Painfully awkward moment Patsy Palmer refuses to answer question on Celebrity Big Brother eviction night

THIS is the painfully awkward moment EastEnders star Patsy Palmer refused to speak on live TV after being booted out of Celebrity Big Brother.

The actress was the third housemate to be evicted on Triple Tuesday after following Angellica Bell and Ella Rae Wise out the door.

She screamed for joy when she she heard her name called – but went silent during her eviction interview with hosts AJ Odudu and Will Best.

After recapping her highlights, Will told Patsy: “There were a few tricky moments you had to deal with in there.

“People complaining about your brocolli, that was one…”

Patsy went stony-faced and there was total silence as the hosts waited for her to say something.

Will laughed: “You don’t want to talk about the broccoli do you…

“Absolutely fair enough.”

Again there was silence, leaving AJ to fill in the gap.

She asked: “Did it really upset you when Mickey complained to your face about the food.

“Erm, not really that.”

The squirming hosts were referring to axed housemate Mickey Rourke.

He made Patsy break down in tears after complaining about her cooking.

Mickey – who was thrown out after inappropriate and offensive remarks and behaviour – said to Patsy: “What do you know, you can’t cook.”

“I can’t cook?” asked a stunned Patsy.

“No, not even a little bit,” doubled down Mickey.

Patsy replied: “I hope that was a sarcastic joke.”

She then went to the diary room and burst into floods of tears.
