Vicky Pattison has candidly shared her "struggles" with food while voicing her concerns about weight loss jabs. The former queen of the jungle, known for her victory in I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!, has previously discussed her battles with "disordered eating".

The reality TV star revealed that she used to count how many blueberries were in her porridge, "restrict calories" and "weaponise exercise" during her lightest periods. Conversely, Vicky confessed to times when she "ate what she wanted" but was then "cruel" to herself.

It comes as Vicky, 37, admits she has her reservations about people using weight loss jabs. The Geordie Shore alum says people using the jabs feels like a "step back" for body positivity.

She expressed her "worries" about the contents of these jabs in an interview with The Sun, questioning: "I've seen women online losing weight on the skinny jabs and they're feeling great and have new-found confidence, and that sounds amazing for them, but do we really know what we're putting into our bodies? No.

"I don't think we've got enough information about them, have we? That's what I'm always worried about. It feels like a bit of a step back."

Vicky says it is an "absolute shame" that after years of "embracing the body positivity movement" people have started saying "I never wanted to be curvy actually, I always wanted to be skinny." Although the star has "no judgement" towards anyone deciding to take weight loss jabs.

She added: "As someone who's spent her life struggling with noise around food and what people thought about us, being the big girl and all the rest of it, whatever makes people happy is none of my business."

Currently in England and Wales, doctors have the option to prescribe weight loss injections on the NHS. Treatments such as Saxenda, Wegovy, and Mounjaro can be prescribed, with the latter requiring a specialist’s involvement.

Vicky, who tied the knot with Ercan Ramadan last year, shared three pictures of herself at different weights on Instagram in August. She used the post to open up about how she felt about her body.

In the post, the celebrity penned: "I used to be cruel to the girl in the first photo... I let her eat what she wanted but I constantly berated her. Called her names and made her feel worthless. Just because of a number on a scale."

The conversation continued as she reflected: "I was cruel to the girl in the second photo as well but in an entirely different way. I would count how many blueberries I put on my porridge, restrict my calories and weaponise exercise. That girl was a nervous wreck."

Vicky acknowledged that she was "unhappy" when looking at both photos. She confessed that during those times, she combated "anxiety" and "disordered eating."

Adding to her confession, she stated: "Both of these extremes didn't bring me happiness- the unhealthy practices I put my body through over the years brought me anxiety, disordered eating and low self worth.

"And even though I'd like to think I've changed and I'm in a better place now- these pictures always serve as a stark reminder of what I put myself through. And what I don't want other women to put themselves through."
