Geordie Shore star Vicky Pattison and Irish TV presenter Angela Scanlon will discuss topics including motherhood and internet drama as the hosts of a new podcast titled Get A Grip. 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 Irish 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.
