And he reckons playing the two roles in tandem has finally proven his clout as an actor. Danny mused: 'No one really saw me in that rom-com light. I'm really appreciative that Rivals went, 'No, this is what you're going to do, something completely different'. 'These two jobs came to me back-to-back, two very different roles. I did Rivals first. I came straight out of Rivals, shaved my tache off, and went into Mr Bigstuff. 9 Danny Dyer's TV comedy debut in new all-star series just days away as launch date is confirmed 'I picked up the script and went, 'No, this isn't Freddie, I'm not picking up where I left off'.' In the past, Danny has firmly planted himself in his comfort zone as a Cockney hardman. He said: 'I do feel when I did that show called Heat, on Channel 5, just after I left EastEnders after nine years . . . I was playing [EastEnders character] Mick, really. I'd played him for so long, you pick up habits.' I'm sure Danny's fans won't mind if he makes nudity a habit. Tongues wagging in villa 9 9 9 9 Love Island 's most brutal love triangle in years ended in explosions in Friday's episode, when Lauren Wood was booted out in a vote. Some 24 hours later her man Harrison Solomon decided to follow, to the relief of the other woman in the love mess, Toni Laites. It should have left peace to reign the ITV2 dating villa. But we all know Love Island bosses don't quite subscribe to that old adage 'make love, not war'. Instead, they ramped up the drama with a savage kissing game. Emma received a text, which read: 'Islanders, pucker up and prepare to bring the passion. "It's time to find out who's the ultimate snogger in today's kissing competition.' The boys didn't hold back in their feedback, with Dejon slating Yasmin: 'That kiss was two words . . . no good. Zero out of ten.' There's more romance on EastEnders than Love Island these days. Painted in prime colours 9 9 Fake Or Fortune is back for a 13th series and it could prove lucky for one amateur art collector, who believes he has a piece painted by Sir Winston Churchill. In tonight's opener on BBC One, Barry is hopeful the painting he bought for £140 at a Sussex fair could be a winner because hidden writing on the back notes it was painted in June 1916 by the wartime PM. If the team of experts prove it's genuine, it could be worth half a million pounds. Co-host Fiona Bruce said: 'As always, our investigations in this series have been full of twists. 'From an unloved picture hidden in a cupboard to one picked up by chance as part of a job lot at auction, the series continues to uncover hidden treasures.' Nick Viall, who found fame on The Bachelor, and his wife Natalie Joy, who is 18 years younger, will host a new dating series on Netflix called Age Of Attraction. It will see singles from 22 to 59 explore 'ageless' dating where they don't reveal their vintage. It airs later this year. Trinny casts regrets 9 Trinny Woodall has built a multi-million-pound beauty business, but says she won't forget the ruin she faced after leaving BBC hit What Not To Wear for ITV version Trinny & Susannah Undress. The show with Susannah Constantine only managed two series. It meant she had to take on work abroad and leave her young daughter Lyla. Trinny today tells Fearne Cotton's Happy Place podcast: 'The biggest challenge for me was when Lyla was four and I stopped working in England. 'For a lot of the year, I left London on a Sunday and came back on a Friday. 'I now think what did Lyla lose by my not changing job to stay in the UK. I could have said, 'We'll downsize'.' CBB star Angellica Bell has teamed up with Girlguiding as their newest ambassador. She will unveil new badges for girls aged 4-18 across Rainbows, Brownies, Guides and Rangers. The badge activities including interior design, creating calm spaces and discovering courage. Martin's Nott a pain now Line Of Duty star Martin Compston has revealed how his character went from 'pain in the arse' to hero, thanks to DI Steve Arnott being thrown down stairs by a villain. After being in a wheelchair, Martin returned as a gun-toting saviour. Talking on Westlife star Nicky Byrne 's HQ podcast, he said: 'My character is a pain in the arse; the dick wears a waistcoat and that annoying accent I do. "They [the writers] said from that moment his relationship with the audience will change, they'll realise that if he was dead, what they'd lose. 'They were right. He was the hero of the show. Coming back – having been a wheelchair – with a gun felt like a moment. 'It took six years to get there.'

Handsome soap star signs up to celebrity dating app Raya and returns to UK to find love
RICKY WHITTLE has come back to London to look for love. The ex-Hollyoaks actor, who moved to Los Angeles to work in Hollywood, has signed up to celebrity dating app Raya. 11 11 One of my pals spotted his profile on the app, with one picture showing him cuddling a quokka and another of him running shirtless through a street. 'It's like he's saying I'm cuddly, hot and very available,' my mate said. 'His profile popped up a couple of weeks ago. It says he's an actor who lives in LA but was visiting London. 'Given how good he looks, I bet he had loads of people swiping on his profile.' And judging by how well Raya is working for some in the capital, I'm not surprised Ricky is trying his luck back on home ground. Last month I revealed Lily Allen and James Norton had started hooking up, and they're both big fans of the app. Ricky is best known over here for playing Calvin Valentine on Hollyoaks. After his character was killed off in 2010, Ricky moved abroad and has starred in shows including The 100 and American Gods. He previously thanked Hollyoaks for giving him the best start in acting, saying: 'It's an education. "My character went from being the good guy, to the bad guy to the club owner, to the policeman, to your sister's on drugs, to you'd killed someone and then he's back to life.' I hope Ricky's experience on Raya is less of a rollercoaster than his on-screen Hollyoaks life. 11 REUNION FOR JACKSON THREE 11 THERE was an impromptu reunion for one of the most famous musical families of all time when Janet Jackson joined The Jacksons on stage on Saturday. The group, now touring as brothers Jackie and Marlon, briefly introduced their chart-topping sister to the stage at their Heritage Live Festivals show at Englefield Estate near Reading. All For You singer Janet, who lives in London, hasn't been on stage in the UK since her critically acclaimed tour here last autumn. But with The Jacksons still going – they have another show in Audley End in Essex on July 31 – I'm hoping they can persuade her to entertain us again soon. DO NOT BELIEVE ALL YOU SIA SIA has seemingly wasted no time moving from her husband Daniel Bernad after filing for divorce in March. The singer was snapped hand in hand with fellow Aussie Harry Jowsey, a reality star two decades her junior, who found fame on Netflix dating show Too Hot To Handle. I use the word 'seemingly' because they are both notorious jokers, and this cosy snap of them heading out to dinner in LA looks like a hoax to me. It certainly isn't a 'romance' I saw coming. RACY J-LO SHOW IS A GIFT 11 11 JENNIFER LOPEZ turns 56 on Thursday but you wouldn't know it by the racy moves she has been pulling on stage. Currently on a tour of some of the most random locations around Europe, she played Tenerife at the weekend, where it looked like she was recreating positions from The Joy Of Sex. The Jenny From The Block singer got on all fours and was thrown about by hunky dancers during a particularly steamy routine. I can only hope I'm still that flexible when I'm in my fifties – and I'm sure my fella does too. As well as the tour, J-Lo is giving fans a gift for her own big day by announcing a single called Birthday. Encouraging fans to pre-save it online, she wrote: 'It's my birthday and you're all invited. Party details on Thursday.' Something tells me she won't be gorging on mountains of cake like the rest of us. RICK: I'M GUNNA TEAM UP 11 11 RICK ASTLEY wants to work with Blossoms on original music after playing a handful of shows where they covered songs by The Smiths. The gigs with the indie band went down a storm and now the Never Gonna Give You Up singer has admitted he doesn't want to, er, give them up. In an exclusive chat with Bizarre, he said: 'Obviously Blossoms are amazing players, great musicians, and great writers. And I kind of think, yeah, it would be great to do something. 'We have talked occasionally about doing something, but I don't know what that would be. 'I'm always a bit nervous of it, because one of the weird things is, I want to keep my friends as friends, and I don't want to go through a recording process and fall out with them.' But fans have a wait on their hands for a follow-up to 2023's Are We There Yet?. Asked if he'd begun work on his tenth album, Rick said: 'No, we're having a quiet one this year, but I was in my studio this morning. I like tinkering. Who knows, we'll see. 'I don't think I'll ever stop making music, I just don't know whether anyone's going to listen to it.' BILLIE EILISH has teased she is working on 'something very special' with Titanic director James Cameron. During the first of her four Hit Me Hard And Soft tour dates at Manchester's Co-op Live on Saturday, the singer said the performance would form the basis of their new project, which fans have assumed will be a state-of-the-art live film. She told the crowd: 'I can't say much about it but I'm working on something very, very special with James Cameron and it's going to be in 3D. 'These four shows here in Manchester, you and me are part of a thing that I am making with him. He's in this audience somewhere, just saying.' YOU couldn't blame Liam Gallagher for wanting to put his feet up in front of the telly during rare nights off from the Oasis tour. But the frontman, known for his wild nights out, has been enjoying high-brow evenings – at the theatre. One of my mates spotted him in the audience at Sadler's Wells in London this week watching a ballet of Quadrophenia. Somehow, I doubt Liam will be pulling on a tutu any time soon. LEIGH-ANNE has hinted she almost packed in her solo career amid her split from Warner Records. I told in May how the former Little Mix star had parted ways with the label and she's just released her new single Been A Minute as an independent artist. She said in her newsletter: 'So much has changed this past year – new chapter, new energy, new team . . . There were moments I wasn't sure this would even happen . . . I had to back myself again.' THE WEEK IN BIZNESS TUESDAY: Christina Aguilera and Cher are tipped to attend the gala night performance of the new musical remake of their movie Burlesque, at London's Savoy Theatre, starring breakout performer Jess Folley. THURS: Latitude Festival gets underway in Suffolk with Sting, Snow Patrol, Fatboy Slim, Alison Moyet, MIKA and Clean Bandit among acts on the line-up. FRIDAY: Adam Sandler digs out his golf clubs to star in Happy Gilmore 2, which will hit Netflix 29 years after he originally played the frustrated sportsman. SATURDAY: Coronation Street's Jack P Shepherd, better known on the cobbles as David Platt, ties the knot to his partner Hanni Treweek in a ceremony in Manchester.

Strictly star breaks down in tears and says he's ‘ashamed' after falling victim to cruel scam
A STRICTLY star broke down in tears while revealing he fell victim to a cruel scam. TV and radio presenter Ore Oduba, 39, won the BBC dancing series back in 2016. 4 4 Taking to Instagram, the star opened up about having fallen for a scam. During an appearance on Loose Women, Ore praised US podcaster Mel Robbins and her self-help books. In particular, he told how Mel's bestselling 2024 release The Let Them Theory had "changed his life". Speaking in an emotional six-minute video, Ore shared: "I reposted that interview, I tagged the Mel Robbins podcast, tagged the Let Me theory, tagged Mel, tagged everybody who cared, and then I got an email from my agent who forwarded on an email from the team at the Mel Robbins podcast. "I could have cried - they knew who I was! I got an email from the Mel Robbins podcast team." Continuing, Ore explained how he "told Mel everything" and added: "How she had changed my life. "And I literally said at the end of the email, even for you to know who I am, is everything. Thank you so much for getting in touch." After revealing he was "ashamed and embarrassed" about falling for the con, Ore recounted how the email extended an invite to Mel's hugely popular podcast. He said: "I wrote back and I said, "Mel, I'm holding back tears. Is this for real? You must have AI helping you correspond with all of these fans." "Mel wrote back, "of course it's me - it's Mel Robbins!" So then I lost my s**t, I absolutely lost my s**t, in tears on an Avanti West Coast train from Birmingham to London, thinking that my whole life was about to change." Ore Oduba and Portia Announce Separation After Nine Years Ore recalled he "used to host a show about scammers" and had "watched enough Watchdog to last a lifetime". However, as the star said: "That doesn't stop me being in the middle of it. 'I never thought I'd be the person that would be scammed.' He realised the email came from a Gmail account - which sparked an immediate red flag. Even worse, Mel's name had been incorrectly spelled with a double 'L.' Upon contacting Mel's PR team via her official website, Ore had his fears confirmed - any correspondence sent from a Gmail account would likely be malicious. His post caption included: "Still inspired by and love @melrobbins@letthemtheory and so grateful to them for their swift response. I got lucky - it could so easily have been too late." "I was excited and then so gutted for you listening to this. Important to share your story. Hope you're ok." Another follower wrote: "Oh Ore, I'm just sad that it wasn't the real Mel team for you." A third added: "Easy mistake to make because they went via your agent first!" While Ore himself remarked: "Thank you so much everybody… there's a lot of kindness out there, I see it and I'm grateful for it (dw I've deleted and blocked the drivel." 4
