Vicky Pattison opens up to Now about she got prepared being body confident in the jungle, and her plans to woo George Shelley...
The ballsy Geordie Shore star making up 1/12 of the current I’m a Celeb line up, has certainly made her mark since her late arrival. With revelations such as fancying Duncan Bannatyne and showing off her hot bod in THAT shower, Vicky Pattison oozes confidence. But is she as confident off screen, and how did she prepare for stripping off in the jungle? We grilled her to find out…
How body confident are you?
Not very body confident at all. I know everyone thinks I’m going to be swanning about in my bikini but I’m quite shy. It’s going take a bit of getting used to. I hate being papped around the pool when you don’t know about it – and this is that times a million. There’s no make-up, no straighteners, everything is stripped back – but I reckon I’ll get used to it.
What’s your favourite body part?
My boobs because I paid for them. They cost me five grand, man. They wanna be worth it!
What’s the worst part of your body?
My thighs. I’ve got Zena Warrior Princess thighs.
I’M A CELEB JUNGLE SHOWER – 6 OF THE BEST SCENES
How much bikini prep did you do for the jungle?
When I found out I was going in, I was like, “Right, I’m getting down the gym and having sun beds and facials.” And of course, it never works out like that. I ended up having to do a book tour and I went to the EMAs in Milan, which was just a weekend full of pizza, pasta and gin. I ended up having four days off before I came away, so I got four personal trainer sessions in and a couple of facials, and I got waxed. My plan to be this ultimate Bear Grylls slash Myleene Klass has fallen flat. I’m hoping the jungle diet takes hold quickly and I can dive in that shower and show everyone what I am made of.
Do you think you will keep your fitness levels up in the jungle?
I want to shadow box with Chris Eubank. The minute I found out he was going in, I wanted to have a bit of a spa with him. I would love to come out skinny just before Christmas so I can eat loads and drink Baileys. I will be doing my bit, but I think you do enough with all the challenges and surviving on rice and beans.
Tell us about your jungle bikinis…
We’re only allowed to take three bikinis into the jungle. I thought I would give people what they want, so one of them has got leaves on. Also I thought it would be good to have a camouflaged bikini, so that I can sneak up on George Shelley when he’s in the shower!
Are you worried about the cameras catching you naked?
I am a bit of a prude, so I’m worried about the cameras. But I will never allow myself to be naked in the jungle. I’m quite boring in that respect. But I also feel as though I will probably forget the cameras are on and you might get some side boob action, but that is all you are getting.
