Since being catapulted into the limelight back in 2011, Vicky Pattison has had a complicated relationship with her body.

Having been both a size 16 and a size 6, Vicky – by her own admission – has tried a lot in a bid to feel happy in her skin.

‘I’ve done the skinny teas, shakes and juices. I’ve done it all,’ she says.

Now, aged 32 and in an entirely new chapter of her life, Vicky is looking for a different type of weight-loss journey: one that’s for life.

‘I think it’s taken me getting to this age and to find WW [formerly Weight Watchers] to work out something that’s less of a diet and more of a lifestyle,’ she admits. ‘I love to exercise and training and I’ll definitely be incorporating lifting weights, functional training and yoga into my WW journey.’

Once, queen of the, I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! jungle, Vicky is WW’s newest brand ambassador and feels ‘honored’ to be working with such a distinguished brand. ‘I’m going to be hanging out with [fellow WW ambassadors] Robbie Williams and AlisonHammond and that’s the main thing,’ she jokes.
