Vicky Pattison, a reality star, has revealed how she came to be a member of Strictly Come Dancing after manifesting for years.
Strictly Come Dancing star Vicky Pattison has been secretly plotting her stint on the show with a “vision board” for years. Now she believes that her dream has come true after manifesting her appearance on the new series of the BBC dancing show.
Vicky, 37, said, “I would advise anyone who has goals and is attempting to proactively obtain what they want, or even figure out what it is they want to do, to create a vision board.” I swear by them. Two are in my office, two enormous ones, one for my personal life and one for my work.
“I’m not scared to tell you what’s on them. My professional one is filled with images of me on Strictly Come Dancing and the BBC logo. And it’s got a picture of Stacey Dooley, because I want to film hard-hitting documentaries and talk about issues that I’m passionate about, like women’s reproductive health, women’s safety, and so many other issues that affect us.”
Vicky said she has struggled with her identity after finding fame on MTV’s Geordie Shore and is desperate to be taken more seriously. She explained: “For years I’ve been Vicky from reality TV – whether it was Ex on the Beach or Celebrity Coach Trip, everyone knows me from that realm.
However, Vicky the TV presenter is what I want to be. Respected author, Nicky The Valued Broadcaster, Nicky In the end, I want people to care more about the details of my life than the quality of my work. It’s a difficult decision because people who come from reality television are generally perceived as talentless and lack what to offer.
“We’re superficial, vapid, and unintelligent, and all we’re good at is flogging outfits and whitening products,” we said. Those consequences are unpopular with me. Although I don’t agree with those assertions, I have followed me all my life.
It’s not the first time Vicky has been successful with her vision board – she also had a picture of Heart radio studios on it before landing a presenter gig. But while Strictly was another ambition, she confessed in her book The Secret to Happy that she has no ballroom skills.
Vicky acknowledged that, “For many years, I truly believed that the reason I kept going where I was for so long was because people liked me, and it is! I lack talent. I’m unable to kick a football, perform a song, or dance great. I’m completely rubbish at everything. My income is determined by my likeability.
Vicky was announced as a Strictly Come Dancing contestant on This Morning two weeks ago and has now begun training. She is TV presenter, author, podcast and radio host who won the nation’s heart after being crowned Queen of the Jungle on I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! in 2015.
Since then, she’s remained a firm fixture on British screens, with presenting roles across MTV, ITV, Channel 5, Channel 4 and TLC. er critically acclaimed Channel 4 documentary Vicky Pattison: Alcohol, Dad and Me cemented her as a compelling and authentic voice in the conversation around alcohol addiction and mental health.
Vicky has also been a Celebrity MasterChef finalist, appeared on Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins , and featured in BBC’s Sport Relief: All Star Games and was seen raising money in BBC’s Arctic Challenge for Comic Relief last year.
Vicky Pattison stated on Strictly Come Dancing that she was “absolutely buzzing to be a part of this year’s Strictly Come Dancing lineup,” “I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t terrified.” I don’t have a natural dancer! I just really hope I don’t make a fool of myself because it’s such an amazing opportunity for me to step outside of my comfort zone and take new challenges.
Other celebrities in this year’s line up include Harry Aikines-Aryeetey – also known as Nitro from BBC’s Gladiators – Love Island star Dani Dyer, 29, retired footballer Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink, 53, and Doctor Who actress Alex Kingston, 62.
