Vicky Pattison has come a long way since her debut on Geordie Shore. The radio & TV presenter has many strings to her bow, including an I’m A Celeb crown and a confronting and honest documentary about the devastating impact of alcohol addiction on families.

Vicky and Pete have been friends for a long time – something which is reflected in the intimacy and frankness of this conversation. There’s laughter, plenty of tears and even an anecdote about Sting’s milkman brother.

If you want to find mental health support where you live, or talk about your feelings, visit the Hub of Hope (www.hubofhope.co.uk) where you can find links to services across the UK.

If you have been affected by a parent’s drinking, you can find information, advice and support at NACOA (https://nacoa.org.uk/)

We’d love you to join in the conversation, to do so follow @manmadepod on Instagram & TikTok
