Vicky Pattison's tears up on The One Show as she admits she was 'terrified' of becoming an alcoholic like her dad

Reality TV veteran of Geordie Shore and I'm a Celebrity, Vicky Pattison, broke down on The One Show as she spoke about being scared of becoming an alcoholic at the age of 35, the same age as her dad was when his problems with drink started.

Appearing on the BBC evening show tonight, Monday, July 18, the Geordie TV star was speaking about a new documentary My Dad, Alcohol & Me - which airs on Channel 4 next month - that gives an insight into her relationship with alcohol and growing up with an alcoholic parent.

Vicky, who is just about to turn 35, revealed that was the age her dad became an alcoholic and has opened up about he fears for her own future after what she described as her own 'turbulent relationship' with alcohol. She explained to hosts Alex Scott and Ronan Keating how she felt and what, in the end, made her different from her dad.
