Strictly Come Dancing’s newest signing Vicky Pattison‘s years-long feud with ITV star is revealed after she branded him an ‘entitled little rat’.
The Geordie Shore star, 37, has been a regular on the reality TV circuit along with Made In Chelsea alum Sam Thompson, 33, for over a decade.
But they have also clashed multiple times in the past with Vicky eventually blocking Sam for five years.
Despite the pair both being best friends with former Strictly star Pete Wicks, the two reality stars have stayed firmly out of each other’s way over the years.
It all kicked off in 2017 when Vicky criticised Sam’s sister, Louise Thompson, over a video of her working out on holiday.
Chatting to Now magazine about Louise’s videos with personal trainer boyfriend Ryan Libbey, Vicky joked: ‘I tell you what, you won’t catch me doing anything like that.

‘Louise is getting a lot of column inches, but I find her brother Sam more entertaining. I always thought he was a bit wet on Made In Chelsea, but he’s hilarious.
‘Nobody can dispute Louise is in amazing nick and her fella looks like The Hulk. But doing that on holiday with a camera crew? It’s not achievable or attainable. She looks incredible, but I couldn’t imagine anything worse.’
The comments prompted Sam to defend his sister as he hit back in a video of his own, saying only he was allowed to mock his sister.
The pair clashed over the comments which escalated to Vicky blocking Sam on social media – while last for five years.
Within the five years, things got more heated between the pair when Sam appeared on Celebrity Big Brother and viewers saw him get upset after he was warned in the Diary Room for flicking fellow housemate Jemma Lucy’s nipple.
Vicky made an appearance on Big Brother’s Bit on the Side at the time and slammed his behaviour, she 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.’

Despite Sam and Vicky both being friends with Pete, they have managed to keep out of each others way and have rarely been seen in the same room at the same time.
Vicky eventually lifted the block on Sam in 2022 after they unexpectedly bumped into each other at a Harry Potter premiere.
One of the few occasions when Sam and Vicky have been seen together was when she went to watch the live tour of Sam and Pete’s podcast, Staying Relevant, at London’s Hammersmith venue.
However, everything wasn’t smooth sailing for the star as when she turned up security first turned her away because her bag was too big.
When she finally did appear on Staying Relevant in May this year, the awkward history was addressed.
Vicky admitted she had blocked him all those years ago, while Sam said: ‘I had no idea, until we met each other and I tried to find you on the app.’
The trio laughed if off, with both appearing to have put the feud firmly behind them.
Sources close to Vicky have now insisted she is friends with Sam and the pair even squashed all the bad blood as they posed for a beaming picture together on Instagram.

Announcing her Strictly news Vicky shared the post prompting Sam to write, ‘Proud of you mate’ and she replied, ‘samthompsonuk love you pal’
Sam wrapped his arm around Vicky as they posed outside ITV Studios ahead of her appearing on This Morning.
He penned, ‘Proud of you mate’ and she replied, ‘samthompsonuk love you pal’.
Vicky was the 11th celebrity to be announced to join the 2025 series of Strictly Come Dancing.
The TV personalities identity was finally revealed during an announcement live on ITV’s This Morning.
She dramatically burst through a glittering paper blockage featuring the Strictly branding into the studio as her identity was revealed to viewers at home.
‘I’ve not got high hopes for my dancing, I’m a drinker, not a dancer, drunk auntie dancing is me,’ she cheekily quipped.
Vicky went on to admit that she had no misconceptions about lifting the glitterball trophy at the end, insisting she doesn’t think she will win.
However, she still promised to work hard on the series and give it her all as she shared her excitement and nerves about signing up for the popular show.
‘I am terrified, can you tell?’ she told hosts Emma Willis and Craig Doyle.
Of joining Strictly, Vicky added in a statement: ”I’m absolutely buzzing to be part of this year’s Strictly Come Dancing line-up… but I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t terrified. I am a not a natural dancer!
‘However, it’s such an amazing opportunity for me to step out of my comfort zone and to challenge myself in a completely new way and I just really hope I don’t make too much of a fool of myself!’
