Vicky Pattison, star of Geordie Shore and current Strictly Come Dancing contestant, is taking a stand for women’s reproductive health! After facing a tough personal battle with pre-menstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) and being let down by the NHS, she’s pushing for change at the top level.
Vicky met with Health Secretary Wes Streeting, advocating for more funding and training to address the gender gap in health care. Her message is clear: it’s time for the NHS to step up in terms of education, mental health support, and research for issues affecting women.
Speaking on ITV’s Good Morning Britain, Vicky passionately shared her mission to help women across the UK. She highlighted the need for better support and understanding, as many feel ignored or dismissed when seeking help from medical professionals. “This medical misogyny has to end,” she declared, noting that these are real, debilitating conditions affecting three in five women.
Juggling her dance rehearsals with her activism, Vicky says Strictly is intense, but she feels privileged to have this platform to drive positive change. She’s committed to using her voice for good, inspiring women everywhere to fight for the care they deserve.
Vicky’s partner on the show, Kai Widdrington, stands by her and supports her mission. She’s not just dancing her way into our hearts, but also championing a movement for better health care. Go, Vicky! 💪✨ #WomensHealth #StrictlyComeDancing #VickyPattison #HealthEquality
