Vicky Pattison and her husband Ercan Ramadan are already planning to expand their family following their recent wedding. The couple, who celebrated their union in a stunning ceremony in Marylebone before jetting off for an opulent bash in Puglia, Italy, are looking forward to parenthood.
Vicky, approaching her 37th birthday, has taken proactive steps by freezing her eggs, easing future family planning pressures.
In a chat with Express.co.uk, Ercan shared their mutual decision to dedicate another year to work and travel before trying for a baby. "In the long term, we would love our family to grow," Vicky expressed, with Ercan echoing the sentiment, "We want to move into the next stage of our life and try for a baby."
The former I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! champion elaborated on their preparations: "We made embryos because I'm 37 soon and we wanted to take the pressure off somewhat. I've said one more year. We are really excited. We do hope that we'll be blessed in that space and that children are in our future.", reports Chronicle Live.
Ercan, known from his time on The Only Way is Essex, confirmed, "We've agreed on that. This time next year."
He added, "We'll get another year's worth of travelling and working. I've just started a new business and Vicky is super busy with so many shows - and we've got two crazy labradors. So another year and a half until we start."
The romance that blossomed after a fated meeting through mutual friends five years ago has led to Ercan proposing in 2023, with their forthcoming nuptials set to be featured on a new E4 series.
Their lavish London ceremony will see 150 guests whisked away in classic double-decker buses, and the celebrations won't end there a second, equally glamorous party awaits in Italy, boasting an impressive guest list including TOWIE favourites Ferne McCann and Mario Falcone.
Documenting their wedding journey, Vicky explained the poignant reason behind their decision: "Can you imagine showing our kids the video? We'll be like, 'Look at your mum there! Isn't your dad smart? '".
Catch Vicky on ITV One's Tipping Point Lucky Stars tonight at 7pm, where she'll join forces with comedian Jo Brand and TV presenter Olly Smith, all vying for a £20,000 charity prize.
