Geordie Shore's Vicky Pattison hits back at bodyshaming trolls

The reality star was praised by fans for spreading body positive message.

It's fair to say that reality star Vicky Pattison has been having a rough time of late.

Just last month the 31 year old checked into a retreat following her split with fiance John Noble, after videos emerged of him 'getting cosy' with another woman on a lads' holiday in Dubai.

I’m completely done both physically and mentally. I’ve put my all into keeping going these last few weeks and now I need to accept that I need to go somewhere that is good for my soul and rest. As they say at @juicemasterretreats ‘Sometimes the only way to move forward is to retreat.’ So off I go for some down time and self care. Sending you all loads of love and thanks for all your continued kindness ?

Following a break, the Queen of the Jungle shared a sexy, empowering snap on her social media that quickly attracted the wrath of body shaming trolls.

Yesterday she was forced to return to Instagram to defend herself following the negative comments.

Okkkkk... so it’s frustrating to me that I have to post this, especially in the festive period when there’s meant to be so much joy being spread etc but apparently it hasn’t stretched to Instagram so here goes... ?? In my last post I posed in a robe with some POWERFUL cleavage on display and this for some reason attracted a significant about of criticism from women predominantly. So I thought I’d pop this other pic up- now this is not to appease these moaning myrtles- far from it.. in fact, I’m putting you on blast! As a woman, I’m proud of my body, but also of my mind, my personality, my work ethic, my friends, my family, my realness and my strength and sense of humour which has got me through some dark times recently- which is my I like to think my Instagram account shows a fair and even representation of all these things! Yes, there may be a glam pouty selfie, similarly in the next post I may be laughing with friends, the next could be me in a bikini and finally I might be inhaling a bowl of pasta, makeup free and giving zero fucks. I show myself eating, drinking, exercising, laughing, loving and yes I even show my pain. Because I’m a human being with many different sides and I’m allowed to express myself however I want. My page shows depth and range and honesty- and heaven forbid some cleavage at times! Don’t tell me what to put on my Instagram, don’t tell me what I should and shouldn’t do: it’s 2019, let’s be abit more accepting of each other and how we express our truths. And most of all, let’s not tear down other women. It’s about time we started respecting our fellow female- because this ‘tearing another girl down to make yourself feel better’ or ‘having no girlcode’ thing ain’t cute. And personally I would never want to be the reason another woman doubted herself. Rant over. I’m going back to my pasta. I hope you all have a good night. (Yes even those who criticised me, I’m showing you love as I reckon you probably need it the most.) ? ps this is the first time I’ve cooked in months- cooking for one scared me. But I did it. So fucking hell yeah basically ??✌?

She hit back at trolls saying; 

“In my last post I posed in a robe with some POWERFUL cleavage on display and this for some reason attracted a significant about of criticism from women predominantly.”

“Yes, there may be a glam pouty selfie, similarly in the next post I [...] might be inhaling a bowl of pasta, makeup free.”

“Don’t tell me what to put on my Instagram, don’t tell me what I should and shouldn’t do: it’s 2019, let’s be a bit more accepting of each other and how we express our truths. And most of all, let’s not tear down other women. It’s about time we started respecting our fellow female- because this ‘tearing another girl down to make yourself feel better’ or ‘having no girlcode’ thing ain’t cute.”

Fans were quick to praise the Geordie for promoting body positivity and speaking out against body-shaming.
