Reality television royalty Vicky Pattison has sent shockwaves through the entertainment world by confirming she's in advanced discussions to join the 2025 lineup of Strictly Come Dancing. The 2015 I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! winner, who first found fame on MTV's Geordie Shore, appears ready to trade jungle survival for sequins and salsa.
From Jungle Queen to Ballroom Princess?
During an exclusive interview on the Table Manners podcast with Jessie Ware, Pattison revealed the exciting development. "We're in talks," she confessed, sending fans into a frenzy of anticipation. While remaining characteristically grounded about her dancing abilities, the Newcastle-born star acknowledged the incredible opportunity Strictly represents.
"I'm not a dancer, I'm not going to sit here and pretend that I am," Pattison stated with her trademark honesty. "But I think it would be an amazing experience."
The Strictly Effect: Career Transformation
Pattison's potential Strictly journey represents more than just learning to dance - it could mark the latest evolution in her remarkable career transformation. Since her Geordie Shore days, she's become a bestselling author, successful podcast host, and respected television presenter.
Her appearance on I'm A Celebrity in 2015 proved pivotal, showing audiences a different side to the reality star and earning her the jungle crown. Now, Strictly Come Dancing could offer the perfect platform to showcase yet another dimension of her personality.
Why Strictly 2025 Makes Perfect Sense
- Proven popularity: Pattison has maintained a loyal fanbase since her reality TV beginnings
- Entertainment value: Her honest, relatable personality would bring fresh energy to the ballroom
- Career timing: With multiple successful projects behind her, she's perfectly positioned for the Strictly spotlight
- Audience connection: Her journey from reality star to respected media personality mirrors Strictly's own transformative magic
While the final decision rests with BBC producers, industry insiders suggest Pattison would be a "dream signing" for the 2025 series. Her combination of northern charm, self-deprecating humour, and proven reality TV success makes her exactly the type of contestant that Strictly viewers adore.
As the entertainment world waits for official confirmation, one thing seems certain: if Vicky Pattison does take to the Strictly dancefloor, she'll bring the same determination that saw her conquer the jungle - and potentially create some of 2025's most unforgettable television moments.
