Vicky Pattison harbors a playful secret, a little white lie that’s grown over the years. During a recent podcast recording with Angela Scanlon, the television personality confessed to deliberately letting the public believe her husband, Ercan Ramadan, is older than he actually is.
The deception began back in 2019, when the press initially misreported Ercan’s age. Instead of correcting the record, Vicky allowed the narrative to take hold, and it quickly spiraled. “They were like: ‘He mustn’t be 25, he must be 35, right?’” Vicky recounted, a mischievous tone in her voice.
Now, years later, the misconception has solidified. The public, and even some news reports, believe Ercan is 42. Vicky admits she’s never bothered to set the record straight, enjoying the quiet amusement of the situation. “I’ve never fking told them they’ve got it wrong,” she confessed with a laugh.
Ercan, however, is less amused. He’s reportedly “fuming” about the continued misrepresentation, particularly when seeing headlines proclaiming his age. He’s repeatedly urged Vicky to reveal the truth, but she remains steadfast in her playful deception. “Will you just fucking tell them?” he’s pleaded, met with a resolute “Nah.”
The couple officially tied the knot in August 2024, first with a low-key ceremony at London’s Marylebone Town Hall, followed by a glamorous celebration in Puglia, Italy, documented in a Channel 4 special. Their relationship, built on laughter and a shared sense of adventure, seems to thrive on these little secrets.
Angela Scanlon playfully teased the situation, joking about Ercan’s supposed age, while other listeners applauded Vicky’s cleverness. One fan even declared it “pure genius,” admitting they would do the same.
Vicky’s life has been a whirlwind since the wedding, most recently including a stint on the popular dance competition, *Strictly Come Dancing*. Paired with Kai Widdrington, who shares Geordie roots, she’s been navigating the challenges of the ballroom.
Despite a challenging week that placed them at the bottom of the leaderboard, Vicky continues to embrace the experience. The duo danced the jive, showcasing their determination and spirit. The results show airs tonight, promising another exciting chapter in Vicky’s busy life.
