Vicky Pattison has been a familiar face on our screens since she was introduced on Geordie Shore 14 years ago. The reality star, who is preparing to star in another TV series called The Honesty Box, immediately became a fan favourite thanks to her quick wit and no-nonsense approach to things.
During her time on Geordie Shore, fans watched as she went through difficult relationships. It wasn’t until she met Ercan Ramadan that she found the love of her life. The couple, who had been dating since January 2019, got hitched officially in the UK last year, before jetting off to a lavish ceremony in Italy, surrounded by their famous family and friends.

Vicky’s new show with Married At First Sight Australia’s Lucinda Light, The Honesty Box, is coming to E4 and will test “if honesty is the best policy when it comes to finding true and everlasting love.”
Cast members will come together in a tropical paradise where they’re not allowed to lie. The description said: “To encourage full transparency in their new relationships there is a potential prize fund of £100,000 up for grabs, but only if the Truetopians choose to be open and completely honest about their true feelings.”
Ahead of her new show, we take a look at Vicky’s own relationship with Ercan…
Sleeping in separate beds
The gorgeous couple have been married for less than a year and don’t sleep in the same bed. While most people usually share a bed once they start dating, Vicky and Ercan spend most of their nights apart.
Explaining that their dogs are getting in the way of any potential nookie between the pair, she told OK! magazine: “We’re just desperate to sleep in the same bed together. I sleep with the dogs and he sleeps in the spare room!”
Despite sleeping separately, Vicky did praise her husband for bringing out the best in her, gushing: “We love each other for our differences. He’s making me more patient, calm and thoughtful. I like to think I’m making him more ambitious and proactive.”
‘Alien experience’
When she first got married, Vicky revealed the start of a marriage felt like an ‘alien experience’. She appeared on BBC Radio 4’s Women’s Hour, the reality star admitted the first six months after getting hitched had been “difficult”.
She said: “I don’t think it’s how anyone anticipates, their first six months of marriage, you know, it’s a very alien experience. I mean it has been difficult, I have been frustrated, I have been upset and I have been overwhelmed quite a lot.”
Vicky was also criticised for making a deepfake sex tape of herself for a documentary about the impact of image-based sexual abuse.
However, the stunt didn’t go down well with several viewers as many accused the influencer of orchestrating a ‘publicity stunt’.
Admitting she hadn’t been a “joy to live with” during the ordeal, Vicky said: “So even without thinking about, the deepfake itself, I haven’t been a joy to live with quite frankly and I do feel for my husband, but he’s very supportive.”
No plans for children yet
Vicky and Ercan are not yet trying for children but have planned for the future. The reality star said she previously froze her eggs before the couple decided to start IVF.
After getting married, her friends assumed she would be trying to have children as soon as possible, but Vicky said she wanted to enjoy being married for at least a year before trying for a family.
She said: “Everyone thought we’d try for kids quite quickly – so did we! But we’re going to enjoy being married, for at least a year. I’d love a honeymoon first! A little week in the Caribbean would be lovely.”
