Vicky Pattison slams Ricci Guarnaccio

Geordie Shore's Vicky Pattison has slammed her new love interest Ricci Guarnaccio as a "f***ing b***end".

The brunette beauty - whose on-off relationship with co-star Jay Gardiner was one of the central storylines of the first series of the MTV reality show - admitted although the pair have been flirting up a storm in the house, it's only because she's "drunk".

She told BANG Showbiz: "Ricci's alright, but he's a bit of a f***ing b***end. Obviously as it's a reality show, so sometimes when we're filming we do get drunk and we're not going to know what's going on air.

"So when it comes to mine and his relationship, it probably makes me look like a t****r. And that's not necessarily fair. "

However, trouble could be looming as Vicky's boyfriend is due to make an appearance on next week's show.

Speaking at yesterday's (08.02.12) Loaded LAFTAS - sponsored by Yazoo - at London's exclusive Cuckoo Club, she added: "In next week's episode my boyfriend comes to the house. And obviously I haven't been the best girlfriend so his reaction is understandable."

Meanwhile, the 23-year-old star took a swipe at fellow reality show 'The Only Way Is Essex', claiming the ITV2 series has become too "contrived" in its present fourth season.

Vicky explained: "I'm not being offensive but we are more realistic. 'TOWIE' has become more and more structured, more and more contrived and I'm sad to say I'm disappointed with the new series."
