Vicky Pattison: former Geordie Shore star stuns in bikini during lavish Dubai getaway

Vicky Pattison looked sensational as she posed for snaps during a holiday to Dubai.

The former Geordie Shore star, 35, took to Instagram on Monday to share pictures from the lavish getaway with her 5.3M followers.

In one picture taken at a beach club, the reality star showed off her incredible figure in a black strapless bikini and beige crochet top with a matching maxi skirt. Vicky styled her shiny brunette locks in a messy updo for the picture at the beach club.

Later, the stunning brunette uploaded a selfie while enjoying cocktails with friends and added black sunglasses to her look.

The reality star also dined at the multi award-winning pan-Asian restaurant and lounge Karma Kafe, which is said to have the best views of the Burj Khalifa & Dubai Fountains.

Vicky was all smiles as she posed in front of a platter of sushi with a cocktail in hand at the luxury dining spot. She captioned her post: “Let’s Maki this a special moment...

“There was just no way I was missing my best friends hen... @kailzthompo I’m so happy for you, mate - no one deserves this happily ever after more than you, and I’m buzzing to be able to give you the best send off into married life EVER!!!

“@karmakafedubai Thank you for the most AMAZING first night... I am full of fish and giddy as a kipper!! Oh, and Thankyou to my beautiful @thehairandmakeupfactory for tonight’s glam... @makeupby_sjf and @gracec.hairsalon I’m obsessed!!!”

She is currently in the United Arab Emirates to celebrate her best friend’s hen do. Ahead of the trip, she admitted feeling insecure about her figure.

Vicky posted three side-by-side pictures in her underwear to Instagram and opened up about the changes to her body after undergoing fertility procedures.

She penned: “The human body is pretty amazing... isn’t it?? Over the last two weeks, my little body has been pumped full of hormones and manipulated into creating 10 eggs, 9 of which were mature and ready for the next stages! It has literally created life- Potentially 9 times over!

“It has done far more than I ever expected it to in such a small space of time- it’s incredible really. And you know the craziest thing?? Is that even after all I’ve put it through, all it’s done for me... I’m mad at it.”

Speaking about her insecurities, Vicky continued: “I should be celebrating everything that my body has given me, and instead, I am worrying about what I’m going to look like in a bikini in Dubai next week. And please don’t think how vapid and superficial that is, is wasted on me. This thought process is not one I’m proud of, but it is super hard to escape a lifetime of being conditioned into believing you are only attractive if you’re a specific size or shape.

“I know I’m a huge advocate for loving the skin you’re in... even if it’s not your usual skin. So this may seem a little bit hypocritical. But with the recent changes to my body being so sudden, I haven’t even had a chance to get my head around them just yet. But I promise I will.

“My giant sore and swollen boobs, my bloated little tummy and my saggy little boy butt are testament to what my little body has given me - which is a chance at future happiness, and I need to be beyond grateful to it. Not speaking negatively about it and wishing it was something else. But sometimes those intrusive little thoughts sneak in, don’t they?”

She finished by saying: “But you know, once I get out of my head and into the moment in Dubai, I reckon that I’ll stop worrying that my bod isn’t itty bitty or perfectly sculpted and just have fun with my mates! Because they don’t care that I’m not a size six or have perky little boobs- they love me for me, and I should really start doing the same.

“So I suppose that this is just a friendly reminder to myself and anyone else that needs to hear it- bodies change. Our bodies are constantly changing, and whether they’re bigger or smaller, squishy or skinny, they are all deserving of love and celebration. And some cocktails in the sun once in a while.”

Vicky began the process of freezing her eggs last year as she prepares for her future with fiancé Ercan Ramadan.
