Geordie Shore's Vicky Pattison to front new deepfake docummentary
Geordie Shore star Vicky Pattison is fronting a new documentary for Channel 4 which airs this month.
Vicky Pattison: My Deepfake Sex Tape, airing at 10pm on January 28, is a sensitive and impactful documentary that will examine the rise in deepfake pornography and the impact it is having on women and girls in today's society.
As part of her investigation into the issue, the I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here winner directed, produced and released her own deepfake video to better understand how these videos spread online and how you go about getting these images and videos taken down.

"I am hugely passionate about women’s issues, and have found myself increasingly disturbed by how prevalent the problem of deepfake porn is becoming," says Pattison.
"This is just the latest trend in the abuse of women and having met some of the inspirational women who have put their lives back together after being victims of sexually explicit deepfake abuse, I feel more strongly than ever that we need to stand with these women and continue to put pressure on the greater powers within the government to catch up with the speed at which this technology is advancing."
Opening up about her deepfake video, as part of the documentary process, Vicky said: "I wrestled with this decision for a long time, mulling over the permanence of it, and ultimately coming to accept the fact that this content may live online forever.
"Whilst I know this doesn’t compare to the distress and horror actual victims feel when they discover this content of themselves, I hope it will give some insight into what they go through."

Vicky also sits down with a number of victims of deepfake in the documentary, including Channel 4 News presenter Cathy Newman, who discovered a deepfake porn video of her last year.
She also meets Cara Hunter, a Member of the Legislative Assembly in Northern Ireland, who was the victim of image-based abuse in 2022.
"I want this documentary to bring attention to the imbalance of power and encourage society, lawmakers, and tech companies to provide stronger protections and support for those who are affected," Vicky says.
"My goal is to foster empathy and drive action and to contribute to a larger movement for justice and change, so victims feel supported, understood, and empowered to reclaim their voices and control."
Vicky Pattison: My Deepfake Sex Tape will be available to watch and stream on Channel 4 at 10pm on Tuesday 28th January.
