Reality TV star Vicky Pattison has opened up about the hilarious downside of competing on Strictly Come Dancing — revealing that her husband, Ercan Ramadan, is secretly hoping she gets “booted out” of the competition so their love life can get back on track.
The 36-year-old former Geordie Shore favorite, known for her quick wit and unfiltered honesty, made the cheeky confession during a recent interview following another intense week of Strictly rehearsals. Laughing as she spoke, Vicky admitted that her grueling training schedule has left little room for romance.
“Ercan’s been such a good sport, honestly,” she said with a smile. “But the other night he looked at me and went, ‘Babe, I love watching you dance… but I kinda hope you get booted out soon so we can have a proper night together again!’”
She went on to explain that between early morning call times, late-night rehearsals, and constant muscle soreness, she’s been “absolutely shattered.” “When I get home, I’m straight into an ice bath, then bed,” she joked. “There’s not exactly much samba going on in the bedroom right now.”
Vicky, who married former TOWIE star Ercan Ramadan earlier this year in a romantic Italian ceremony, joined the Strictly Come Dancing lineup to glowing fanfare. Known for her infectious energy and down-to-earth charm, she’s quickly become one of the show’s most relatable contestants — often sharing her struggles and triumphs with fans online.
Despite the teasing from her husband, Vicky said Ercan has been incredibly supportive throughout the competition. “He’s my biggest cheerleader,” she said. “He’s always the first to tell me how proud he is. But yeah — I think he’s also counting down the days until I can stay awake past 9 p.m. again!”
The candid revelation sparked laughter among Strictly viewers, many of whom praised Vicky for keeping things real. Social media quickly lit up with fans sharing their amusement at her honesty. One viewer tweeted, “Vicky Pattison proving once again she’s the most relatable woman on TV — every couple watching Strictly felt that!”
Another wrote, “Imagine being so good on Strictly your husband wants you to lose just to get his wife back. Iconic.”
Behind the laughter, Vicky’s determination remains strong. She’s been training tirelessly with her professional dance partner and says the experience has been “the hardest but most rewarding thing” she’s ever done. “I might be exhausted, but I’m loving every second,” she said. “If Ercan has to wait a few more weeks — it’ll be worth it!”
With her trademark humor, honesty, and heart, Vicky Pattison continues to win over audiences — both on the dance floor and beyond. Whether she lifts the glitterball trophy or heads home early to her husband’s delight, one thing’s certain: she’s already stolen the nation’s hearts with her sparkle and spirit.
