Former Geordie Shore and I'm A Celeb star Vicky Pattison has revealed she's being tested for ADHD insisting she 'definitely' has it and 'nobody's f***** shocked'Samantha MayersMusic columnist16:30, 22 Jun 2026Reality TV favourite Vicky Pattison revealed she has began testing for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) after deciding to seek expert's advice recently. The formerGeordie Shorestar, 38, revealed herclosest friends and familywere not surprised by her decision and she claimed she "definitely" has ADHD. Vicky, who was in Strictly last year, said: "We’re going through the diagnosing process there. Nobody’s f***ing shocked. "ADHD is a neurological condition which makes people with it easily distracted, forgetful and impulsive, often with high energy levels. Vicky has spoken openly about her health struggles in the past revealing that she suffers with hormone-based condition Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD). The star, who won I'm A Celebrity. . . Get Me Out Of Here in 2015, previously said: "Some days I can't get out of bed. PMDD. . . I'm very sensitive to changes in hormones, that's what it is. "My body just really reacts to that badly. "Vicky has also spoken about her desire to have children with husband Ercan Ramadan but worries about how the condition will affect her as a mother. She said: "I’m on the floor in that week before my period. The happiness leaves my body. The thought of happiness, the hormones, everything. I feel lost. "All I want is to be able to give them structure and balance and consistent love and calm. "And I am not that person for a lot of the month. I feel like I’ve got so much love to give. But yeah, I do still worry. "Vicky does her best to work around the condition but that would be harder as a mum, she revealed: "For me, the prospect of what I can be as a mother with PMDD is very scary. "My PMDD fog almost lasts 10 days to two weeks before my period so that's half my life. "So that's one thing trying to navigate that and say to my agents, 'Please, no live TV here,' or trying to move important meetings, or telling my husband I'm sorry for not being myself, or having my sister on speed dial in case I get dark thoughts. "I don't know what that looks like trying to navigate that as a new mam or a mam at all, having to put someone else before me. "Have you joined Threads?
