Wow! Vicky Pattison looked incredible in a brown bikini on Thursday in a sizzling Instagram snap from her sun-soaked getaway to Croatia
In the first snap, Vicky sported a glam makeup look. Meanwhile in the second photo, she beamed and went makeup free.
The natural beauty penned: ‘Same girl, same body, same self worth… This is not a ‘before and after’, not a transformation pic, not a desperate attempt to flog some wonder product. This is just a little reminder that all bodies move, fluctuate and can look slightly different from one day to the next and that doesn’t make them any less beautiful or deserving of love♥️
‘In this first picture I’m spray tanned, wearing a lush bikini, breathing in (obvs) and have planned my angles and body shape meticulously! But in the second, my spray tan has seen better days, I’m wearing my fave nude undies from Marks and Sparks which are definitely designed more for comfort that fashion or seduction and I’m just letting it all hang out!
‘I love social media but I always say the big problem with it is that it’s made ‘perfect’ seem normal and no one is interested in normal anymore! Which feels like such a shame as I LOVE normal! I get so much joy from lovely, nice and normal. Whether it’s doing the food shop, walking the dog, having one nail missing or having a squishy tummy… I embrace normal.

The natural beauty penned an important message: ‘Same girl, same body, same self worth…’
The media personality added: ‘It’s normal to have lumps and bumps, skin texture, tiger stripes, stretch marks, cellulite and rolls.. So regardless of what you see on social media today- don’t let it change how you see yourself, how you feel about your own body and never EVER let it take some of your sunlight…
‘Because as we’ve established… most of what you see online is a load of shite anyway. Have a great day everyone.’
Vicky and her fiancé Ercan Ramadan were joined by a group of friends on the holiday, while revealing they stayed at the luxurious Amfora Hotel.

It comes after Vicky said she finds it ‘painful’ to watch Geordie Shore as she reflected on her and her father’s relationship with alcohol on Wednesday.
The reality star, who recently released a documentary titled Alcohol, Dad And Me, starred on the MTV series about hard-drinking Newcastle natives from 2011 until 2014.
Speaking on BBC Breakfast with Ben Thompson and Victoria Fritz, Vicky revealed how that version of herself no longer exists.
Vicky began: ‘Everyone will assume they know all there is to know about me but this [the documentary] was pivotal, this is different, it wasn’t so much honest as it was raw, it was hard.
‘People used to watch Geordie Shore and think that they had me all figured out but 100 hours of footage go into 42 minutes of show.
‘They were seeing a very small glimpse and probably a version of me that doesn’t even exist anymore.’
Vicky detailed how she now finds it painful to watch back episodes of the MTV reality show as she added: I found it really painful… and that’s not just the fashion choices. My behaviour as well, I’ve grown up a lot.
‘I think it’s a huge transitional period for anyone between your early 20s and your early 30s but I did my growing up in the public eye which forces you to grow up a lot faster.
‘There’s real elements of myself and who I was then or at least who I was becoming that I’m really not proud of and I’m very pleased I’ve managed to charter a different course for myself.’
Speaking of her father, John’s addiction, she explained: ‘When your a child you assume that what your childhood is, is completely normal it was only when I became an adult myself, when my friends had children that I realised that there’s different ways of doing things.
‘I know the experience is mine but I know I’m not the only one, one in five children grow up with an alcoholic parent.’
