Vicky Pattison, the star of Geordie Shore, has admitted that it was her life’s worst experience, describing it as the “worst experience.”
Vicky Pattison, the Geordie Shore star, has candidly described her experience on the Strictly Come Dancing launch show as the “worst experience” of her life, making her “cripplingly aware of how s***e you are.” During an episode of the Get A Grip podcast with ex-Strictly star Angela Scanlon, Vicky didn’t hold back, sharing her brutally honest thoughts about filming the BBC show, humorously confessing that she felt like a “sausage in a skin.”
The reality TV star is set to join a star-studded line-up for the new series, including Dani Dyer, football legend Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink, Good Morning Britain’s Ross King, and Neighbours actor Stefan Dennis.
However, Vicky has previously opened up about experiencing a “mini-breakdown” following a family holiday and dealing with an “unrelenting” schedule as she prepares for her stint on the demanding dance show.
With the launch scheduled to air on Saturday, September 20, at 6.40pm on BBC One and iPlayer, things are well underway, despite Vicky’s claim that the launch was the “worst experience.”
She continued, “We have recorded the launch show. No, it was my life’s worst experience.
Angela then explained that she’d sent her co-star a voice memo in an effort to set her “nerves at ease,” but she claimed Vicky didn’t read it and later admitted that she really should have listened to it.
Vicky confessed: “No, it was just because I was getting so overwhelmed in my own head. So, just for a bit of context, the launch show is everybody all together, all singing, all dancing, for anyone who doesn’t know. It’s the welcome to the series. It’s big guns.”
She noted that everyone was “at different levels,” which she said was accurate annually, and that some people were “quite good” and “better” than others.
Vicky continued: “And being around dancers of different abilities, it does just make you like cripplingly aware of how s***e you are if ya s***e, and I am s***e. And then, of course, the pros, who are all carved by angels – I’m so sorry, where do the women put their organs? They’re tiny.”
She claimed that they had to put a “special girdle” in hers, which she described as similar to a corset, and that she felt like a “sausage in a skin” in her outfit.
Angela then assured her friend that everyone should have one of these.
Vicky later revealed that Ross King, a fellow Strictly contestant, held her hand as he was aware of her nervousness while demonstrating what she called the “family.”
She also confessed that Dani Dyer, star of Love Island and daughter of Human Traffic star Danny Dyer, never left her side during the filming.
