IT’S a telly turn on - reality TV stars Vicky Pattinson and Ben Clarke have fallen for one another.
Geordie Shore’s Vicky and The Apprentice’s Ben will soon be “tashing off” after getting together.
It appears to be an unlikely love match but Ben – famed for boasting about his Sandhurst scholarship – clicked with Vicky when they met in Newcastle’s Tup Tup bar.
Ben, who recently finished a masters degree at Durham University, took up a VIP table with his pals in the city nightspot a week last Thursday – with boyband JLS taking up the neighbouring table having just performed at Newcastle’s Metro Radio Arena.
And the 24-year-old admitted taking an immediate shine to Vicky, who’s recently been making waves on the controversial MTV show Geordie Shore.
Vicky, 23, was spotted by revellers chatting intimately with Ben, who started out as trainee at Brewin Dolphin investment managers in Newcastle.
And now Ben has told the Sunday Sun how it’s very early days, but that he’s invited her over to his hometown in Ireland.
“It’s a bit more than friends, but there’s nothing serious going on because that was the very first time we met,” he said.
