Patsy Kensit tells her man to beat it

Patsy Kensit has split up with her boyfriend Killa Kela.

The actress, who had been dating the "human beatbox" for over a year, dumped him after telling friends that they no longer had much in common.

Patsy, 39 - who has been married to Oasis star Liam Gallagher, Simple Minds singer Jim Kerr and Big Audio Dynamite keyboardist Dan Donovan - began dating Killa, real name Lee Potter, just over a year ago.

At the time she couldn't stop gushing about how happy she was and how she'd met the man of her dreams.

However things clearly weren't as hunky dory as she likes to make out because she finished with him giving him little reason why.

A source close to the mum-of-two revealed: "Patsy didn't see a future in her relationship. They are two very different people.

"She has strong feelings for him but doesn't see him as part of her life anymore. She decided to finish it before it got any more serious, Patsy is a mum of two while Killa is very much a young guy who isn't ready to take on a family like Patsy's."

Kela began beatboxing – the art of vocal percussion – as a teen and has since performed with high profile stars including Pharrell and Justin Timberlake.

This year, he released the single Reveal Your Inner Self, an on attack tabloid journalists.

Nobody else is thought to be involved but Patsy, who has two sons - James, 14, with Kerr and Lennon, seven, with Gallagher - told Killa, who is in his twenties, she needs somebody more her own age who is into the family thing.

A pal explained: "Her sons are everything to Patsy, she's a real family person and she's looking for somebody who can be a father figure in the boys' lives. Killa was just too young and not dependable enough.

"It's difficult for Patsy because she has a wild party streak and likes to enjoy herself, that's why she keeps going for musicians, but she's now realised she's not getting any younger and maybe it's time to settle down properly."

Before hooking up with Killa, Patsy vowed to give up her penchant for toyboys after dating model Matt Holbrook and being linked to Calum Best.

But then she bumped into Killa on the set of an MTV show and there was an instant attraction.

A source said: "They couldn't keep their eyes off each other and the chemistry was electric."

She moved Killa into her Notting Hill home after just one month but it seems the electricity has died down and Patsy is, once again, a single lady on the market. Patsy plays nurse Faye Morton in the BBC drama Holby City.

She previously starred in Emmerdale but left last September, saying the commute to Yorkshire and the resultant time away from her sons was too stressful.
