Vicky Pattison is revealing the secrets to body confidence after her own transformation. The former Geordie Shore star has launched a chic new collection of colourful bikinis and swimming costumes for Little Mistress, designed to make women feel their absolute best. The range is stocked from size 6 to 24, and Pattison expressed her excitement on Instagram, saying she cannot wait to see women enjoying themselves and wearing the collection this summer.
Finding Balance in Life
Pattison looks confident, happy, and relaxed in the range, and a source reveals that her radiant glow is all down to finally finding balance in her life. In the past, she would always fail on diets, feeling she was never doing them right and being too tough on herself. Now she is more easy-going, eating healthily and exercising, and simply feeling good.
As a result, the 38-year-old has let go of her past body hang-ups. The source added that she feels comfortable in herself both inside and out, and that really shows. Previously, when she was not happy in herself, she experienced anxiety about her appearance, but now she is in a positive place and more body confident than ever.
Overcoming Past Struggles
Pattison, who married Ercan Ramadan in Italy in August 2024, has worked hard to find peace with her image. In a 2024 interview, she admitted to having an addictive personality. During her time on Geordie Shore, that centred around drinking and eating too much. When she wanted to leave that image behind, she went completely the other way, becoming far too regimented with exercise and counting every blueberry on her porridge.
Once known for her love of boozing and big nights out, Pattison is now more restrained. The source said she has reined in the late nights, which has made a difference. By resetting her brain and not being overcritical or worrying about being picture-perfect, she is less stressed, which also improves her appearance.
Healthy Habits and Mindset
As well as moderating her alcohol intake, Pattison swapped bad habits for healthier choices across the board. She does Pilates in the morning, then has breakfast. She is sensible, cutting down on carbs and junk food. The source noted a whole new healthy feel to her life.
This is a far cry from 2013, when Pattison shocked fans by dropping from a size 16 to a size 6 in under a year. However, she later wrote on Instagram that she was around 8 stone, exercised twice a day, obsessively calorie counted, deprived herself of things she wanted, and lived a life scared to socialise. Despite the dramatic transformation, she still thought she was fat and was unhappy.
Realising she had become a prisoner in her own body, Pattison said that from an aesthetic point of view she was pleased, but she was not living the life she wanted. She did not get into health and fitness to sit at home worrying about calories and living on kale.
Planning for the Future
Now at a healthy weight, Pattison wants to keep her mind and body in the best possible state to have children with Ercan, whom she started dating in January 2019. As revealed on her recent TV series, Vicky Pattison: Maybe Baby?, the couple dreams of becoming parents. The source explained that trying to get pregnant is part of the reason for her health kick. She would love to start a family and really wants that future with Ercan. Although it can be stressful, they are trying not to put pressure on themselves, focusing on quality time together, living healthily, and trusting it will happen when the time is right.
On the E4 two-parter, Pattison spoke about freezing her eggs at age 35 and expressed fears she may not make a good mother. She even wondered if they should simply remain dog parents to their two Labradors. But during a date night, she told Ercan she wants a family and wants to be a mother.
Support from Her Partner
Ercan’s support is another key factor in Pattison’s new-found contentment. The source said that because she is happier in herself, he feels he is getting Vicky at her best—full of energy, positive, and relaxed. She is glowing and not getting upset or ratty with him. She is in a good place, which naturally strengthens their relationship.
Dealing with Negativity
In the past, Pattison has been targeted by vicious trolls and was even accused of lying about her struggle with premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD), a severe form of PMS. She was also abused over her egg-freezing journey and left social media when it became too much. However, she is now refusing to let any negativity affect her. The source noted that she is not taking the trolling to heart or reading comments. It is hard, but one must have tough skin in this business. Pattison has a heart of gold and wears her heart on her sleeve. She has learned to deal with it while giving herself a bit more self-love.
