Vicky Pattison has revealed her desire to have babies with boyfriend Ercan Ramadan – but confirms she isn’t pregnant.
The former Geordie Shore star, 33, mistakenly gave the impression she was expecting after posting a photo of Ercan, 27, with his hands on her stomach to Instagram last week.
In an exclusive interview, Vicky told MailOnline she is hoping to start a family one day, after moving to a bigger property and ‘permanently settling down’ in Essex.
‘I’ve got a lovely partner in my life’: Vicky Pattison has revealed her desire to have babies with boyfriend Ercan Ramadan – but confirms she isn’t pregnant yet
She said: ‘Lockdown has been a huge transitional period for me. We’ve moved house, and given the fact we’ve been through a global pandemic I do feel like I’m doing quite well.
‘We definitely needed a bigger place, I owned my property in Brentwood for five years and I absolutely loved it, it was the first property I bought when I left the jungle.
‘I was dead excited moving to the big smoke. I felt like I was little country mouse packing up and moving out to the big city.
‘But over the last five years a lot has changed, I’ve got a lovely partner in my life, this move is pretty permanent for the foreseeable, I am setting roots down here. Who knows what’s going to happen in the future…
‘In years to come, I would love to fill this house with little feet, but for the moment I’m taking my time and embracing the move and potentially a puppy. It’s definitely going to be dogs soon.’

Vicky left Geordie Shore behind in 2014 after nine years on the MTV series, and she’s since shown no signs of slowing down.
She became queen of ITV’s I’m A Celeb in 2015 and has appeared on MasterChef, Celebrity Juice and Coach Trip, and hosts her own podcast The Secret To.
Moving into her new Essex property with Ercan gave Vicky the chance to reflect on her career so far, and she couldn’t feel prouder of her achievements.
She said: ‘It’s been my goal to have a nice house and a nice life. We needed a nice garden and some nice space.
‘I’m not an NHS nurse or down the mines or anything like that but I’ve worked constantly and I work hard and I’m feeling very proud and happy with where I’m at right now.’

Vicky started dating Ercan in 2019, just three months after she was left heartbroken by her cheating ex-fiancé John Noble.
The former I’m A Celeb winner has now ‘fallen in love’ with Ercan after embracing life as a ‘southerner’ but insists she’s still a Geordie girl at heart, and dreams of someday moving back to be closer to her family.
She said: ‘We had a pretty rude awakening at how much work is involved in a house move, we’ve been overwhelmed with it all. I was just so stressed.
‘It’s been painless in the big scheme of things but ultimately we overestimated it.
‘There’s still some teething problems, loads of boxes, the German oven – not ideal, at the minute we’re living like single men in their 20s. We’ve got just one mattress on the floor but once it’s sorted it will be beautiful.

‘It’s my dream to eventually be up north permanently and I miss so much of my family and friends.
‘I have to be realistic and my job is down here and it is easier for me stay down here.
‘I’ve also fallen in love with a southerner, so I’m currently really settled. But I’ll always be a Geordie girl at heart.’
Vicky has undergone another important change in her life after having her hair transformed by Fudge, as part of their Cooling All Blondes campaign.
The TV personality, who most will know for being brunette, has taken the plunge post-lockdown by dyeing her hair ashy blonde – and says boyfriend Ercan loves her new look.

She said: ‘I’ve gone blonde! It was the perfect time to make a bold jump. I was sick of seeing my brown hair and the same four walls in lockdown, honestly quite frankly I was sick of seeing Ercan for a little bit bless him.
‘I was worried Ercan wouldn’t like it because I’ve been brunette for so long. But when I told him it was happening he was like ‘fine babe’ he’s dead easy going.
‘Then when I showed him he said “I’ve always fancied blondes” – I was thinking “you kept that f***ing quiet didn’t you!” He absolutely loves it.
‘I recognise myself more as a blonde, it’s to do with my skin tone, I wear loads of fake tan but underneath it all I’m such an English rose. I’m absolutely over the moon with the results, really cool, gorgeous ashy look.’

Vicky is relieved she’s finally found the perfect colour with the help of Fudge after spending years experimenting with her hair, with not always the best results.
She said: ‘I’m sure we can all remember my brief foray into the world of blonde hair about 10 years ago.
‘It was absolutely tragic. It was terrible, I never got the colour right, the extensions never matched, I was constantly being photographed and being criticised and subsequently I’ve really been put off making big changes with my hair.
‘But working with a brand like Fudge, they completely inspired me to do something bold. They’re all about pushing boundaries and trying something new and experimenting.’
