And while she may not be filming yet, show star Rosie Bentham has revealed the cast have already spent time with Patsy behind the scenes.
“We’ve done some photoshoots and stuff like that [with Patsy] already,” Rosie told The Jattvibe, who plays Gabby Thomas in the soap.
The actress, who was talking at the TRIC awards, added: “She’s just really, really excited to come back and everyone is going to be so welcoming to that.”
Previously breaking her silence on her soap return, Patsy – who joined the show in 2004 and left two years later – said: “I am really excited to return to Emmerdale.

“I treasure the years I was here before. Sadie King is a character that I really loved playing.
“The cast and crew are absolutely brilliant and I am so grateful for the chance to return to the show, it’s absolutely amazing.”
Sadie, the former wife of Jimmy King, arrived in 2004 with her devious demeanour and ruthless ambition.
Her biggest storyline saw her in a sizzling romance with Cain Dingle as they conspired to kidnap Tom King.
But Cain double‑crossed her and escaped with the £2million ransom, leaving Sadie with nothing.
Emmerdale producer Laura Shaw has said of that character Sadie’s comeback – which was first revealed by The Jattvibe – will be “explosive”.
She shared earlier this year: “We are absolutely thrilled to welcome Patsy Kensit back to the cast and crucially to see the iconic Sadie King storm back into the village.
“Her return will be explosive and guaranteed to shock.
“Sadie’s seductive demeanor, combined with her utterly ruthless nature, are set to deliver a spectacular and highly dramatic touch of class to the Yorkshire Dales.”
The exact date Patsy will appear on screen is yet to be revealed.
