Angela Scanlon launches podcast with Geordie Shore's Vicky Pattison

RTÉ News​07-05-2025
Irish TV presenter Angela Scanlon and Geordie Shore star Vicky Pattison will discuss topics including motherhood and internet drama as the hosts of a new podcast titled Get A Grip.
The catalyst for the podcast was "female comradery in the face of the ridiculous", according to Virgin Radio UK host Scanlon.
"Being told to 'get a grip' is not a new notion for most women, and is something I've experienced a couple of times (a week!), as has Vicky," the 41-year-old said.
"Female comradery in the face of the ridiculous was the catalyst for our new podcast. We wanted to create a fun and empowering space where we can unpick the good, the bad and the bizarre happenings in the world each week as we move through our own lives loudly, unashamedly and maybe a little unhinged.
"We're taking the group chat into the pod world and we can't wait for you to come with us!"
Reality TV star Pattison said: "For those who know me by now I am never one to shy away from expressing myself whether people want to hear it or not!
"So I'm thrilled that I get to do that alongside my partner in crime as we do our best to keep things real and put the world to rights with lots of laughter along the way. I have no doubt we will be bringing a lot of you along with us too."
I'm a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! winner Pattison, 37, previously hosted the podcast Vicky Pattison: The Secret To, where she spoke to celebrities about their success.
Scanlon presented the podcast Thanks A Million, which saw her interview celebrities including comedian Alan Carr and Irish TV presenter Laura Whitmore.
Executive producer of Get A Grip,Arianne Merry, said: "We're absolutely thrilled to team up with Angela and Vicky on Get A Grip.
"This is an unapologetic podcast that your ears have been craving. It's bold, brilliant and brimming with personality.
"We knew we were creating something special from the moment we got Angela and Vicky in the studio together.
"They not only get on like a house on fire, but bring two distinct female perspectives to the table, tackling everything from personal battles, headline-grabbing issues or the lighter side of life, whilst carrying mutual respect and quick wit.

Watch moment horrified Peter Andre is left stunned as Princess says she ‘feels like mum Katie Price' in risque shoot

HORRIFIED Peter Andre was stunned into silence when he saw daughter Princess posing up a storm during a risque photoshoot. Princess, 18, is starring in her very own reality show - The Princess Diaries - which follows her journey into adulthood as she steps out of her famous parents' shadows. 3 Princess admitted she 'felt like her mum' as she posed up a storm Credit: ITV 3 Katie enjoyed huge success as a lads' mag pin-up in the 90s Credit: Getty 3 But dad Pete was 'uncomfortable' and stunned into silence Credit: ITV Mum Katie Price has since insisted those in charge banned her from appearing in the ITV2 series, which marks huge moments for Princess including walking in her first catwalk show and her milestone birthday celebrations. The teen is also seen working the camera for her first-ever solo cover shoot - and it's instantly apparent she's the daughter of one the country's most successful models. For one set of snaps, Princess stunned in a sheer pink dressing gown trimmed with fluffy faux fur. With her smokey eye make-up and perfect pout, the influencer was a double of her mum in her early modelling career. In a moment of bad timing, Pete, 52, appeared on FaceTime and even Princess picked up on how 'uncomfortable' her dad was. Speaking in her confessional, Princess said: 'I'm channelling my mum's confidence in photoshoots. This look is… something I've not actually done before. It's a little bit more grown up.' When Pete was shown his daughter's new look, clearly struggling with his words, he said: 'Right… yeah… ok.' Off camera, Princess said: 'I think it was such a big mistake to FaceTime dad. This is definitely not a dad-friendly look.' Pete is seen still adjusting to what he's seeing, and he added: 'Not my kind of thing… but you look… you look…' After the shoot wrapped, Princess reflected on the day and said: 'I did feel a bit like I was in my zone. I felt like my mum. 'When I see pictures of her when she was younger, it reminded me of that. But obviously she did topless and I will not do topless.' Princess Andre reveals what mum Katie Price thinks of her TV career after star vowed NOT to watch new show Katie, 47, made her name in the 90s as a lads' mag pin-up, posing under the pseudonym Jordan. Such was Katie's success as Jordan that she was already a multi-millionaire when she entered the I'm a Celebrity jungle in 2004 and met future husband Pete, who was then known for his 1995 hit Mysterious Girl. Meanwhile, Katie has claimed she was 'banned' from seeing her daughter when she was filming scenes for The Princess Diaries in Ibiza. Mum-of-five Katie was coincidentally on the White Island and attempted to meet up with Princess in a bar. But Katie told how she broke down in tears when producers blocked it from happening. Speaking on the latest edition of The Katie Price Show podcast, she revealed: "When I was in Ibiza, Princess was there in Ibiza, and I wasn't allowed to meet up with her. "But funny enough, I walked into a bar, and there was a group of people and it was the producer of her show, and they came up to me and said, we're producing the show. I burst out crying and this producer would know it, and said, 'I'm so upset'. ''It's my daughter. I want to be involved. But that side stops me.'"
