‘When I discovered alcohol and boys, I was feral’: Vicky Pattison looks back

Born in Newcastle in 1987, Vicky Pattison graduated from Liverpool John Moores University with a degree in drama. At 22, she joined the cast of MTV’s reality TV show Geordie Shore, where she starred from 2011 to 2014. In 2015, she won I’m a Celebrity … Get Me Out of Here! and later became a panellist on Loose Women. She has also made documentaries exploring alcoholism and the impact of deepfake pornography. Her new dating show, The Honesty Box, is on E4 and available to stream on Channel 4. She is married to former Towie cast member Ercan Ramadan.

Dad says they could never get me out of that car. I didn’t even drive it – I just used to sit and watch the telly in it with my babies. I kept my hair white-blond until I was 21, when I decided I wanted to look like Cheryl Cole. I’ve never looked back!
