Vicky Pattison is engaged (again!) as husband Ercan Ramadan surprises her with a huge diamond ring – after her £200k rock was stolen

Vicky Pattison has revealed her husband Ercan Ramadan has surprised her with a dazzling new engagement ring.

The former Geordie Shore star, 38, married Ercan, 32, at London’s Marylebone Town Hall in August 2024 before they continued their celebrations a few months later with a big Italian party in Puglia.

But the Strictly star, who first got engaged in 2022, was left devastated after her stunning emerald cut diamond ring, estimated to have cost around £200,000, was stolen just weeks before her wedding.

The emerald cut diamond ring was inside a bag which was stolen off a train in her native Newcastle.

Four wedding dresses, two weddings and a whole year married later – Vicky has finally got a dazzling, big rock back on her finger.

She wrote in an Instagram post on Friday: ‘Christmas came early in our house… ✨

‘It’s been a mad old year and I couldn’t have got through it without my incredible husband and having him by my side through the highs and the lows has made everything just that little bit better!

‘Tonight, at home, in our pjs with the dogs we had a cute little surprise date night and @ercan_ram gave me the most beautiful new engagement ring and wedding ring.

‘As some of you may know mine got stolen just before our wedding and this gesture has absolutely made my year! And he got it in a new colour way too! It’s so perfect! I love you so much and I would choose you in this life, and the next.’

The former Queen of the I’m A Celeb Jungle has described her Italian wedding as the most ‘special’ and ‘magical’ day of her life.

She was thankful to be stress-free walking down the aisle, which the star thought was unlikely a week before the life changing day.

Vicky has previously spoken openly about suffering from premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD), which is a mood disorder that causes severe emotional and physical symptoms before a woman’s period.

And in the run-up to her wedding, Vicky admitted to feeling ‘depressed’, ‘anxious’ and ‘self-critical’ as she approached the celebration.

After overcoming her PMDD and focusing on her new life ahead, Vicky says she felt calm and was rid of her ‘usual anxieties’.

She added: ‘I wasn’t nervous at all. I have spent a lot of this year a bit stressed and I was so worried I’d ruin the wedding week for myself by just being in my own head and panicking about little things that really didn’t matter.

‘But in all honesty, I have never felt so calm about everything. I suppose I just knew I was doing the right thing for me, with the right person surrounded by all my favourite people. That feeling was special and just overrode any of my usual anxieties.’

Vicky and Ercan met after being introduced by mutual friends and started planning their wedding following their Dubai engagement in 2022.

After dreaming of wearing a white gown since childhood, Vicky knew she wanted as many elaborate dresses as possible.

And she succeeded after saying her vows wearing a long-sleeved lace gown from Leah Da Gloria before changing into a shimmery gold dress which accentuated her curvaceous figure by Kyha Studios for her first dance.

Ahead of the ceremony, Vicky and Ercan hosted their guests at a welcome dinner, where the bride wore a Vivienne Westwood gown, which delicately draped on her shoulders and highlighted her bronzed décolletage.

She danced the night away wearing a statement flower dress from Nicole + Felicia Couture, putting her hair up to allow room for hours of partying.

Vicky told Daily Mail: ‘Ever since I was little I would hang a pillow case off the back of my head and pretend I was getting married.

‘I’ve always dreamed about being a bride. As I got older, that dream sort of changed and I wanted to be loved and have a nice, healthy relationship with a lovely man.

‘But I’d be lying if I said my Italian adventure wasn’t a young Vicky’s dream. And every dress was so different including my London one… it felt like I ticked every single box.’
