Vicky Pattison proudly showed off her curves in a nude bra as she told her followers it’s ok to have just survived the last year.
The candid Geordie went makeup-free in the personal selfie sitting in front of her wardrobe and crossed legs in maroon knickers and a nude bra. Staring pensively into her phone, she captioned the raw photo: “It’s the time of year when social media is awash with people reminiscing about their brilliant year! Personal milestones & professional achievements flood Instagram.
“Dramatic music plays over carefully curated clips of their very best moments & regardless of whether people have raised 10 completely perfect vegan children or developed a wine with zero calories that doesn’t give you a hangover, they all promise that 2024 is going to be EVEN BIGGER.. EVEN BETTER.. Don’t let it get to you.

“It’s ok if all you did this year was survive. It’s ok if you didn’t get engaged or have a baby, if you didn’t get the promotion or manage to quite work out what it is you want to do with your life because there’s always next year. “Life can be hard, & stressful & sometimes just really sad. That is just life.”
The 37-year-old also shared bare faced close ups of herself crying, and of her stomach when she has been suffering with pre menstrual bloating, telling followers she now has a diagnosis for her symptoms called PMDD and that she has been at the ‘lowest’ she has ever been suffering with thoughts of not living. She continued: “This year has been a crazy mix of highs & lows for me & whereas I am so grateful for everything I’ve achieved & learnt- I’d be lying if I said I didn’t struggle at times.
“This year finally brought me my PMDD diagnosis- & whereas I’m so happy that I finally have some answers & can start to navigate my new reality- it took me being the lowest I have ever been to get that. Moments where my brain & my hormones had absolutely convinced me the world would be a better place without me in it. I worked til complete & utter burnout. Til tears just sat behind my eyes permanently & I was on autopilot. Terrified to verbalise how I was feeling as I knew the minute I spoke I’d break & I didn’t have time for that.”
Vicky who shot to fame on Newcastle upon Tyne based reality show Geordie Shore, but now hosts a successful podcast series called Vicky Pattison: The Secret To, ended her personal rant to her 5.5 million Instagram followers on a positive note: “But this year brought me some amazing things too-a new job that I love, my baby max & one step Closer to being Mrs Ramadan Pattison Life has to be light & shade. I’m excited & hopeful for next year.. for all of us.”
The star’s honest post resonated with her followers who rushed to thank her for sharing her concerns. “Happy new year beautiful lady! Thanks so much for this post! Just what I needed to read this morning. X” wrote one follower. Another posted: “Never a true ward said hope u have a beautiful year.”
A third fan put: “I’m currently working towards a PMDD diagnosis. It’s been horrendous at times. x” And a fourth said: “Thank you for sharing I feel you SO much! Hoping to get officially diagnosed as well, you’re not alone. You’re so valuable, and needed here. I don’t know you and I literally just found your page but you’ve added so much value to my life by just being transparent. Bless & Thankyou with All Same Wishes To You X X X”

Premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) is a much more severe form of premenstrual syndrome PMS and is classed as a severe and chronic medical condition that needs attention and treatment. The cause is not known but is suspected to be a reaction to normal hormone changes which take place each menstrual cycle and may cause a deficiency in the substance serotonin that can affect mood and cause physical symptoms.
Symptoms of PMDD which ranges from depressed mood to anger or irritability, trouble concentrating, increased appetite, insomnia or the need for more sleep to belly bloating, breast tenderness, and headache, are said to show up during the week before menstruation and end within a few days after a woman’s period starts.
