'We're hopeful and excited!

Vicky Pattison and Ercan Ramadan are set to marry next year. Here's what we know about their plans

Vicky Pattison is excitedly gearing up to tie the knot with fiancé Ercan Ramadan after he popped the question during a romantic Dubai proposal last year.

The couple first met through a mutual friend in 2019, shortly after Vicky's split from ex-fiancé John Noble. Announcing their engagement in February 2022, the pair celebrated with a lavish bash in London last summer. But Vicky went on to admit that plans for next year's wedding had ground to a halt as they had been occupied preparing for the party.

Vicky, 35, and Ercan, 29, have also been busy focusing on their future family plans, with the former Geordie Shore star recently going through the egg-freezing process.

But now, with the help of a wedding planner, arrangements appear to be back in full swing. From the venue to the show-stopper dress, here's what we know about their big day so far.

Vicky previously admitted that she wanted to tie the knot in Italy because she “loves pizza and pasta”, while Ercan was campaigning for his native country, Cyprus. But it seems Vicky got her way, as she’s revealed that they’ve picked their venue following a trip to the country.

Alongside a picture of the pair standing arm in arm on a balcony at a restaurant in the Italian town Polignano a Mare, Vicky wrote, “The smug faces of two people who think they’ve just found their wedding venueeeeeee…

“Our trips to Italy have been amazing and we’re so grateful to our gorgeous @everythingorganised and @dillybutler [their wedding planners] for their patience! We literally fell in love with every single venue we saw, then panicked about money, guests and logistics and talked ourselves out of it… only to do it all over again at the next venue. But this is normal right??? RIGHT???!”
