You may know Vicky Pattison from her time on the reality show Geordie Shore, where her extreme party-girl lifestyle in Newcastle was lived out in front of the cameras.

In a new Channel 4 documentary, ‘Vicky Pattison: My Dad, Alcohol and Me’, she’s been taking a look back at her past. The programme centres around her father’s struggle with alcoholism and how this has contributed, in part, towards her own unhealthy relationship with drinking.

Vicky joined Nuala McGovern on ´óÏó´«Ã½ Radio 4’s Woman’s Hour to discuss how her father’s relationship with drinking impacted her own relationship with alcohol, and what she’s learnt in the process of filming this documentary. ‘Vicky Pattison: My Dad, Alcohol and Me’ will air on Channel 4 on Tuesday 2 August at 10pm.
