As summer approaches, Vicky predicted that the travel industry would pick up again following the lifting of Covid restrictions as she promoted her new business venture, saying: ‘The travel industry is about to go BOOM.’

The reality-star-turned-influencer appeared on Geordie Shore from 2011 until 2014, and recently admitted that she would never make a return to the show.

In an appearance on Steph’s Packed Lunch on Monday, Vicky said she considers it a chapter in her life that is ‘closed’ as the ‘beer fear’ was ‘torture’.

She said: ‘I’m pretty sure there’s some sort of massive great big reunion in the pipeline. I consider it a chapter of me life… 

‘I was super grateful to have, don’t get me wrong, the platform I’ve got now I completely know I wouldn’t have if it wasn’t for that, but it’s also a chapter that is closed.’

Vicky added: ‘I’m 33, I’m 34 this year… If I have a couple of glasses of wine, I struggle for about a week. I couldn’t have four/five nights on the lash and get up bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, I couldn’t do it. I’m not in my 20s!’

The TV star also admitted that her mother was ‘fuming’ about her time on Geordie Shore.

She said: ‘Me mam was absolutely fuming, I don’t think we spoke for about four years… I’m exaggerating… it was difficult though. 

‘Beer fear is bad enough but then imagine having the realisation when you wake up and think, “Oh my God, what did I do, who did I kiss, who did I shout at…?”‘ 

Reflecting on the time, Vicky added: ‘It was torture, I just couldn’t deal with that anxiety these days, I’m all for an easy life.’ 

Vicky’s appearance on the show comes just days after she paid tribute to her late best friend Paul Burns as she marked his birthday earlier this month.

The television personality took to Instagram to pen a touching tribute to the popular Newcastle bar boss who died, aged 37, on June 2 2018.

Vicky emotionally said in her post that ‘grief is the price we must pay for loving someone worth losing’ and that she was marking the day by remembering all of their ‘amazing’ memories. 

Posting a collection of throwback pictures with her late best friend Paul, the former Geordie Shore star penned: ‘I will always really miss you Paul, we all will.’
