While she rejected the invite to return to the show, Vicky Pattison did appear in the Geordie Shore reunion on Tuesday night.
Vicky i s one of the biggest stars to ever emerge from the MTV show, having been an original Geordie Shore cast member when it launched to quite an uproar back in 2011. She stayed on the programme until the end of 2014, before walking out of the house for a final time, never to return again.
After quitting Geordie Shore, Vicky was promptly snapped up for her own MTV series Judge Geordie and famously went onto win I'm A Celebrity at the end of 2015. Other high profile TV appearances since then have come in the likes of Celebrity Masterchef, Loose Women and Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins.
Vicky snubbed the chance to go back to Geordie Shore for its fifth birthday series Big Birthday Battle in 2016 and was also very public with her rejection of returning for this year's reunion, despite fellow originals Charlotte Crosby, James Tindale, Holly Hagan, Jay Gardner, Sophie Kasaei and Greg Lake all going back.

The cast filmed a huge reunion party at Newcastle's Boiler Shop earlier this year, with the event playing out on screen on MTV over the last few weeks. And, while she didn't join her former co-stars for the bash, her name did crop up on more than one occasion after after Greg mentioned that he still talks to her, a montage of Vicky's best bits played out on screen.
The Wallsend born TV star was particularly famous for her one-liners and pieces to camera, including "Ferrero Rochers while ya's wait lads?" referring to Charlotte and Gaz as "Romeo and Juliet, if Romeo was a t**t," and fuming at boss Anna for making the cast do loads of origami, before telling them it wasn't needed anymore. After the clips played out on screen, James remarked: "We had a laugh didn't we?"
Another notable absentee from the reunion party was another OG, Gaz Beadle, who was invited via text by ex Charlotte. Towards the end of the party, she announced her pregnancy to the the rest of the cast, later saying it was a shame Gaz wasn't there to celebrate as well.
