‘Brimming with personality' – Angela Scanlon and Vicky Pattison launch podcast inspired by ‘female comradery'

‘Brimming with personality' – Angela Scanlon and Vicky Pattison launch podcast inspired by ‘female comradery'

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 TV presenter Laura Whitmore.
Arianne Merry, executive producer of Get A Grip, 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.
'And they top it all off with a laugh, which is something we all need more of!'
Get A Grip is available on all podcasting platforms from May 8.

I'm A Celebrity winner Vicky Pattison revealed as latest Strictly signing a year after best pal took part

VICKY Pattison is the latest famous name to be confirmed for Strictly Come Dancing. Appearing on today's This Morning with Craig Doyle and Emma Willis, she said: "I've not got high hopes for my dancing, lads. I'm a drinker not a dancer." 5 Vicky Pattison is confirmed for Strictly 2025 Credit: ITV 5 Her ambition is to avoid going out in week one Credit: Getty 5 She won I'm A Celebrity in 2015 Credit: Rex Features Vicky had trouble breaking through a Strictly banner on her way into the studio and joked her dancefloor journey should be easier. She said she has watched the show for years and was flattered to be a part of it, adding that she just didn't want to go out in the first week. Bubbling with energy, she said: "Do you know it was just really nice to be asked like I watched the show for years me and me granma always used to sit down and watch it on saturday nights I've obviously had friends do it.... "I don't have any grand designs on lifting that trophy I'd just be happy not to be out first week." The Heart Radio star continued: "I am buzzing like an old fridge don't get us wrong, I'm really excited I'm out of me comfort zone, opening myself up to a whole new audience... so I am terrified, can you tell? "I've been in this industry 15 years now and I know I'm not the most talented, prettiest, but I promised myself I'd work the hardest ... I'm going to try me absolute best I just hope they're patient as I'm not the quickest learner!" The Geordie Shore legend and I'm A Celebrity winner, 37, has long been linked with the show and will now take to the dancefloor at Elstree Studios. It will be a role reversal from last year's series, during which she was supported by best pal Pete Wicks. Towie star Pete impressed, showing a fun side to his personality and delivering memorable routines that included a wild George of the Jungle effort. We previously revealed bosses were keen to snap Vicky up. YouTube star reveals he's sixth celeb to sign up for Strictly Come Dancing's 2025 series A source said: 'Vicky loved watching Pete on the series and was in awe of the detail that goes into every performance. 'She has great energy and will no doubt be a hit with the viewers. 'Vicky's done plenty of reality shows but is ready to be out of her comfort zone on the dance floor.' Newcastle-born Vicky found fame in 2011 on MTV UK's Geordie Shore. In 2015, she was crowned I'm A Celebrity's Queen of the Jungle, later calling the show the 'best thing' she had ever done. She previously said she would not rule out appearing on Strictly Come Dancing — but admitted she would struggle on the dance floor. She told The Sun last year: 'I've done my fair share of reality TV and I'd never say never to anything but I'm not a dancer, at all. 'Like, when I found out Pete was doing Strictly, the first thing I did was ring him and see if he was okay. 'Because me and him are more 'stand in the corner, drink and have a laugh' than the 'centre of the dance floor' people.' She added: 'He was really nervous, and I think that's how I'll be. 'As I've gotten a bit older, I just feel like I get out of my comfort zone less and less. 'And I know that's not a good thing and I should be pushing myself out of it sometimes.' 5 Vicky's best pal Pete Wicks took part last year Credit: PA 5 Vicky admits she's not much of a dancer Credit: Instagram

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.'"
