Vicky, 37, told viewers: “I’ve not got high hopes for my dancing. I’m a drinker not a dancer. You don’t often see me on the dance floor. Drunk aunty dancing is me. It was really nice to be asked. I’ve watched the show for years. Me and my grandma used to sit down and watch it every week.”
Vicky admitted she is “really nervous” and “terrified” about taking part in the BBC show. The former Geordie Shore star is the 11th celebrity to be revealed for Strictly Come Dancing 2025. She previously won I’m A Celebrity… in 2015, so she has an army of fans.
