‘They’re the new Thelma and Louise!’ Vicky Pattison and Ferne McCann to reunite for brand new TV gig
The I’m a Celebrity pals get ready for a road trip across Italy’s Amalfi Coast for This Morning
JUNGLE BFF’s Vicky Pattison and Ferne McCann are set to reunite for a brand new TV show.
The Geordie Shore lass and Essex girl are joining forces to take part in a “Thelma and Louise” style road trip for This Morning.
The pair struck up a friendship whilst taking part in I’m a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here last year, in which Vicky,28, won and Ferne,25, came third.
The gorgeous girls will be driving across Italy’s Amalfi Coast and will be filmed for for the ITV show as they make their way from Sorrento to Naples.
The show is set to recreate the famous road movie Thelma and Louise, when two best friends take to the road for an action packed trip.
Filming will begin this month and will see the pair taking in local culture and enjoying the Italian food.
Fearne said she can’t wait to go on the trip: “I'm so excited about doing this with Vicky, out of everyone in the jungle, she's the one that I've kept in touch with the most.
“It's just going to be an amazing trip and I'm such a foodie too so I feel like you should go to Italy to eat - so there will be no diet involved!
“I'm designated driver because Vicky doesn't drive!
"I've got my bus license so I'm pretty sure I'll be OK along those winding roads and I'm always up for a challenge so she'll be in safe hands.”
And Vicky also can’t wait to hit the road with her new BFF: “It’s the dream to work with Ferne on this road trip for This Morning, we have been out socially since the jungle but to join forces again for work is more than we could ask for.
“I love her to bits and it’s going to be such a laugh! I loved recreating the look for the promo for this.
“I am not sure which one I am and which one Ferne is but I definitely wouldn’t say no to meeting a Brad Pitt along the way either…
“I cannot wait to see the Amalfi Coast, it’s not somewhere I have been before and it’s meant to be beautiful... plus I heard that George Clooney lives round there so we will definitely be giving him a knock!”
This Morning's editor, Martin Frizell said: “Ferne is a firm favourite here at This Morning, and with 2016 being the 25th anniversary year of the Thelma and Louise movie, I thought we’d give Ferne the chance to go on her own road trip with a best friend too.
“I’m sure viewers will be gripped by their entertaining journey across the continent.'

The news comes as Ferne jumped out of a plane on live TV today.
She performed a high-flying stunt with The Red Devils in honour of the Queen 90’s birthday celebrations.
The jump was filmed for This Morning, but viewers were left disappointed as technical problems meant they could only watch her big moment from cameras on the ground.
The mishap left presenter Alison Hammond struggling to fill the gaps by talking to a member of The Red Devils on the ground until Ferne came into view.
However, Alison did finally get to chat to the star after she completed the breath-taking stunt.
Meanwhile, Vicky might be pining for Big Brother contestant Alex Cannon when she hits the road for the pair's new show.
The Sun Online exclusively revealed that she has feelings for the hunky model.
Her best pal, model Casey Batchelor, has revealed they are crazy about each other.
She told us that the pair are meant to be together, even though they’ve yet to come out of the friend zone.
The 31-year-old said: “I want then to get together! I think it will happen, they secretly want to be together.
“When Alex gets out of that house I think Vicky is going to be waiting there with open arms.”
And ex Celebrity Big Brother housemate Casey is already planning the rest of their lives for them!
“I’d love them to end up getting married, they’re so perfect together.
“Can you imagine their babies, how hot would they be? They would be absolute stunners.”
In the meantime though, the model suggests the other girls in the house steer clear of handsome Alex.
“I would be worried if any of the girls take a fancy to him, because Vicky would be on their back when they get out.
“I’d be wary of Emma, Vicky might want to watch out for her, there might be a love triangle.”
Speaking of why Liverpudlian Alex would be perfect for Geordie Vicky, Casey revealed he’s the perfect gentleman.
“You just look at him and think he’d be this bad boy player because he’s such a good looking guy, but he’s not.”
“He’s got so much respect for women, and is so loyal.”
