Former Geordie Shore star Vicky Pattison has admitted she was worried that she would become an alcoholic after her father suffered from a booze addiction.
The 34-year-old opened up about her binge drinking past ahead of her new Channel 4 documentary, Vicky Pattison: My Dad, Alcohol and Me. She recalled being used “as a human walking stick” by her dad John as his drinking became worse and grew “frightened” at the idea of his alcoholism being passed on to her.
Vicky reflected on her drunken Geordie Shore days in an interview with The Times Magazine, saying that she felt “sick to her stomach” watching old episodes of the Newcastle reality show. Vicky was arrested in 2013 after throwing a shoe in a bar which left two people injured, leading to her being suspended from Geordie Shore.
