Pattison quipped: "Any time anyone moans about the show, I always say, 'It's Geordie Shore, not Downton Abbey - if you f**king don't like it, then switch off!' But now I can't say that any more."

Asked what she thought about a poll from the Girl Guides saying that reality show stars are bad role models, she added: "I personally think the Guides should keep their noses out of our business and put them back in making campfires and selling biscuits or whatever it is they do."
