Reality television favourite Vicky Pattison found herself at the centre of an unexpected social media storm this week, after what was intended to be a glamorous poolside photoshoot took a decidedly awkward turn.
The former Geordie Shore star, known for her confident persona, shared a series of sultry snaps to her Instagram followers, posing in a chic black bikini beside a stunning infinity pool. The caption, "Mood forever," suggested the 36-year-old was feeling effortlessly cool and collected.
The Glitch in the Glamour
However, the illusion of perfection was swiftly shattered by her legion of fans. While Vicky struck a pose for the camera, her oversized sunglasses betrayed her. Reflected clearly in the lenses was the unmistakable figure of her photographer, crouched on the ground to capture the perfect angle.
The seemingly candid, off-guard moment was revealed to be a carefully staged setup, much to the amusement of her followers. Comments quickly flooded in, with one user joking, "Not the photographer in the reflection," while another quipped, "The person taking the pic is sending me."
A Good-Humoured Response
True to her reputation for not taking herself too seriously, Vicky appeared to take the blunder in her stride. Rather than deleting the post, she engaged with the humorous comments, showing she can laugh at herself.
This isn't the first time a celebrity has been caught out by an accidental reflection. From visible camera crews in mirrors to photographers reflected in windows, it's a common hazard in the world of curated social media content.
Pattison's mishap serves as a light-hearted reminder that even the most polished online images often have a team behind them, and that sometimes, the most relatable moments are the unplanned ones.
