She was the weight-loss story of the year when she lost three stone and unveiled her size 6 body to the world.
But, since releasing her own 7 Day Slim DVD, Vicky Pattison has admitted she's has regained some of the weight she lost, after going out and 'having fun and drinking' again.
The 26-year-old explained: 'I'm trying really hard but it's not my main focus any more. I'm back into partying and living my life so it's slightly fallen by the wayside.'

Weight-gain: Reality TV star Vicky Pattison has admitted to gaining 12lbs over the past three months
Speaking to Karmel Doughty at New! magazine, the 26-year-old said: 'I have put on weight – I'm 8st 12bs. I'm far more into living my life, having fun and drinking.'
Vicky added: 'I still fit into my clothes – I still feel great on nights out. It's where my body is comfortable. People say I've gone too far and I'm being obsessed, but I'll never be obsessed with weight loss.'
Although she's gained 12lbs in just three months, the star was adamant she was still very much into the training regime she preached about on her 7 Day Slim promotional trail.
She said: 'I still try to train regularly and I'm quite careful with my diet.'
Hitting the 'toon': The 26-year-old is preparing to begin filming for reality TV show Geordie Shore again - which might put pay to her new-found healthy lifestyle
Her own before and after: Vicky tweeted this picture three months ago to show how far she'd come
And the star was seen out in Newcastle just last week with the rest of the Geordie Shore cast.
The party-centric crew are preparing for the carnage to commence once again as they hit 'the toon' to film scenes for the upcoming eighth series of the MTV reality show.
She said of her return to the show: 'I'm over the moon to be coming back into the Geordie Shore house! I've had a good long break, time to see my friends and family and do everything I've wanted to do, and now I can't wait to get back in and see the rest of the gang!
But the hectic lifestyle of the Geordie Shore filming might put pay to Vicky's healthy eating regime as the TV show is famously about excessive drinking, partying and fast-food.
Vicky's not just back on our screens in Geordie Shore later this year; the 26-year-old reality TV star is also gearing up for her turn in Ex On The Beach.

MTV's latest reality TV show, filmed last year in Marbella, where Vicky and other singletons face their exes - much to their surprise.
She said: 'None of us knew there were going to be any exes there - we all thought we were donig a show called Summer Of Love where four lasses and four lads were looking for love.'
The programme, which Vicky describes as 'a modern-day Shakespeare play', the star was reunited with her former fiancé Ricci Guarnaccio.
But it wasn't all hearts and flowers when the two were reunited: 'Ricci and I didn't see eye-to-eye when we were going out, so why would we see eye-to-eye when we were finished?'
It's been a rough time for Vicky who initially stunned fans by losing three stone over a six-month period, launching a best-selling fitness DVD as a result.

Back to her old lifestyle: The star will soon be filming for Geordie Shore again, which will involved a heavy alcohol and fast-food intake
But a TV ad for the product, starring the Geordie Shore babe, has been banned for misleading viewers into thinking they could lose three stone in just one week.
The DVD, called Vicky's 7 Day Slim - which knocked Davina McCall's Davina: Fit in 15 off the number one spot earlier this year - showed 'before and after' shots of the 26-year-old.
One image showed the reality TV star in a pink bikini on a beach - when she was three stone heavier - and compared her to her 'new slimline' size six figure, again wearing a pink bikini, after taking part in the fitness programme.
One person complained that the ad was misleading at it implied you could lose three stone in just one week.

Bosses at the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) banned the ad for misleading viewers into thinking they could lose three stone in just seven days.
It criticised the ad for its failure to clarify - in sufficiently readable text - that the 7-day slim workout refers to weight-loss over 12 months with a calorie controlled diet.
However, bosses at Universal Pictures (UK) Ltd - which made the DVD - said it did not believe viewers would think they could lose three stone in just seven days.
They said the product name 7 Day Slim referred to a weekly cycle of seven workouts to be repeated over time in order to achieve significant weight loss and that Vicky Pattison's weight loss took place over six months.
A representative for Vicky has been contacted.
