‘No one’s life is perfect’: Vicky Pattison says as she goes makeup-free for an unfiltered Instagram post

Vicky Pattison has shared a series of makeup-free and unfiltered photos with her fans to encourage others to be comfortable in their own skin. The former Geordie Shore star, 35, from Newcastle, told fans not to let social media define how they see themselves in an inspirational post.

Vicky took to Instagram on Thursday and embraced her natural look in selfies without makeup and unstyled hair. She also sat cross-legged in her underwear and revealed her body. She captioned the post: “My timeline was starting to look a little bit too polished... So here’s some reality for you.

Vicky continued: “And also, just a little reminder- that regardless of what Instagram is telling you - no one looks good all the time. Everyone’s body folds, jiggles and moves, no one’s life is perfect, we all have good days and bad days and everyone... and I mean absolutely EVERYONE hates it when their front-facing camera opens by accident and humbles you. Don’t let these little squares control how you feel about yourself... You’re pretty bloody brilliant.”

Vicky’s post was flooded with comments from fans who praised her for keeping things real. Gogglebox star Lisa Baggs said: “You’re so funny, Vicky! Love the fact you’re so honest and don’t give a s**t.” One fan said: “You’re still so pretty even on these pics ❤️ love how real you are x.” Another wrote: “I absolutely think you are the best celebrity out there for keeping it real. Beautiful. With or without. I always see you and think AMAZING! X.” Someone else said: “Absolutely love this … how honest and real x.”

The former Geordie Shore star has teamed up with body and mind trainer Iain Reitz and bestselling author Anna Mathur to host a wellness retreat at Croftview in Somerset in July. Vicky’s retreat will run from Monday, 17 July to 21 July, and will include tips on building your self-confidence, lessons on mindfulness, physical and mental well-being coaching, food prepared by a private chef as well as training sessions with Ercan and Iain.
