If you look at Vicky Pattison's Instagram page, the reality star looks like she's living her best life, enjoying luxurious holidays, partying with friends and lapping up sponsorship deals, but in reality, it turns out the former Geordie Shore star is feeling a lot different.

Sharing a very candid post out to her followers, the 31-year-old Geordie posted an unedited snap of herself wearing no makeup, revealing she feels like a 'fraud' due to her recent uploads.

Vicky started her post by writing, 'I don’t even know how to start this post. But I think honesty is probably the best place. So here goes, I feel sad. I bet I know what you’re thinking: why are you putting this on Instagram and not telling your friends?! Or your family?! Or someone who can help?! The answer is not straight forward so bare with me.' sic

The former Queen of the Jungle then added, 'This week no less than 5 lovely women have approached me in various places & thanked me for being myself on social media- thanked me for being real & an ‘inspiration.’ Well I looked through my feed & I didn’t feel very inspirational at all. I felt like a fraud, like someone who is contributing to the problem that social media is creating in our society rather than someone who is fighting to be part of the solution.

'Glossy, filtered pics, glamorous locations, bikini shots, ads & an overall aesthetic of a perfect life stare back at me & there are no signs of the girl in this picture. I’m trying not to beat myself up and rationalise that everyone wants to put their best foot forward & show how fab their life is on social media, but the fact is it’s not good enough. '

Vicky continued, 'I want to project positivity, love, kindness & most of all honesty. Too many people are trying to keep up with lifestyles on Instagram that don’t exist. We are punishing ourselves because we aren’t these people & they aren’t even these fucking people? It’s all for the ‘gram! So baring that in mind- this is me: I have a chest infection that I haven’t been able to shake and it’s making me cranky, I’m lonely, I’ve gained weight recently & it’s getting me down no matter how much I pretend I’m ok with it, I’m going to the baftas for the first time on Sunday & I’m so nervous that I won’t fit in or look as good as everyone else I’m losing sleep over it, & I went and had this facial to boost my confidence and now my face is sore & red, I’m overwhelmed in the world I’m in, i ate Doritos last night in my sleep (yes I sleep eat) I miss my mam, i’m sick of living out of a suitcase, I’m drowning in these thoughts and I don’t feel inspirational.

'My point is, maybe if we’re more honest, we all won’t feel so alone. THANKYOU for listening and I hope you’re a little less hard on yourselves today for it'. sic

Made In Chelsea: Jamie Laing and Louise Thompson

Remember when Jamie and Louise dated (much to Spencer's dismay) in 2012? Louise then left Jamie for Spencer, causing a very traumatic love triangle indeed. Poor Jamie.

Fans and friends of Vicky were quick to praise her for her post. Love Island 2016 star Olivia Buckland wrote, 'Love you so much', with Calum Best adding, 'Epic post'.

Jake Quickenden then wrote, 'Just seen this feeling exactly the same', with Mario Falcone adding, 'Come see us... don’t be lonely ❤️'.

It comes just weeks after Vicky reportedly reunited with her rumoured boyfriend Ercan Ramadan, with the pair enjoying a trip to Dubai together.
