Vicky Pattison has broken down in tears after telling her alcoholic father of her fears he'll die before she has children.
In the 34-year-old's Channel 4 fly-on-the-wall documentary, which aired on Tuesday night, Vicky explored her complicated relationship with dad, John.
The former Geordie Shore star's childhood was blighted by his addiction and after a period of abstinence, he has since fallen off the wagon in recent times.
In a difficult conversation with John, Vicky said: "I really want to be a mam. I really want to have kids.
"I want my kids to meet you. I'm so worried dad that that if you don't stop drinking, and you don't get a proper handle on it, that you won't meet them.
"That really scares us. I can't go through it anymore."
John replied: "There's days I know I won't be able to walk past the booze shop.
"It would be a lie if I say I'll never drink again to you. I'll try my absolute hardest."
His comments appeared to leave Vicky frustrated, who insisted that he must commit himself in order to remain part of her life.
Earlier in the documentary, meanwhile, Vicky revealed that she always feared alcoholism was 'genetic', which could leave her future kids 'powerless', 'out of control' and 'broken like me'.
"My main motivation for making this documentary was that I had a strong belief that there was a huge element of alcoholism that was completely genetic," she said.
"That because my dad had it in him, I was just going to have it in me and I truly believed my kids would have it too and I didn't want them to feel different to everyone else, to feel out of control, to feel powerless to stop something."

She continued: "Like their life was only going to be one way - It was going to be hard and sad and they were going to hurt people they loved.
"So that's a huge reason why I haven't had children yet.
"But now I am in a really good place with a nice man and I've done this documentary and learnt loads about this illness.
"I understand there is an element of it that is learnt behaviour and potentially hereditary but more than that I know we have choices as well."
