Eastender buys 'Tan Van'

THE ACTRESS Patsy Palmer has found a novel new use for a caravan - she uses hers as a mobile tanning shop.
Most famous for her role as Bianca in Eastenders, redheaded Palmer has launched a range of tanning products for the fairer skinned.

She now offers fake tans in her mobile salon at the summer music festivals. And it's not any old caravan either. The actress was invited to look round the newly imported Airstream at the NEC caravan show in February and was so impressed she snapped one up.

“We saw the new Airstream caravan and thought it was so beautiful we bought one, and now we go round the country to festivals in our "Tanvan" and people can come in and have a tan done,” she explains.

A long time fan of caravanning, Palmer caravanned as a child, and still indulges in the pastime today. “My family have always had caravans, and now it's something I love to do with my own three kids” she says. “The children absolutely love it. If you get a good campsite, then it's just heaven for them. The other benefit of having a touring caravan is that you can get to visit some really lovely places. It's just a question of booking into a campsite and you're there.”
