I used to give myself such a hard time and read into all the online comments criticising my weight. “There would be 95% nice comments but the few negative ones would upset me. “I did lose a lot of weight when I did my DVD, I then put a bit back on, but I stopped beating myself up about that. “If I want to eat a pizza on the weekend and have a night out, I will. I just train really hard the rest of the time.” Research by Ann Summers found only 38% of women are happy with their body and 40% let their body hang-ups affect their performance in the bedroom. As many as 65% admit they don’t feel confident being naked in front of their partner. As well as finding her feet with her body confidence and managing her fitness, Vicky credits John with helping her feel her life is now complete. “For years I didn’t think I would ever meet anyone and I thought I would forever be single,” she says. “I’d had a terrible time in relationships and always picked people who were wrong for me.
“But John is so different. I am perfect in his eyes and he’s the nicest man in the world.
“I sometimes think it’s all too good to be true. We’re planning the wedding straight away, why wait?”
And I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here winner Vicky’s career is also going strong since her crowning stint in the Aussie jungle.
“I’ve been filming this hilarious new show called All Star Driving School which will be on E4 later this summer, where celebrities learn to drive,” she laughs. “It’s been lots of fun. I am not very good at driving but I feel like it will make great TV either way.
“I’m also doing a new project with MTV which I am excited about.
“It kind of echoes the message with the Ann Summers campaign about body confidence, which is important to me.
“I am feeling a level of cohesion with my career and life now. Finally, after all of the craziness, things are falling into place. It means a lot to me. Finding that work/life balance has been the key.”
