Vicky Pattison goes make-up free as she poses with co-stars ahead of launch of new BBC show
REALITY star Vicky Pattison went make-up free as she shared a collection of behind the scenes pictures from her latest TV venture.
The former Geordie Shore star has signed up to BBC Two‘s latest series of Pilgrimage, a show which follows a selection of celebs from different religious backgrounds enjoy a trip together while discussing they’re beliefs and background.
As part of the programme, Vicky and her co-stars enjoyed a trek around Portugal on a traditionally Catholic Pilgrimage and the 35 year old star has now shared a glimpse behind the scenes of the programme.
The star went make-up free in the photos as she got stuck in with the trek.
In one photo taken against the stunning Portuguese backdrop, Vicky donned a bright orange coat to accompany her walking attire as she beamed into the camera.
Vicky also shared snaps of her co-stars including EastEnders icon Rita Simons and comedy legend Su Pollard.
Boyzone singer Shane Lynch, University Challenge favourite Bobby Seagull, Paralympian Millie Knight and comedian Nabil Abdulrashid complete the line-up.
In one snap, a fresh-faced Vicky beamed with excitement as Bobby and Rita also smiled with pride as they were almost drowned by their heavy backpacks for the trek.
The I’m A Celeb champ wrote a lengthy caption to express her admiration for her journey.
On Instagram, Vicky wrote: “I can’t begin to tell you what this experience meant to me- over two weeks we trekked through Portugal, chatting about our religious beliefs, getting to know one another and working our way closer to Fatima.”
Vicky went onto open up about her own beliefs as she said: “As someone who considers herself agnostic more than anything else- I thought I was a pretty rogue booking to say the least.
“But I fell in love with the pilgrimage- getting back to basics, listening to my fellow pilgrims talk about their faith, learning and understanding as I went.
“The journey was one I will never forget and I’m so grateful to have been able to do it alongside such good sports!”
Urging her fans to watch the show, she ended her post by saying: “If you’re looking for something lighthearted and lovely to fill your heart full of warm fuzzies tonight then this is the show for you!”
Pilgrimage: The Road To Portugal airs Friday at 9pm on BBC Two and is available to stream on BBC iPlayer.
