Vicky Pattison, the Geordie reality star turned TV and radio host, has shared a heartfelt insight into her relationship with her father in an exclusive chat with OK!

Raised in Newcastle by her mother Caroll, the 37 year old spoke openly about her dad, who battles with alcoholism, stating "he is not a well man - but he's a great man and a great dad." The ex-Geordie Shore star, whose father John was the focus of her poignant Channel 4 documentary 'Alcohol, dad And Me' in 2022, disclosed that both her parents have taught her valuable life lessons.

She admitted that her father has shown her that displaying vulnerability isn't a sign of weakness, and they would often share emotional moments watching films together. "He's 6ft 2, a solid Geordie man, who used to do more one-handed press-ups in bars than Rocky.

He'd cry with me watching a Disney film. He'll discuss his illness openly, hoping it helps others. I realised gender roles could be reversed and it's shaped me into the woman I am.
