TV presenter and I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here 2015 winner Vicky Pattison has had a difficult 2018 after her close friend Paul Burns passed away earlier this year, and her fiancé John Noble was caught grinding with a woman in Dubai, which led to her calling off their engagement. After having such a hard year, it's no surprise that when trolls criticised her latest photo that she wasn't having any of it.

Vicky had posted a photo posing in a towel with her cleavage on show but received criticism so she followed up with another photo and a long caption to accompany it.

'Okkkkk... so it’s frustrating to me that I have to post this, especially in the festive period when there’s meant to be so much joy being spread etc but apparently it hasn’t stretched to Instagram so here goes... 😂🙈 In my last post I posed in a robe with some POWERFUL cleavage on display and this for some reason attracted a significant about of criticism from women predominantly. So I thought I’d pop this other pic up- now this is not to appease these moaning myrtles- far from it.. in fact, I’m putting you on blast!

'As a woman, I’m proud of my body, but also of my mind, my personality, my work ethic, my friends, my family, my realness and my strength and sense of humour which has got me through some dark times recently- which is my I like to think my Instagram account shows a fair and even representation of all these things!

'Yes, there may be a glam pouty selfie, similarly in the next post I may be laughing with friends, the next could be me in a bikini and finally I might be inhaling a bowl of pasta, makeup free and giving zero f***s. I show myself eating, drinking, exercising, laughing, loving and yes I even show my pain.

'Because I’m a human being with many different sides and I’m allowed to express myself however I want. My page shows depth and range and honesty- and heaven forbid some cleavage at times!

'Don’t tell me what to put on my Instagram, don’t tell me what I should and shouldn’t do: it’s 2019, let’s be a bit more accepting of each other and how we express our truths. And most of all, let’s not tear down other women. It’s about time we started respecting our fellow female- because this ‘tearing another girl down to make yourself feel better’ or ‘having no girlcode’ thing ain’t cute. And personally I would never want to be the reason another woman doubted herself.'

She finished the post with, 'Rant over. I’m going back to my pasta. I hope you all have a good night. (Yes even those who criticised me, I’m showing you love as I reckon you probably need it the most.) 💙 ps this is the first time I’ve cooked in months- cooking for one scared me. But I did it'.
