“Your kindness, generosity and humor have been so cathartic to me. We laughed, I shed a few tears as we discussed special memories.

“But mostly we laughed and giggled and had a blast. Thank you my dear angel, I loved every second’.

It comes after Good Morning Britain was criticized for drawing ‘inappropriate’ attention to Patsy’s engagement ring during an interview last month.

Mother-of-two Patsy announced her engagement to millionaire real estate mogul Patric Cassidy following his romantic proposal on an idyllic overseas beach in February.

The ring, believed to be a 12-carat oval-shaped diamond worth more than £1 million, became apparent when the actress, who has been married four times, discussed her new role in BBC soap EastEnders with Kate Garraway.

As she concluded her interview, the presenter couldn’t help but refer to the beautiful piece of jewelery and tell Kensit, ‘I’m so distracted by that huge diamond ring! I’m blinded by it!’

But the quip went down badly with viewers of the ITV breakfast show, and one faction immediately voiced their grievances on Twitter.

“Is @gmb really wise to show @patsy_kensit’s engagement ring on national TV?!?!” Read an annoyed tweet.

Was it relevant to the interview at all? There are a LOT of horrible people out there who wouldn’t think twice about attacking someone with a lot of money on their finger.”

In response, a second added, “I assume she wears it most of the time, but I understand Kate didn’t have to bring it up and it didn’t seem relevant to the conversation.” You can congratulate without saying you’re blinded by the ring.’

“Patsy herself posted it on her Instagram page a few weeks ago and it got picked up by the celebrity newspapers and magazines,” a third commented.

To clarify her first point, a tweeter added, “Okay. My tweet was based more on people out there knowing she’s wearing it now and also knowing where she is. GMB is live.’
