Vicky Pattison has been hailed as an "inspiration" after taking on an important new role that will help raise awareness and "break down stigma" on an issue close to her heart.
Vicky is now the patron for the National Association for Children of Alcoholics (Nacoa), a charity which provides information and support for those who are affected by their parent's drinking. The role will see the former Geordie Shore star speak in Parliament on the subject - a daunting prospect which Vicky said had left her "shaking already".
Appearing on ITV's Good Morning Britain, Vicky admitted to hosts Susanna Reid and Ed Balls: "I'm a bag of nerves, to be totally honest. I didn’t think when I started Geordie Shore all them years ago that this is exactly where it would take us."
