Patsy said: ‘My son’s are incredible. Being a mother has broken my heart. because they grow and they leave.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘I was so codependent on them to the point it wasn’t fair on them. I could sense that in them.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘They’re 25 and 33, I mean, I had a child at that age, and so I think for a few years, I put way too much pressure on them.\u00a0So watching them leave home was tough.’<\/p>\n

The actress, 57, has James, 32, who she shares with his Simple Minds singer Jim Kerr and Lennon, 25, with ex-husband Liam Gallagher , and explained how she put them above all else<\/p>\n

She continued: ‘My eldest son is pathological about his privacy. I always kept them out, away from children’s premieres, I didn’t want to open the door to them being photographed.’\u00a0<\/p>\n

When Patsy starred as\u00a0Sadie King in the ITV soap opera Emmerdale she admitted she would commute to the set in the Yorkshire Dales, to avoid uprooting her son’s lives.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘I would commute, driving to Emmerdale, ITV pulled me in at one point and was like “this is dangerous what you are doing”\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘I couldn’t have pulled them out of school and out them in one up North.\u00a0I\u00a0would always use the kids as an excuse like, “I have to get back to the kids.”<\/p>\n

‘I would take James everywhere with me, but it got to the point that I couldn’t keep dragging him out of school.’\u00a0<\/p>\n
