Working in Newcastle clubs and then at a call centre, Pattison got her break in 2011 with a role on MTV’s Geordie Shore — the British version of Jersey Shore. Stardom on the series got her modelling contracts on magazines, such as a front cover feature on Loaded and an appearance with her Geordie Shore co-star Holly Hagan in Nuts that year.

Starring until 2014, she quit Geordie Shore in the ninth series’ final episode following which Pattison modeled regularly for Daily Star and The Sun, as well as other magazines and tabloids.

Pattison began starring on Ex on the Beach, another reality programme by MTV, from April 2014 onwards. That August she published her autobiography called Nothing But The Truth.

She has also been spotted on other shows such as Celebrity Juice, Big Brother’s Bit On The Side, Celebrity Dinner Date, This Morning, TV’s 50 Greatest Magic Tricks and Most Shocking Celebrity Moments 2011.

At the beginning of 2015, Pattison introduced Mini V Nutrition, her own series of diet supplements and also launched VIP for Honeyz, her own fashion collection. By mid-2015, Pattison began hosting as well as starring in Judge Geordie, her own show on MTV, while contributing her thoughts in a column for the weekly magazine new!.

Pattison wrote two novels — All That Glitters and A Christmas Kiss — published in July and October 2015.

Pattison entered the 15th series of ITV’s I‘m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here!, as a late participant — on the third day — along with Spencer Matthews and Ferne McCann. After 19 days, she won the reality show on December 6, 2015, becoming the fifth female contestant to do so.

Reported to have a net worth of around £500,000, Pattison lives in a flat in Wallsend, Tyne and Wear.
