The 2015 I’m a Celeb winner was in rather more luxurious surroundings on the Italian island showing off her Pour Moi Ltd swimwear range.

Vicky, 34, who flew there with ex-Towie boyfriend Ercan Ramadan, posed in the pool at the £700-a-night Capri Palace.
She wrote online: “I’ve been dreaming of staying in this hotel for 10 years and can honestly say it was worth the wait.”
We don’t think she’ll be screaming “Get me out of here!”
Earlier this week, Vicky opened up about her struggle with alcohol in an emotional social media post.
The former Geordie Shore star has been working with Channel 4 on a documentary about alcohol abuse.
Vicky posted a selfie to her Instagram grid, writing a long and heartfelt caption about the upcoming release.
She started: “It’s not often I’m rendered speechless.
“But after watching the first cut of my new documentary with channel 4 today… That’s honestly what I am.”

The star spoke about her father’s battle with alcohol abuse: “My dad’s illness & my own complicated relationship with alcohol is something that has had a profound affect on who I am as a person.
“At times, when I wasn’t in the best place- when I was abusing alcohol & depending on it I would lie awake at night wondering if this was just it- the start of that slippery slope.
“And in my darkest moments, I truly believed that it was just a forgone conclusion- that no matter how hard I tried to be something different, something more or something better… “
‘DARKEST MOMENTS’
The heartbreaking post continued: “I was always just going to end up an alcoholic like my dad, hurting the people I loved & unable to break the toxic cycle.
“And for years, that’s why I pushed people away or had transient friendships- because I was so scared of getting close to people as I believed eventually I’d just end up letting them down & hurting them through my inevitable behaviour 🥺”
Vicky continued: “I feel so nervous about sharing something so raw & being so vulnerable with you all, but after seeing that sneak peek today I am so pleased I took that step…
“I want everyone to understand more about what it means to be the child of an alcoholic, I want everyone to understand more about addiction & learn more than just the negative narrative we’ve been spoon fed.
“It is an illness- & people suffering with it need our understanding, our kindness but also our strength too- I spent too long enabling a person I love & I know now that I was really only protecting myself.”

The star added: “More than anything, I want anyone struggling to know they are not alone and that they do not have to be defined by their mistakes, their parents decisions or their past…
“Mistakes, moments of weakness, stumbles… they are lessons, not life sentences- so remember that and don’t be too hard on yourself, or the ones you love… And move forward with compassion and understanding and the hope that tomorrow will be a better day.. 💙”
She concluded: “I hope this documentary helps anyone struggling and I really can’t wait for you all to see it.
