Early life
[edit]Before Geordie Shore, Pattison enjoyed drama in school. She had various jobs, including working on the door of some of Newcastle's nightclubs and in telesales.[2] She has a degree in drama from Liverpool John Moores University.[3]
Media career
[edit]Geordie Shore
[edit]Pattison appeared in the MTV show Geordie Shore from 2011 to 2014 in the first series of the show. She had a short relationship with the fellow co-star Jay Gardner.[4] After her appearance on the show, she was featured on the front cover of Loaded magazine in October 2011 with The Only Way Is Essex star Jess Wright and the Made in Chelsea star Binky Felstead. She also appeared in Nuts magazine with another Geordie Shore star, Holly Hagan. In the second series of the show, Pattison began a turbulent on/off relationship with a new cast member, Ricci Guarnaccio.[5] She and a former cast member, Rebecca Walker, were shown not to get on with each other, leading to constant conflict in the Geordie Shore house.[6] Her catchphrase "tash on" became a new entry in the online Collins Dictionary.[7] Her peculiar speech style became the object of much public attention: the use of words like "ostentatious" and "euphoric" "in a Geordie Shore context of expletives" was described "as a 'stretch', a way of testing expressive limits, that is a form of catachresis".[8] Pattison was in Cancun, Mexico, during the third series where, during filming, Guarnaccio proposed to her.
In the fifth series, Pattison calls off her engagement with Guarnaccio and ultimately ends the relationship. Guarnaccio later decided to leave the show following the break-up.[9] In December 2013, she released her own fitness DVD entitled Vicky's 7 Day Slim. Before the beginning of the ninth series, she announced that it would be her last, making her final appearance during the series' finale.
Legal issues
[edit]In July 2013, during filming for the seventh series of Geordie Shore, Pattison was arrested after throwing a high-heeled shoe at another club goer whom she incorrectly believed had thrown ice at her, and injuring a member of the venue's security staff who had intervened. She later pleaded guilty to two counts of assault and was sentenced to 180 hours of unpaid community service and ordered to pay compensation to the two victims.[10]
Personal life
[edit]Since 2019, Pattison has been in a relationship with Ercan Ramadan. In February 2022, the couple announced their engagement. They got married in August/September 2024.
