Vicky Pattison Admits Six-Year Lie About Husband’s Age as She Opens Up on Relationship
TWICE-pop star Vicky Pattison has admitted to lying about her husband’s age for six years, revealing the truth in an interview with her podcast co-host Angela Scanlon. The couple tied the knot last year, marking a significant milestone in their decade-long relationship.
Age Lie Revealed
Pattison, 37, and Ercan Ramadan, who first met six years ago when he was part of the cast of The Only Way Is Essex, have been together for nearly a decade. However, Pattison has admitted that she misled people about his age from the start.
“When we first got together, I was 31 and he was 25,” she revealed during an episode of her Get A Grip podcast. “The press got hold of us dating obviously and in their head it was just so f***ing alien that a 31-year-old woman would go out with a 25-year-old man. So they were like, ‘He mustn’t be 25, he must be 35.’ I’ve never f***g told them they’ve got it wrong so now they think he’s 42,” she laughed.
Strictly Come Dancing and Relationship Dynamics
Pattison has been making waves on the dance floor this year as a contestant on Strictly Come Dancing, performing with professional partner Kai Widdrington. Despite her success on the show, Pattison revealed that being in the public eye and the pressure of performing have taken their toll on her personal life.
“We’ve been together for nearly ten years and we have a really healthy relationship in every aspect. But it’s just so hard,” Pattison told the Mail on Sunday. “You’re so exhausted, you’re training for many hours a day.
I’m still working outside of this. I’m podcasting, doing all my social bits, I have just launched a clothing collection. Things are full on.”
The former Geordie Shore star continued to express her appreciation for Ramadan’s patience and support: “He’s having to be a little bit patient with us at the minute,” she said. “I think he’s potentially one of the only people in my inner circle, who’s hoping I’m getting booted out.”
Future of Their Relationship
Pattison’s admission about her husband’s age and the challenges they face as a public couple offer insights into their ongoing relationship. While the couple has faced scrutiny and speculation from the media over the years, Pattison’s openness about their age difference and the pressures of fame highlights the complexities that come with being in the spotlight.
As Pattison continues her journey on Strictly Come Dancing, fans will be eagerly watching to see how she balances her career aspirations with maintaining a healthy personal life. The couple’s relationship serves as an interesting case study for the entertainment industry and its impact on celebrity couples.
