Vicky had posted a photo posing in a towel with her cleavage on show but received criticism so she followed up with another photo and a long caption to accompany it.
'Okkkkk... so it’s frustrating to me that I have to post this, especially in the festive period when there’s meant to be so much joy being spread etc but apparently it hasn’t stretched to Instagram so here goes... 😂🙈 In my last post I posed in a robe with some POWERFUL cleavage on display and this for some reason attracted a significant about of criticism from women predominantly. So I thought I’d pop this other pic up- now this is not to appease these moaning myrtles- far from it.. in fact, I’m putting you on blast!
'As a woman, I’m proud of my body, but also of my mind, my personality, my work ethic, my friends, my family, my realness and my strength and sense of humour which has got me through some dark times recently- which is my I like to think my Instagram account shows a fair and even representation of all these things!
'Yes, there may be a glam pouty selfie, similarly in the next post I may be laughing with friends, the next could be me in a bikini and finally I might be inhaling a bowl of pasta, makeup free and giving zero f***s. I show myself eating, drinking, exercising, laughing, loving and yes I even show my pain.
'Because I’m a human being with many different sides and I’m allowed to express myself however I want. My page shows depth and range and honesty- and heaven forbid some cleavage at times!

Holly Hagan in 2011

Gaz Beadle in 2011
Here's Gaz before embarking on his long-running career on Geordie Shore.
Gary Beadle now - aged 29
In terms of poses not much has changed - he still loves a good selfie and photoshoot. But believe it or not, this Geordie hunk has left the dating scene behind, because he's loved up with girlfriend Emma McVey. They even recently had their first child together!
James Tindale in 2011
James's debut on Geordie Shore saw him spend 90% of his time at the gym and the remaining 10% flexing his muscles in the mirror.
James Tindale now
Looks like he stuck at it!
Jay Gardner in 2011
'The dad of the Geordie group' Jay was the oldest member of the show. Who could forget those iconic brows...

And years later, his brows are still on fleek.
Vicky Pattison in 2011
Fiesty Vicky has had quite the transformation over the years...

She's since glowed upppppppp.
Ricci Guarnaccio in 2011

Rebecca Walker now
Now, she's ditched the party days and has recently become a mum. Say WHAT?!

Life and soul of the party Scotty T joined the show in series 4.

Marnie was one of the last cast mates to join Geordie Shore - entering the house in series 7. Back then, she described herself a "natural beauty".

Well HELLO there Kyle. Talk about a transformation people.
'Don’t tell me what to put on my Instagram, don’t tell me what I should and shouldn’t do: it’s 2019, let’s be a bit more accepting of each other and how we express our truths. And most of all, let’s not tear down other women. It’s about time we started respecting our fellow female- because this ‘tearing another girl down to make yourself feel better’ or ‘having no girlcode’ thing ain’t cute. And personally I would never want to be the reason another woman doubted herself.'
She finished the post with, 'Rant over. I’m going back to my pasta. I hope you all have a good night. (Yes even those who criticised me, I’m showing you love as I reckon you probably need it the most.) 💙 ps this is the first time I’ve cooked in months- cooking for one scared me. But I did it'.
