TELLY star Vicky Pattison gets tears in her eyes when she thinks of kids living on the breadline this Christmas.

Becoming an auntie this year made the pl ight of more than four million children across the UK who live in poverty all the more distressing.

The Geordie Shore favourite is now backing The Sunday People’s Save a Kid’s Christmas appeal, which has already helped to raise an incredible £85,000 for Save The Children UK.

Explaining what drives her to help, Vicky said: “Sadly, the Covid crisis has pushed even more struggling families closer to the breadline.

“And if there is anything I can do to help or raise awareness, I’ll be doing it.

“My sister recently had a little baby, Mavie and I’m going to cry just thinking about it, I would do anything for her.
