Vicky Pattison has implemented a sex hiatus for her spouse, Ercan Ramadan. The Geordie Shore personality is currently a contestant on BBC One’s Strictly Come Dancing and is frequently engrossed in extensive rehearsals leading up to the live broadcast every Saturday evening.
As a result of her demanding schedule, Vicky confesses that she no longer has time for intimate bedroom activities and has chosen to embrace celibacy, despite previously having limited opportunities for romantic moments. The couple tied the knot last August at Marylebone Town Hall in London before hosting a lavish ceremony in Puglia, Italy, the following month.
Although most newlyweds typically make time for each other, this has not been the case for the 37-year-old, who often travels for work. In a recent interview, Vicky candidly discussed the status of her sex life.
“This sex ban situation is quite challenging. I hardly engage in romantic activities with him anyway,” she remarked. “Of course, I adore him, we’ve been together for nearly a decade, and our relationship is strong in all aspects, but it’s extremely difficult.”
During an interview with Closer magazine, Vicky elaborated, “You’re completely drained, training for numerous hours daily, and I’m still juggling other commitments. I’m involved in podcasting, managing my social platforms, and launching a clothing line. It’s a packed schedule. After a full day of training, the last thing you want is to go home for intimate moments!”
She noted that Ercan has been understanding and humorously added, “He must be wishing I don’t reach the final!” On Strictly Come Dancing, Vicky is partnered with professional dancer Kai Widdrington. However, reports suggest that Ercan is concerned about Vicky’s rigorous timetable due to her reputation for hard work.
According to a source cited by The Sun, “When Vicky is leading a healthy lifestyle, exercising, eating well, and taking care of herself, she feels positive – confident and content. However, there’s genuine concern if she becomes overworked, excessively stressed, and fatigued. The potential consequences are unknown.”
“Ercan is understandably anxious that the demanding Strictly ‘regime’ could push her to the limit, so he’s ensuring she slows down, maintains a balanced diet, rests adequately, and engages in activities that bring her joy – spending quiet time with him and their dogs,” the source continued.
Earlier this month, Vicky shared her feelings about her experience on the show, expressing being “overwhelmed and intimidated” by the rehearsals. “All the professionals are incredibly fit, and here I am sweating in my workout gear. It’s both daunting and overpowering. As you grow older, opportunities to step out of your comfort zone become rare. I aim to demonstrate my capabilities,” she revealed to Women’s Health.
Having risen to fame for her party lifestyle, Vicky’s current life is vastly different, and she is eager to showcase a new side of herself to the public.
“I was young, making mistakes, and not the best version of myself… I fear making errors under the spotlight,” she admitted.
