The reality TV star, 36, starred on the MTV series from 2011 until 2014, known for its heavy binge drinking, dramatic clashes and wild nights out. Speaking about her time on the show on Matt Willis’ podcast, On The Mend, Vicky said it had been a painful period of her life and that she had 'lost herself' in trying to play up to her party girl persona.

She said: 'For me there's a lot of pain wrapped up in my time I spent there, a lot of misguided anger, a lot of moments that I totally lost myself and became what I thought those producers, and people at MTV and everybody wanted us to be. So it wasn't like a lovely time in my life, I think it’s fair to say.' She went on to say that the show made her worst qualities come out and she went on to escalate those behaviours as an 'armour'.
