Vicky Pattison wants to quit reality TV


Vicky Pattison wants to quit reality TV for good.

The former ‘Geordie Shore’ star – who turned her back on the MTV show in 2014 – is keen to shy away from her past projects and, instead, carve out a career in presenting.

Opening up to her fellow campmates on ‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!,’ she said: "When there is too many things going on in my life I get stressed and lose my temper and I have the potential to have a horrible temper, horrible.

"I have to work every day to not lose it, I hate that aspect of self, I hate that side of my personality.

"I’d like to stop doing reality TV. It’s not that I’m not grateful for the platform it’s given me but I’d like people to know less about me and I’d like to be a TV presenter."

And one person who is no doubt pleased by Vicky’s decision to turn away from reality TV is her mother Caroll as she believes ‘Geordie Shore’ portrayed her in a bad light.

Caroll said of her daughter recently: "I’ve always been proud of what she has achieved as she’s my baby but some of her shows like ‘Geordie Shore’ have been very hard to watch and discuss with the family as the show required her to drink lots and be argumentative. It wasn’t the real Vicky in ‘Geordie Shore’, it was sometimes uncomfortable viewing."

But for now, despite Vicky’s plans, the brunette beauty – who is favourite to win ‘I’m A Celeb’ – is battling to be crowed Queen of the Jungle when the show wraps up next week.
