Who is Patsy Field?

Patsy Field, a 29-year-old office administrator and influencer from Orpington has revealed that her disability is the one quality she would like her other islanders to know about.

Field said: “I’ve got something very special about me which is my disability, it’s a condition I was born with called Erb’s Palsy.”

She continued: “It doesn’t define who I am, but it makes me a little different, although I’ve learnt to get on with it and it’s never held me back. My friends would say that I’m the loudest person in the group, I’m the one who’s always up for doing a dare, they’d say I was the life and soul of the party.”

She added: “My family would say that I’m bossy and that it’s always my way or the highway, they’d say I rule the roost.”
