Vicky Pattison's Channel 4 documentary praised as star left 'crying in toilets' before it airs

Vicky Pattison was left 'crying in the toilets' hours before her alcoholism documentary for Channel 4 received widespread praise from viewers.

It was confirmed last month that former Geordie Shore star and I'm A Celebrity winner Vicky would be fronting a show called My Dad, Alcohol and Me, in which she would document her father John's battle with drink and address her own fears that she would follow him down the same path, recalling how alcohol had already impacted stages of her career to date.

Vicky hit the promotional trial in the run up to the documentary going out on Tuesday night, appearing on shows like The One Show and This Morning, as well as in a number of magazines and newspapers. And the Wallsend star, who has often been praised for her open and honest social media poets, took to Instagram to reveal she'd been left in tears backstage at the BBC, admitting it had been on the cards all day.
