Vicky's years-long feud with fellow reality TV alum Sam Thompson is no secret.

They've been regulars on the reality TV circuit for more than a decade and delivered hours of entertainment off and on screen.
But they've also clashed a number of times in the past.
It all kicked off in 2017 when Geordie Shore legend Vicky criticised Sam's sister, Louise Thompson, over her working out on holiday.
Made In Chelsea star Sam then hit back in a video of his own, saying only he was allowed to mock his sister.
The war of words quickly escalated and Vicky responded by blocking Sam on social media – a block that would last for five years.
But clearly putting that feud behind them, the pair now looked in great spirits as they posed for a photo together.
Vicky took to social media to share a carousel of images with people she's 'grateful' for.
The reality star penned to her millions of followers: 'There's been a lot to smile about recently... but mostly, it's the people in my life I feel grateful for you 🥹🩷
'Tag the people you're grateful for in my comments... and let them know what they mean to you.'
Vicky looked in great spirits as she posed with Strictly's Luba in the first photo, during a glam night out.
Then, in another shot, she could be seen standing with Sam, as he put his arm around her and gazed in her direction.
The telly stars looked delighted to be in each other's company.
Things got frosty between the pals in the past when Sam appeared on Celebrity Big Brother.
Viewers saw him get upset after he was warned in the Diary Room for flicking fellow housemate Jemma Lucy's nipple.
Vicky, appearing on Big Brother's Bit on the Side, pulled no punches.
Speaking about the incident to Rylan, she slammed his behaviour and said: 'I think there are two ways to look at this.
"One, he got upset because he knew it was a joke, Jemma knew it was a joke and he didn't mean any offence by it.
"Secondly, because he's an entitled little rat who is used to always getting what he wants.'
The 'rat' remark ensured the feud had well and truly taken root.
Despite having a mutual friend in Towie's Pete Wicks – who is Vicky's best mate and later became one of Sam's closest pals – the two reality stars stayed firmly out of each other's way.
Vicky only lifted the block on Sam in 2022 after they unexpectedly bumped into each other at a Harry Potter premiere.
But while both became close friends with Pete, they were rarely in the same room at the same time.

Stacey Dooley's visit to 'Britain's most hated woman' sparked neighbour dispute
Stacey Dooley's visit to 'Britain's most hated woman' sparked neighbour dispute Stacey Dooley stayed over at the home of a controversial former glamour model Carla Bellucci who has now claimed the visit for a documentary encouraged her neighbours to be 'nosey' Stacey Dooley pictured with Carla Bellucci (Image: @pixbygiovanni) A mum, infamously dubbed 'Britain's most hated woman', has lashed out at her neighbours for being "nosey" during a visit from Stacey Dooley. The Strictly Come Dancing favourite and renowned documentarian dropped by the notorious mum's residence for the third series of Stacey Dooley Sleeps Over. Stacey delved into Carla's life following backlash on This Morning where she faced criticism for allegedly feigning depression to secure a complimentary nose job via the NHS. In the programme, Stacey addressed the media storms often surrounding Carla and remarked: "I think it's undeniable the controversial headlines have affected [your] children." Yet, in conversation with Manchester Evening News, Carla accused her neighbours of being fixated with her life, claiming they couldn't resist being "nosey" while Stacey lodged with her. When quizzed about local chatter in her Hertfordshire community, she disclosed: "If I ever have film crews around, they will purposely say, 'We are cutting the hedge today.' Really? Come on. She claimed Stacey's film team asked for 30 minutes of peace (Image: @pixbygiovanni) Article continues below "Even when we filmed Stacey Dooley, when that happened the crew asked for half an hour's peace, and they started to cut hedges..." Carla's neighbourly feuds persist beyond the 2022 airing of the Stacey documentary, with recent conflicts "ruining" her summer evenings. Speaking to the Mirror, she complained: "They burn wood every weekend starting from a Friday night always. So our summer evenings having vino in the garden is a no go. "It stinks and I have no idea why they do it. I think they are farmers, our houses back onto a field, and I honestly think they think they own the farmer's field." The mother-of-four humorously suggested: "Maybe they burn wood for their fire but it's summer so I have no idea but it is probably to p*** me off and ruin my summer vino nights chilling to music." She described the smoke from the wood burning as "horrific" and pointed out that it doesn't help that she and her family members suffer from asthma. She also mentioned that the Friday routine affects her breathing if she remains outdoors. She described the wood burning issue as 'insane' (Image: @pixbygiovanni) She continued: "I have never experienced something like this, they have even built a wood burning shed thing, it's insane." However, she concluded that she has learned to cope with the issue, expressing a wish for a world where she could simply get along with her neighbours. Article continues below She stated: "I think people are just rude and I don't know why everyone can't get along. I know it's a free world but come on, to burn wood.. "There is more to life than fixing a bloody house 24/7. I do not understand the British mentality with houses, it's their life, but memories last for a lifetime, a house is only bricks and water."
