Series 2, Episode 1 - Hospital
Patsy lands in the tabloids for her fling with an MP. She follows Edina, who has an ingrown toenail, into hospital so she can have a facelift before she appears in all the magazines, but things do not go to plan...
Further details
Patsy has been having a secret affair with a politician. Unfortunately the tabloids find out and a sex scandal erupts. For Patsy, having her moral rectitude questioned is nothing compared to the indignity of having her true age revealed in the press. She is distraught.
Meanwhile Eddy stubs her toe and insists on immediate surgery. Patsy joins her in hospital for moral support and takes the opportunity for a quick face lift.
