Vicky Pattison wishes she'd been "better advised" by 'Geordie Shore' bosses.
The 27-year-old reality TV star quit the MTV show that made her famous last year after nine series, but has now admitted she wishes she'd taken "some time off" earlier on in her career, and been more like the character Issy in her new novel 'All That Glitters'.
Vicky said: "I have forged quite a successful career for myself out of 'Geordie Shore'. I feel very fortunate and I do work very hard, but there have been times when I wish I'd been better advised.
"I wish I'd taken some time off and taken time for myself or - if I'd realised what Issy realised towards the end - that all of those celeb parties, photo shoots and the glamorous lifestyle don't mean anything unless you've got your family and friends there supporting you."
The 'Judge Geordie' host - who was famous for being very outspoken - added she thinks Issy is a "better" person than she is, because she thinks before she speaks.
Speaking to The Sun newspaper, Vicky said: "Issy has a lot of traits but she's better than me, she's nicer than me because I made her that way. She thinks more before she speaks than I do. She's me if I could edit myself."
