Patsy Kensit has revealed that she undresses in the dark due to her severe body insecurities.

The actress and singer, 56, told in a candid new interview how she worries about her figure so much it has caused agoraphobia (an anxiety disorder) and means she can’t let anyone see her naked with the lights on.

It comes after she recently posted a snap in a skimpy outfit and was trolled by people online for being ‘too skinny’.  

She told The Sun of her body image battles: ‘It’s affected my mental health to the point where I’ve had serious issues with agoraphobia. I’ve wasted a lot of therapy on body image… It’s not nice to be pulled apart.

‘Over the years, I got a real bashing – if someone told me they’d seen a picture of me somewhere, I’d immediately ask them if I looked fat.

‘I’ve got areas of my body I don’t like. I’d never lie on a beach unless I was covered head to toe. I just wouldn’t want that exposure.

‘I undress in the dark, too. Not even the cat, who is my pride and joy and the one dearest to my heart, has seen me naked with the lights on.’

She added that after she was critiqued for being too skinny in the recent snap she felt ‘burned’ as she has never seemed to be the ‘right size’ to people.

Patsy went on to explain that she has lost weight recently due to cutting out salt from her diet and reducing her alcohol intake.

Elsewhere in the very open interview she told how she hasn’t spoken to her ex Liam Gallagher for 25 years as it is ‘easier’ for her.

The pair were married for three years from 1997 to 2000 and share sons Lennon, 24, and Gene, 22. 

She explained that after they split she was ditched by a group of ‘phoney’ friends who she claims were only interested in her due to her relationship. 

Patsy is also mother to son James, 28, from her second marriage to Jim Kerr, which ended in 1995.

It comes after Patsy candidly discussed her four failed marriages as she plans to tie the knot for a fifth time. 

The actress, who first got married in 1988 when she was 22, has been married four times, and recently rekindled her romance with property tycoon fiancé Patric Cassidy.

And now, Patsy has finally realised that it wasn’t necessary to walk down the aisle with so many of her boyfriends.

She told the Mirror: ‘You don’t have to marry all of your boyfriends.

‘My goals always been that my sons had a really good relationship with their fathers.

‘For me. I haven’t spoken or had contact with those men. I am very supportive of their relationships with their fathers, but I don’t have one. I like it that way.’

Patsy, who first got married in 1988 when she was 22, is divorced from Dan Donovan, from 1980s pop group Big Audio Dynamite, Simple Minds front man Jim Kerr, Liam, and most recently, Nineties DJ Jeremy Healy.

Patsy is now back with Patric four months after a bitter split – telling in her most recent interview with The Sun: ‘I’m in a relationship.’

The actress announced her whirlwind engagement to Patric, 56, last year but the pair split up in July.

Now the four times married star is dating the multi millionaire property tycoon again.

Businessman Patric was said to have popped the question within weeks of their first date but Patsy was reportedly left ‘visibly distressed’ at a charity event in June when Patric snatched her diamond engagement ring from her hand during a row.

Just weeks later a spokesperson for Patsy told The Sun on Sunday: ‘I can confirm they have split, and would appreciate that she is given her privacy regarding the matter. She is currently very busy working.’

An insider added to the publication: ‘The whirlwind romance has come to a halt and the couple have decided to go their separate ways.

‘They have a lot of love for one another, but ultimately, she knew that they couldn’t make it work in the long-term so felt it was best not to move forward with their relationship.

‘Patsy has lots of exciting work opportunities at the moment, and she is throwing herself into her career.’

Shortly after her split, Patsy opened up about finding love in her 50s, defining it as ‘very tricky’.

She told The Mirror that ‘relationships are different at this age’ and it was important to be ‘hopeful and grateful’.

Patsy told the publication that it’s hard to meet people, unlike in her younger days, as she is now often in bed by 9pm.

She explained that after they split she was ditched by a group of 'phoney' friends who she claims were only interested in her due to her relationship.

The former Holby City star said during a recent stint filming Death in Paradise in the Caribbean she turned down invites from her co-stars to go for drinks as she was ready to hit the hay.

‘By the end of it they didn’t bother asking me. The thought of going to a bar or looking for love… but these things happen when you least expect it. I got set up on a blind date so there you go. I use the word companionship’.

Adding: ‘I’m not ruling the intimacy side of things out but relationships are different at this age and it is good and OK. You have got to be hopeful and grateful’.

The former singer is well-known for her somewhat entangled love life, after saying ‘I Do’ four times before.
