'I'm 35, but I'm not ready for a child yet'

She’s made no secret of the fact she’d love to become a mum one day, and now ex-Geordie Shore star Vicky Pattison has revealed she might even have a baby before tying the knot.

The 35-year-old, who has been dating fiancé Ercan Ramadan for four years, has spoken of her desire to marry the former builder, 29, ever since their romantic Dubai engagement last year.

But she has delayed their wedding this year as she’s been unable to find the right venue and has also suffered setbacks when it comes to freezing her eggs.

“This year I really wanted to be productive and proactive. I wanted to be this person who froze her eggs and found a wedding venue all at once,” she admits. “But it doesn’t work like that. What’s that expression? Life is what happens when you are busy making plans.”

Vicky’s plans to freeze her eggs had to be put on hold after it was discovered she had a cyst on her ovaries, which she tells us “stalled everything”.

At the beginning of the year, the couple visited the London Women’s Clinic to have Vicky’s eggs retrieved and fertilised to create embryos for when they are ready to start a family. But sadly, things didn’t work out as she’d hoped. “The plan now is to freeze a mixture of embryos and eggs,” says Vicky, who last week shared the happy news that her ovarian cyst has gone, meaning she and Ercan can now proceed with their fertility journey.

She adds, “I was just freezing my eggs before but freezing embryos [which requires sperm/ insemination] has a better success rate so I am doing both.
