The ex-Geordie Shore star took to social media to share her feelings on Boxing Day.
The festive season can be an emotional time, especially for those who have lost a loved one. Yesterday, Jungle Queen Vicky Pattison shared an emotional tribute to close pal Pete Burns, who passed away this summer.
A toxicology report confirmed last Friday that Pete, aged 37, collapsed as a result of an MDMA overdose, while on a night out with friends.

Vicky has spoken before about her grief for friend Pete; in particular, her guilt over the circumstances surrounding her ‘incredibly funny and warm and charismatic’ friend’s death.
On the Jeremy Vine show, she said: ‘Back in the summer, my best friend passed away very suddenly. His heart just stopped beating. Unfortunately, I wasn’t with him at the time, which was something that I don’t think I’ll ever truly forgive myself for…
