Vicky Pattison hits back at body shamers as online trolls target her looks once again

“I’m not perfect – and I don’t care!”

She appeared entirely body confident as she showed off her size 8 figure in a bikini while partying with pal Lauren Pope in Palma, Mallorca.

But Vicky, 28, who has yo-yoed since slimming down from a size 16 to a slender size 6 in 2013 – soon became the target of trolls who body-shamed her.

ONLINE TAUNTS

One wrote: “Instagram vs real life? About 2st!” Another said: “The weight is coming back.” And one cruel user dubbed her “thunder thighs.”

But the former Geordie Shore star hit back, writing on Instagram: “I’m just a normal girl enjoying myself on holiday with my mates! I’m not perfect, neither is my body, and I never claimed to be!”

In 2013, Vicky overhauled her body, dropping five dress sizes and shedding 3st. While she admits she will “never feel 100 per cent” about her figure, Vicky recently told Closer she’s finally learned to love her body.

CURVY CONFIDENCE

She told Closer: “I’ve got boobs and a bum, but I love it. I feel sexy in a bikini. Of course there are days when I’m like, ‘Eurgh, I don’t like this or that,’ but I’ve learnt to love being curvy and I feel good about my body at the moment.”

Last week, Vicky – who has recently been linked to Mario Falcone and Spencer Matthews – was snapped on holiday with former Ex On The Beach star Rogan O’connor, but she’s insisted she’s got high standards for her men.

She said: “I want to go out with someone who will treat me properly.”
