Vicky Pattison’s Struggle with Strictly Come Dancing’s Demands
Strictly Come Dancing star Vicky Pattison has candidly revealed the difficulties of balancing her career with personal life. In an interview, she admitted that a “sex ban” imposed by her intense schedule is making things challenging for her and her husband Ercan Ramadan.
A ‘Sex Ban’ Due to Intense Training
Vicky, who is currently dancing with Kai Widdrington in the show’s latest series, has been working on various projects outside of Strictly. She mentioned that she was still podcasting and managing a clothing collection while training for hours each day. Her husband Ercan, known from TOWIE, had to step back from their romantic life during this period.
“This sex ban thing is so bad,” Vicky told Closer magazine. “I barely s**g him anyway! Obviously, I love him — we’ve been together nearly 10 years, and we have a really healthy relationship in every aspect, but it’s just so hard.”
The Impact on Their Relationship
Vicky emphasized that despite the challenges, she and Ercan maintain a strong bond. She explained why she is too exhausted to engage in intimate activities when she gets home after training:
“You’re so exhausted; you’re training for however many hours a day, and I’m still working outside of this. I’m podcasting, I’m doing all my social bits and launching a clothing collection.
Things are full-on,”
She added humorously that Ercan “must be hoping” she doesn’t reach the Strictly final. Vicky has previously touched on this subject in an episode of the Get A Grip podcast, where she co-hosts with her friend and former Strictly star Angela Scanlon.
The Show’s Demanding Nature
Vicky also discussed how Strictly can be a highly stressful experience. She shared that moments of nervousness, period problems, and even the fear of vomiting behind the scenes are common:
“One minute you’re nervous, you’re messing up your dress rehearsal, you’re getting your period, you’re nearly throwing up behind the scenes because you’re so nervous.”
This led to a humorous exchange where someone asked if she was expecting. Vicky responded with a joke: “No, you’d have to s**g me to get pregnant, mate.” She further clarified that Ercan hasn’t seen her lady bits in months and jokingly said he is sick of them.
Strictly Come Dancing’s Recent Performance
The article concludes with a mention of Vicky and Kai Widdrington’s recent performance. Despite scoring 25 for their Charleston, they improved significantly by achieving 29 points in the Samba last weekend:
“Could Vicky be the dark horse of the competition? Definitely the most improved! #StrictlyComeDancing #Strictly.”
Despite her “sex ban,” Vicky is showing resilience and determination to succeed on the show. Her candid admission about personal life challenges while maintaining a strong professional presence highlights the pressures faced by celebrities in the entertainment industry.
