Strictly's Vicky Pattison proves feud with Sam Thompson is over as she poses with star after finally unblocking him

STRICTLY Come Dancing's Vicky Pattison has proved that her feud with Sam Thmpson is officially over, as she posed with the star after unblocking him on social media. Vicky's years-long feud with fellow reality TV alum Sam Thompson is no secret. 4 Strictly Come Dancing's Vicky has proved that her feud with Sam Thmpson is officially over Credit: vickypattison/Instagram 4 Vicky posted photos with various people she's grateful for Credit: Instagram 4 It all kicked off in 2017 when Geordie Shore legend Vicky criticised Sam's sister Credit: TikTok/@stayingrelevant_podcast 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.' Strictly Come Dancing 2025 lineup IN FULL - including Game of Thrones star & famous YouTuber 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.

A representative for Chris told The Sun: "This is an ongoing police investigation, and therefore we are unable to comment at this time. "Chris will not be commenting further.' According to Daily Mail, the 'violent' stalker's actions have included threatening to spread lies about Chris and his wife, Opera singer Camilla Kerslake to social services. A source told the publication: "One of the most terrifying things has been the suggestion that her lies could get their kids could be taken away - it's left them shaken to the core."

"According to other victims, this individual has allegedly set fires, made bomb threats, and has even threatened to blow up children at their schools. While a source previously told The Sun: 'It's been absolutely terrible for Chris and Camilla. Strictly star calls in cops and almost quit show after crazed female stalker made 'disgusting threats' 'He met this woman twice, very briefly, during work events and then she started telling all sorts of awful lies about him. 'He was never alone with her and they barely spoke so he's got no idea why she targeted him. 'The stuff she was coming up with was farcical. She then started calling companies Chris and Camilla were working with to tell them these made up lies. "She is intent on trying to ruin Chris and Camilla's life. Her other victims are said to have struggled professionally, financially, and mentally. 'Chris warned police the minute his children were put into danger. "This woman posted their address online and made really nasty threats against him and his family.' Those close to Chris - who is set to star in this year's Strictly - said the BBC are aware of the ongoing issues and are supporting him. A friend said: 'Chris almost turned down Strictly because of what this woman has been putting him and his family through. 'She's made some disgusting threats. It has been awful for them. 'Chris and Camilla have been told by the police they're not alone. This woman has form for what she's been doing to them and has done it to other people too. 'Chris and Camilla are just the latest victims in a string of lives she's tried to destroy. 'He only went ahead with Strictly for his son Wilding. 'He told his dad: 'I want mummy to laugh at your dancing'. So Chris bit the bullet and went for it. 'He was honest with the BBC from the start and they've been amazing. 'They are supporting him and are aware of everything that is going on.'

He has implemented a top security arrangement to put his wife of seven years' mind at ease after she was left frightened in the wake of the incident. A source close to the pair told the Mail Online: "Particularly when [Camilla] was post-partum, she was petrified she wouldn't be able to outrun this individual. "Normally she's unbreakable, the backbone of the family, but this has reduced her to a shell of the strong woman we all know. For Chris, watching this has been heartbreaking. "They have invested in top-of-the-range security systems to keep the family safe." The duo share children Wilding, five, and 18-month-old Hunter together. The Sun were the first to reveal the heartache surrounding Chris and his family after the stalker incident left him debating whether to pull out of the BBC dance contest before it had begun.

With the scary incident still looming, a further source told the Mail how Camilla had asked Chris to upgrade the security detail on their leafy Surrey mansion as opposed to buying her birthday gifts. They said: "They've talked about the idea of a security guard dog because they love their animals but also Camilla especially, would feel more protected. "It's heartbreaking that it's come to this but that's how seriously they are taking it. "This stalker business is no joke. She's destroyed the lives of small business owners, families, and left others thousands of pounds out of pocket. "The claims she makes are sickening, and some of her victims have been left struggling mentally after their ordeal." Chris, who retired from professional rugby in 2022, was announced as a contestant last week. Those close to him revealed his ordeal started last July when he attended the same event as the woman. She went on to make a series of disturbing and damning allegations about Chris and his wife Camilla, 39, as well as other people she worked with.
