FAME with Jo Elvin

WITH VICKY PATTISON

In this week's episode of FAME, Jo speaks to someone who became rather notorious thanks to their escapades in the reality TV show, Geordie Shore. Vicky Pattison grabbed the opportunity to become a cast member despite - or maybe because of - her young age, seeing this as a chance to change the narrative of the life set out for her, but at what initial cost to her reputation and wellbeing? It's apparent that Vicky has worked hard at changing people's perspectives of her in the last few years and realises now that in some cases, she was playing up to what she thought producers of the show wanted from her. We also hear how her mum kept her grounded after Vicky was crowned queen of the jungle in 'I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here' and she also shares her very own #FameFail featuring Jack Whitehall.

We've all wondered what it must be like to be famous, right? But how can any of us mere mortals understand what it's really like? Becoming a celebrity changes so much more than your bank balance - psychological studies have even shown that becoming famous will change the chemistry of a person's brain - so can you really, truly stay grounded when stardom calls? In this podcast series, I'll try to answer these questions and even more, through in-depth conversations with the only people who really know what it's like. In this series you'll hear from the likes of Amy Schumer, Jameela Jamil and Tracey-Ann Oberman who share with us some fascinating insights from a position held by very few. Plus, we'll be hearing from you about the times you've unintentionally let your ape-brain take hold in the midst of being star struck ... come-on we've all got a story of embarrassing ourselves in front of someone off the telly, I've got loads and will also be sharing some of my #famefails. Welcome to FAME, with me, Jo Elvin.
