Patsy first got married in 1988 when she was 20 years old when she tied-the-knot with keyboardist Dan Donovan, 60.

The musician was a member of Big Audio Dynamite - which was founded in 1984 by former lead guitarist and co-lead vocalist of the Clash, Mick Jones.

But Patsy and Dan’s marriage lasted only three years and they were divorced in 1991 - but Patsy didn’t wait long to tie-the-knot again.

While Patsy has been married four times, she previously declared that she only considered her marriage to Jim Kerr and Liam Gallagher as significant, saying in a podcast: "I can't change the rules of the law... [but] I was with Jim, and Lennon's dad for years, so I kind of count them as my two marriages."

However, she has been linked to a number of other high profile stars in the past.
