Her tanned figure was on full display while she left her brunette locks in natural, shoulder length waves.
Vicky, who was on holiday with husband Ercan Ramadan, 31, kept her make-up neutral for her pool pose, which kick started a lengthy Instagram grid post.
In the mini gallery, she captured their accommodation with a private pool as well as nights out with wine and tasty treats.
Another image saw the Geordie Shore alum donning a white swimsuit before the pair wrapped up for a helicopter ride.
Vicky was also seen stretched out on their bed with a book after her trek through Iceland to raise money for breast cancer charity Coppafeel.
She added in her excited caption: "The last of Iceland…
"From bobbing around at the blue lagoon, exploring Reykjavik and taking a helicopter over an erupting volcano... we had a once in a lifetime trip to this beautiful country! Was so amazing!"
Hr upload came just days after she stripped to similar leopard-print underwear to showcase her "strong and healthy" body.
AWAY FROM THE CAMERA
Yet away from her Instagram grid, The Sun exclusively told how the women's health advocate has been struck down by a trapped nerve in Iceland.
It comes ahead of her Strictly Come Dancing stint.
I'm A Celeb winner set to join Strictly after wowing bosses while supporting pal in audience last year
Vicky — crowned Queen of the Jungle on ITV's I'm A Celeb in 2015 — is resting and trying to ensure she is fit enough for costume fitting and early filming this month.
A pal revealed: 'Vicky wants to give Strictly her best shot and is taking it easy for the next few weeks so her trapped nerve doesn't rear its head when she is in the training room.
'She's really fit and healthy but she doesn't want a pre-existing injury to give her a handicap.
'It's her lifelong dream to be taking part — and she wants to make the most of it.'
Vicky Pattison's Career History
Geordie Shore (2011-2014): Vicky Pattison first gained public attention as a cast member of the MTV reality series. The show, which premiered in 2011, chronicles the lives of a group of young adults living together in Newcastle upon Tyne. Vicky quickly became one of the standout personalities on the show due to her outspoken nature. She remained a key cast member until her departure in 2014.
Ex on the Beach (2014): In 2014, Vicky Pattison joined the first ever season of Ex on the Beach, an MTV reality series that brings together singles and their ex-partners for a dramatic beachside experience. She navigated complicated relationships and explosive confrontations, particularly with her ex-boyfriend, Ricci Guarnaccio, who also appeared on the series. Vicky's time on the show was marked by her outspoken nature and candid approach to resolving past romantic issues.
I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! (2015): In 2015, Vicky participated in the fifteenth series of I'm a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here!, where she emerged as the winner. Her down-to-earth personality and resilience throughout the series won over both viewers and critics, significantly boosting her popularity.
Celebrity MasterChef (2019): Vicky showcased a different side of her personality as she competed in the celebrity cooking competition. She made it to the final after demonstrating her culinary skills, and later joked that her family fell out with her because they "think I've been able to cook for years and have just hidden it".
Loose Women (2015 - 2019): The celeb made appearances as a guest panelist on the show, but later criticised the production team for encouraging her to 'push' guests to open up on emotional topics when they were on the verge of tears. Vicky ended up in tears on the chat show herself in 2016, when she participated in an experiment about self image. The star could be seen breaking down as she listened back to a video where she listed all the negative comments she makes to herself in her mind.
This Morning: Made several guest appearances. In one she spoke about being traumatised by her break up with fiancé John Noble, and in another Vicky delved into a personal documentary she made about alcoholism.
Second-Hand Showdown: Vicky currently hosts the fashion show on Channel 4.
BODY POSITIVE
Vicky has been in the Nordic country to raise cash and awareness for CoppaFeel.
Praising CoppaFeel, which raises awareness and money for breast cancer charities, she wrote: "I am proud of my little body and what it got me through last week… and I am even prouder of the women I trekked with that have survived breast cancer or are living with this awful disease.
"THEIR bodies, achieved incredible things last week.. and they deserve to be celebrated.
"It's time we shifted our perspective and focused on health, happiness AND feeling good.. rather than some unobtainable and toxic aesthetic," she noted.
"Every lump, bump, scar, stretch mark and tiger stripe on our body tells a story.. whether that be of strength, resilience, experience or pure joy...
"These things make us who we are and we shouldn't hide them away.. we should celebrate them."
VICKY'S DISCOVERY
Vicky's journey with her body comes after she revealed she had been diagnosed with PMDD after being "gaslit" for years by medical professionals into believing nothing was wrong with her.
PMDD (Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder) left Vicky suffering from anxiety, depressive moods, rage, crippling cramps, and a feeling of hopelessness that, at points, left her with suicidal ideation.
"I was told everything from, 'This is just PMS, everyone experiences it, other women can just handle it better' to, 'This is psychological — you need antidepressants.'
'I was told by one doctor, 'Maybe it'll be better if you lose weight.''
Her voice breaks when she reflects on the battle she still faces.
Vicky says: 'Every month, you lose yourself — and as I've gotten older, it's gotten worse.
"It used to last a few days, but now it's seven to ten days before my period.
'I'm anxious, I'm emotional, I'm exhausted, and I'm completely unrecognisable from the woman I am the rest of the time.
'The things that bring me joy don't bring me joy.'
'I broke down when she said I had PMDD,' Vicky said of her diagnosis after turning to private medical care three years ago. 'I'd had five years of being gaslit.'
