She was no doubt eager to get back to her native Newcastle following her stint in the Australian jungle as part of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!
But Vicky Pattison's return to the UK was far from plain sailing as the star wound up stranded in Dubai after losing her passport during her stop-over in the city on Wednesday.
Clearly frustrated by the events, the 28-year-old star rushed to express her upset on Twitter, griping: 'Lost my passport in Dubai... Now stuck and devastated!!!!! F**ks sake! I just want to come home'.
And it seems the help of airline Emirates didn't quite suffice for the reigning Queen of the Jungle as she hit out at the travel provider on social media, after they congratulated her on winning the ITV reality show.
'Enjoy the flight and congrats on becoming #queenofthejungle! #ImACeleb,' Emirates tweeted the star, before she fired back: '@emirates save it.. After the appalling service I've experienced at your hands and terrible treatment of my agent it means nothing.'
But it seems Vicky's luck soon turned around as the star managed to board a first class flight out of the United Arab Emirates and back to the UK.
Managed to board finally and look who I bumped into... The one and only @andipeters! What a bloke!
