EastEnders star Patsy Palmer's x-rated British Soap Awards speech cut in broadcast
EASTENDERS star Patsy Palmer's bizarre x-rated acceptance speech was so explicit it was cut down for broadcast.
The actress - who plays Bianca Jackson in the BBC soap - took home the gong for the Best Comedy Performance.

She beat out Coronation Street's Jack P. Shepherd, Emmerdale's Nicola Wheeler and Hollyoaks' Nicole Barber-Lane.
But when she went up to accept her award, Patsy, who is known for being in awkward telly moments, created another one.
After thanking people for voting for her, she went on an unexpected tangent - all about her vagina.
The unexpected - and lengthy - speech had the audience in a mixture of bafflement, hysterics and shock.
But when it aired tonight the only hint Patsy had gone full speed ahead with multiple mentions was the audience and host Jane McDonald's reaction.
A source said: 'It was so bizarre.
'One minute she's doing a pretty normal acceptance speech and the next she's launched into her own vagina monologue.
'And it just kept going and going. It was pretty odd.'
Some audience members took to social media in shock before tonight's broadcast.
One wrote in response to a joke about the Soap Awards not being broadcast live for fear of what the actors would say: 'I mean perhaps they are given how many times Patsy Palmer said the word vagina in her acceptance speech!'
A second said: 'I cannot wait to see what parts of Patsy Palmer's vagina tangent makes the tv broadcast.'
And another added earlier today: 'Happy Patsy Palmer Vagina Speech Day to all who celebrate.'
