Vicky emotionally spoke about not yet being a mother after being open about her journey to freeze her eggs
Vicky Pattison has been seen wiping away the tears as she spoke about not yet being a mother after being open about her journey to freeze her eggs.
The presenter and reality TV star revealed back in 2022 that she had decided to have her eggs frozen, saying at the time that her body ‘doesn’t have the luxury of loads of time’, while also knowing that it wasn’t the ‘right time’ for her to have children.
At the time, Vicky and her now-husband Ercan were early in their relationship, having met in 2019, but they have recently been seen discussing what the future looks like for them in their E4 documentary, Vicky Pattison: Maybe, Baby?, which followed the realities and pressures couples face to start a family.
Now, Vicky has emotionally opened up about her family plans, saying she feels “a bit lost” because she does not yet have a child. The former Geordie Shore star opened up on the Sort Your Life Out Unpacked podcast, telling host Dilly Carter: “It’s just the way the cookie crumbles and like how life sometimes presents you with different things and different opportunities and stuff.
“And I’ve never really felt ready until now!” The 38-year-old admitted: “It’s wild but like something just clicks, and the minute you feel ready it’s like you need a baby straight away.”
She explained: “And all my whole life I felt so content and so happy and so proud of the things I was doing, and now all of a sudden, because I don’t have a baby, I feel a bit lost,” before admitting: “I didn’t think I’d be this age without a baby or a family.”
As she wiped away tears, she praised her husband: “I love my husband so much. He’s going to make such a great dad. We’re just trying not to put too much pressure on ourselves.” In typical Vicky fashion, the Strictly Come Dancing 2025 contestant joked: “But yeah, at the moment, Well I mean, he’s [Ercan’s] having a lovely time.”
During her recent documentary, Vicky expressed her biggest concern was how having a baby could impact on her TV career, which she has finally got to a point she had dreamed of and also shared her worries that she wouldn’t be a good mother.
This is something she later echoed as she and Ercan spoke to Giovanna Fletcher on the latest episode of her podcast, Happy Mum Happy Baby. “I am absolutely terrified, and I’ll cry when I say this, I have a genuine fear that I won’t be good enough to be a mam,” she told the host, and former I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here winner.
But Ercan was quick to reassure her, speaking about Vicky’s caring side when it comes to their relationship, and hers with their beloved dogs, Max and Milo. He said: I’ve seen the way you are with the dogs, I’ve seen the way you are with me, she’s going to be unbelievable. She’s incredible.”
