Good Morning Britain viewers were left fuming after bosses “flashed” Patsy Kensit’s £1million engagement ring on TV – putting her “at risk".
The 55-year-old actor, who got engaged to millionaire property tycoon Patric Cassidy in February, appeared on the ITV show on Friday (March 17).
Sitting down to talk to hosts Ben Shephard and Kate Garraway about her new stint on EastEnders, Patsy looked gorgeous in a cosy black jumper.

Adding to the look, Patsy, who plays Emma Harding on the BBC soap, rocked her bedazzled engagement ring – believed to be worth over £1million.
However, as her interview came to an end, host Kate couldn’t help but reference Patsy’s diamond ring.
The ITV regular told her: “I am so distracted by that huge diamond ring! I am blinded by it!”
But Kate’s quip didn’t go down too well with viewers at home who were left fuming and took to Twitter to share their thoughts.
“Was it even relevant to the interview?? There are a lot of horrible people out there who wouldn’t think twice about targeting someone who has a lot of money hanging off their finger,” raged one person.
Another added: “Is it really wise for @gmb to go flashing @patsy_kensit’s engagement ring on national TV?!?!”
In response, a third chimed in: “I presume she wears it most of the time but I take your point that Kate didn't need to bring it up and it seemed irrelevant to the conversation.
“You can offer congratulations without saying you're blinded by the ring.”
A fourth viewer pointed out: “Patsy herself posted it on her Instagram page a few weeks ago and it got picked up by the papers and celebrity magazines.”
However, clarifying their initial point, one person added: “Ok. My tweet was based more on the fact that people out there know that she is wearing it right now and they also know her location. GMB is live.”
Patsy’s engagement will be the fifth time lucky for the star, with her first proposal dating back to the 80s.
She married Big Audio Dynamite star Dan Donovan in 1988 when she was 22, however, the pair split in 1991.
One year later, she tied the knot with Simple Minds frontman Jim Kerr, but the couple went their separate ways in 1995.
Patsy walked down the aisle for the third time in 1997 when she married Oasis singer Liam Gallagher.
The couple divorced in 2000 and the Kill Cruise star went on to marry again in 2007 after meeting DJ Jeremy Healy.
They split just one year later and following her fourth failed marriage, she vowed to never marry again.
