Vicky Pattison is making no secret of the pressure that comes with being a Loose Women panelist.

The reality star likened the prestigious TV gig with being "on trial constantly" while speaking with Digital Spy and other press at the National Television Awards.

"I'm very fortunate and lucky to join the team," Pattison began.

In terms of her future on Loose Women, the reality star added: "It's touch and go – I'm almost on trial constantly [but] I'm having a really good time as it goes."
