Vicky Pattison, the 37-year-old TV personality and Heart radio host, revealed in an exclusive interview with OK! magazine that if she hadn’t joined Strictly Come Dancing with her professional partner Kai Widdington, she might have been focusing on starting a family instead. She humorously shared that at the beginning of the year, she gave her husband Ercan Ramadan an ultimatum between doing Strictly, a second series of Honesty Box, or having a baby, and his excitement over her Strictly opportunity was evident.
Despite the time constraints brought on by her participation in Strictly, Vicky expressed admiration for Ercan’s support and caring nature. She mentioned that he has been taking on more responsibilities and showing a nurturing side, which she believes will make him a great father when they decide to have children. Vicky hinted that kids are definitely in their plans for next year, with Ercan eagerly anticipating that shift.
Acknowledging Ercan’s supportive role during her Strictly journey, Vicky emphasized his efforts in taking care of her needs and the household, creating a sense of role reversal that she finds both modern and endearing. She highlighted the importance of spending quality time with her family, especially her husband and their dogs, as a way to unwind and recharge from the pressures of her hectic schedule.
Reflecting on her decision to freeze her eggs at 35, Vicky expressed her desire to start trying for children within the next couple of years, aiming to become a mother before turning 40. She also shared Ercan’s wish for a large family of sons, contrasting her own expectation of potentially having a daughter first, given her family’s female-dominated lineage.
This update on Vicky’s personal life offers a glimpse into her evolving relationship with Ercan and their shared aspirations for the future, balancing career commitments with the prospect of starting a family.
