Vicky Pattison is leaving 'Geordie Shore'.
The brunette beauty has decided to quit the wild MTV reality show set in Newcastle upon Tyne that made her famous because she is too mature for it now and series nine will be her last.
Speaking about her departure, Vicky said: "The rumours are true, it's the right time for me to leave 'Geordie Shore', the show hasn't grown up and I have. I know a lot of the people in the house are going to be quite content to sort of be 40 years old and still downing jagerbombs and bucking birds, but for me that was just never an option."
Vicky - an original 'Geordie Shore' castmate - also revealed her best moments being on the show have been meeting Daniel 'Fit Dan' Conn in Australia and visiting several penis museums around the world when they travelled abroad for specials.
Her worst moment she admits was her break-up from her co-star, ex-fiancée Ricci Guarnaccio.
Vicky's final series begins tonight (28.10.14) at 10pm on MTV UK and sees her made the Queen of the 'Geordie Shore' house and put in charge of her other housemates.
Although Vicky is leaving, MTV has announced 'Geordie Shore' will return for a 10th season showing the outrageous antics of cast members Charlotte Crosby, Holly Hagan, Marnie Simpson, Scott 'Scotty T' Timlin, James Tindale, Gary 'Gaz' Beadle, Aaron Chalmers and Kyle Christie.

Joey Essex claims a ghost once talked to him.
The former 'The Only Way is Essex' star appears in 'Educating Joey Essex: Reem Halloween' to mark the spooky holiday this Friday (31.10.14) and claims that while he didn't encounter any supernatural forces when filming the special episode for definite, he was once approached by a ghost in his house who tried to communicate with him.
Talking on ITV's 'This Morning', he revealed: "I thought I saw one [during filming] ... but I feel like I've seen a ghost before anyway. I saw one in my house once I think - it was just sitting next to me, trying to talk to me about life!"
He added: "I went to this massive castle place (in the series) ... and apparently it was well haunted and there were ghosts running about all the time, but it's hard to believe, but after watching 'Reem Halloween' I think people will more believe in it. It'll make people believe in spirits more definitely."
The haunted 24-year-old television personality went on to talk about a concoction which was brewed for him by a witch while making the programme, which he hopes will improve his romantic prospects following his split from on/off girlfriend Sam Faiers.
He explained: "She said to me the potion was to make me more cleverer and luckier in life, so I had to cut a bit of my hair off and put it in a potion.
"I don't like people messing with my hair but I just thought I had to get on with it so I done it. (sic)"
'Educating Joey Essex: Reem Halloween' airs on Friday on ITV2 at 9pm.

Gloria Hunniford would "love" to have a facelift.
The 74-year-old star made the admission she'd like to go under the knife to look younger while discussing plastic surgery with her fellow 'Loose Women' panellists - Kay Adams, Sherrie Hewson and Jane Moore.
What is stopping Gloria from going ahead is that she cannot morally justify having a cosmetic procedure after watching her late daughter Caron Keating fight and ultimately lose her battle with breast cancer, a real reason to go to hospital.
Speaking on the live episode that aired on ITV today (27.10.14), she said: "Having watched my daughter Karen with real medicine for several years and real hospitals for a real reason, I can't get myself around doing something purely for cosmetic reasons. So it's a bit of a head job I'd have to do on myself but I'd love it, I would."
Gloria also revealed she is delighted that L'Oreal has made Dame Helen Mirren the face of their new advertising campaign at the age of 69, because she gets "irritated" by beauty ads featuring young women marketing products they don't need.
Gloria said: "I get so irritated by ads for cosmetics being 18 or 19 year olds, beautifully airbrushed, perfect. I think it's wonderful that we have Helen, that we have Jane Fonda, we've had Diane Keaton doing some cosmetics, I think it's good. Older women to reign!"

Jake Quickenden feels "let down" after not being given the opportunity to play the guitar on 'X Factor'.
The 26-year-old was booted off the ITV singing contest on Sunday (26.10.14) after finding himself in the bottom two with quartet Only the Young, and is saddened by the decision to send him home as he thought he performed well.
Speaking on 'This Morning', he said: "I maybe didn't perform to my best on Saturday, and that's why I'm sat here. But I didn't think it was as bad as the judges made out.
"There were a few bad notes but when you're on the stage in front of 10 million people and you [feel like] you've got a gobstopper at the back of your throat, it's hard to sing to your best. It really is. It's so nerve-racking."
The pop hopeful - who performed a rendition of Daniel Merriweather's 'Red' in Sunday's sing-off - also lamented his exit from the show because he had not been given the chance to play his guitar on stage.
He continued: "I'm a bit let down I didn't get to show myself at my full ability. With a guitar."
Despite having only just left the talent show, the hunk is already thinking about the next steps in his career and is more determined than ever to succeed.
He added: "I'm not the kind of person to give up, so I'm going to keep slogging at it, and if you want something hard enough and as much as I do then I'll keep working and hopefully it'll come.
"I'm willing to get my fingers in anything and hopefully I will and the future might be bright."
Next weekend's Halloween 'X Factor: Fright Night' will see the remaining contestants battle it out once more, with performances from judge Cheryl Cole and 35-year-old singer/songwriter John Legend on the results show on Sunday evening (02.11.14).

The contestants on the new series of 'I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!' will have to eat pig's head as part of a Bushtucker Trial.
Show bosses are upping the ante for the eating trial this year and as well as kangaroo penis, turkey testicles, fish eyes and live witchetty grubs the menu will include the sick-inducing swine snack.
Pig's head has already been tried out on the German version of the reality series, and contestant Jochen Bendel insists the dish didn't taste as bad as it looks.
He said: "It's tough and flabby but tastes like pork."
Ostrich anus and goat testicles are also set to be served to the stars who get voted to compete in the Bushtucker Trial to win food for their camps.
As well as making that trial more disgusting, bosses are reportedly planning to ration the meals for camp and make the general experience in the Australian jungle even more tough.
A source told the Daily Star newspaper: "We're cranking it up a notch. On top of the usual Bushtucker Trials, they will also have to face a lack of food, unpredictable weather and endless hours of pure boredom."
Among the celebrities rumoured to be taking part in this year's show - hosted by Ant and Dec - are presenter Melanie Sykes, TV chef Rustie Lee and 'The Only Way Is Essex' star Gemma Collins.

Sue Johnston is jealous of the costumes which her fellow 'Downton Abbey' stars get to wear.
The former 'Coronation Street' star plays Gladys Denker, a maid for the Crawley family in the ITV period drama, and has confessed that while she enjoyed playing the part, she would love to have tried on the fancy frocks which the privileged family members got to wear.
She told The Sun newspaper: "I did look enviously at the beautiful clothes they had on. I don't mind whether I am 'upstairs' or 'downstairs'. The only difference is you'd have had nicer frocks if you were upstairs."
The 70-year-old actress made her debut on the popular programme on Sunday evening (26.10.14) but despite enjoying an incredible acting career she admits she frets about the roles available to her now she is an older star.
The 'Royle Family' star added: "As you get older, I think the parts you're offered are more interesting, actually - but there are so few, and so many of us. So it always remains tricky."
However, the BAFTA-nominated thespian revealed that she is satisfied with her career progression because she has been able to play a range of characters.
She added: "I feel lucky I haven't been pigeon-holed. And often people don't want to be.
"I feel privileged to have played different things - because it's less boring that way."

The X Factor's' Chloe Jasmine Whichello has dumped Stevi Ritchie following their fling.
The two wannabe pop stars - who met on the show - were revealed to have spent the night together last week, but axed contestant Chloe Jasmine has reportedly grown tired of Stevi's constant stream of sexy snaps and sexual messages to him, and no longer wants anything to do with him.
A friend of Chloe told The Sun newspaper: "Some of the stuff that he is sending is apparently absolutely filthy. But it isn't having the desired effect on Chloe and she's getting sick of him.
"As far as she is concerned it was never a serious romance now she just wants him to stop sexting her, but he's not getting the message."
It was revealed last week that the pair had hooked up following the live show on the Saturday night (18.10.14), despite the fact Chloe has a long-term boyfriend.
However, it seems the blonde-haired model-and-singer quickly grew tired of the 34-year-old crooner, giving him the silent treatment last Saturday night (25.10.14), even though they had agreed to meet up.
The source remarked: "It was a big disappointment for Stevi. Her enthusiasm seems to have seriously waned."

Kate Ford was caught up in a bitter row between her friend, his ex-partner and his current girlfriend last Friday (24.10.14).
The 'Coronation Street' actress got embroiled in the argument which started after her friend Paul came to her house to collect his six-year-old son after a play date with the star's own boy and stayed for a drink.
His decision to stay resulted in his girlfriend coming to Kate's house 30 minutes later to demand to know what he was doing and why he was late, sparking an argument between the couple which ended up in the street, resulting in the police being called.
Kate - who plays bitchy Weatherfield character Tracy Barlow - was distraught by the entire episode, and eventually lost her temper with the girlfriend telling her to "get out of my house you bitch".
She told The Sun newspaper: "There was a domestic at my house but it was nothing to do with me. Paul was picking up his boy and had been at my home half an hour when this woman turned up and refused to leave. She came into my house because he was not home on time and started this blazing row.
"His timetable is nothing to do with me. If he was supposed to be home an hour earlier and he was late, why is that my problem? Their relationship problems are their problems."
The row further escalated when Paul's ex-partner turned up at the property in South London demanding she be allowed to take their son home with her as she was concerned the other adults had been drinking.
Paul was then arrested on suspicion of assaulting his current girlfriend. Police have confirmed a 48 year old man was taken into custody and has now been bailed.
Kate is adamant she was not drunk and is dismayed to have been dragged into other people's domestic issues.
She said: "I'm a good mother and a good person. We'd had three glasses of wine. I'm a very quiet person and don't get involved in scandal."

Mel B has admitted Jake Quickenden "reached his peak" on 'The X Factor'.
The former Spice Girls singer was devastated when her first act was eliminated from the show last night (26.10.14) and though she thinks he has gone at the right time, she expects he will have a bright future.
She said: "Jake reached his peak and that's just the way it is...Jake is Jake, he is only going to go onwards and upwards."
Mel admits she is incredibly "attached" to all the contestants, especially those in her Boys category, because they are "like family" to her.
Explaining why she got so upset during the show, she said on 'The Xtra Factor': "You get so attached. My boys especially.
"They have my home phone number, my mobile number - they are like my kids, like my family!
"I know it's a competition and someone has to go every week, but it still goes urgh in your heart."
Meanwhile, Jake has admitted he doesn't think he performed as well as he could have done on the show.
He said: "I don't think I've done myself justice on any of the live shows, I can be a lot better than that, and I'll prove that, but I want to get my fingers in all kinds of pies now, work-wise...
"I've done an amazing thing and I've been on such a class journey and I've literally made friends for life."
