Patsy Kensit Challenges Tabloid Version of Liam Gallagher Marriage

Her remarks highlight a wider reassessment of 1990s tabloid culture’s toll on celebrities’ mental health.

Overview

  • Patsy Kensit, in a Telegraph interview published Friday, said the press distorted her 1990s marriage to Liam Gallagher and described quiet nights at home eating spaghetti hoops.
  • She recalled canceling a planned 1997 wedding after intense media attention and said the couple later married in a private 7am registry ceremony at Marylebone Town Hall.
  • Kensit said tabloids weight‑shamed her and cast her as fragile, and she credited Elton John with urging her to stop reading the papers in the early 1990s.
  • She reaffirmed a 2024 diagnosis of PTSD and has previously said she has had no contact with Gallagher for many years.
  • Outlets emphasized different facets of her account, with The Independent focusing on Elton John’s advice and weight‑shaming, the Daily Mail revisiting a long‑kept Terence Stamp romance, and the Daily Star noting her upcoming faith‑based series Pilgrimage: The Road to Holy Island.
