Vicky Pattison blasts ‘disrespectful’ anti-royalists as she praises King Charles III for his ‘impressive’ speech
VICKY Pattison has hit out of those who have shown 'disrespect' to the royal family in the wake of the Queen's tragic death.
The I'm A Celebrity star, 34, posted a powerful social media post, where she slammed people who have "forgotten how to behave" following Thursday's sad news.
Vicky shared several images, including a portrait of King Charles III, a smiling picture of the late Queen and two snaps of the King and Queen consort Camilla yesterday.
The former Geordie Shore star urged her followers to remember the human suffering and grief at a time like this, regardless of their personal feelings about the monarchy.
Vicky wrote: "I'm just going to leave this here because I feel like over the last couple of days some people on social media have forgotten how to behave.
"You might not be british, or a royalist, or particularly patriotic... But before the queen was absolutely anything else, she was a mother, a grandmother and a great grandmother... and I can't believe people don't think she deserves our respect 💔"

The post continued: "And furthermore, regardless of your feelings about Charles, whatever they may me- he is still a man who lost his mother and is now not only expected to take on the biggest role of his life he's also expected to step into her massive shoes... all within a year of losing his father??
"Queen Elizabeth is all most of us have ever known, and I think without any of us truly being aware, in a world that brought us so much uncertainty and chaos her stoic resilience and unwavering bravery provided us with something constant and that brought us comfort- now that she is gone we feel scared and anxious about what lies ahead- for the commonwealth, Great Britain and everything she made people have faith in 😞"
Vicky added: "Instead of allowing that fear to breed, throw your respect and your faith behind this man- who despite losing his mother yesterday got up and did his job today and delivered an impassioned and sensitive speech today.
"Because I haven't done anything remotely that difficult or impressive in my life and leaves me thinking: have the people who are criticising him??!"

She ended her message: "Above all else grow up. Keep your sentiments dignified and respectful. These people are human beings and regardless of their status deserve your condolences and kindness at this time.
"And as far as I'm concerned... Long Live the King."
The passionate post was lauded by many of Vicky's celebrity friends, who echoed her thoughts.
Myleene Klass commented with three clapping hand emojis.
Amanda Holden, who has visited Buckingham Palace twice since the Queen's passing to pay her respects, added: "Here here 💪🏽"
Vicky's former jungle campmate Ferne McCann wrote: "Words. You always write so much sense well said 🙌❤️"
