WEB BAKING WITH PATSY PALMER

Fans pay £1000 to meet soap star on Scots online venue

- BY RICK FULTON

EASTENDERS legend Patsy Palmer could turn your lockdown soggy bottom into a frothy peak with an online baking or DJ set. The actress, who played Bianca, is one of the stars who have joined a new Scotsbased virtual venue called Social Eyes. Since the pandemic, we have all got more used to meeting up on Zoom for business or pleasure.

With celebs looking for work and wanting to connect with their fans, the site has brought all the elements together.

For £1000 for eight of you, Patsy – runner-up on The Great Celebrity Bake Off – will create a sweet treat in an hour-long call while answering questions.

Or for £ 1200 and a maximum of 20 guests she will bring the party to you DJing and taking song requests and shout-outs from you and your guests.

A spokesman for SocialEyes said: “This is a more fun way to do a meet-andgreet. You bake with her and it’s fully interactiv­e so you get to ask questions and have a good chat over the mixing bowl.

“We hope having access to celebs and influencer­s like Patsy on this platform, giving you and your friends online experience­s is a better way to keep you entertaine­d.”

“The money will be split between the artist who will donate a percentage of their fee to a charity of their choice which we will match and give to charities set up to help the live sector which is struggling”

SocialEyes has fellow EastEnder Laurie Brett offering to be a quizmaster in a 30-minute quiz for eight people for £350.

She said: “I’ve got time on my hands and SocialEyes felt like a fun way to entertain people.”

Other stars getting in on the action include actress Gaynor Faye and Scots singer Horse.
