Engaged Vicky Pattinson admits she has no wedding plans and doesn't want kids right now as she embarks on pilgrimage | The Sun
VICKY Pattinson says she has not made a start on planning her wedding – despite getting engaged more than a year ago.
The reality TV star, 35, has also opened up on choosing to delay having children until the future by freezing her eggs.
Vicky got engaged to her former Towie star boyfriend Ercan Ramadan after he popped the question in Dubai last February.
Although she admits she's "not getting any younger", the former I'm A Celeb winner says she's not ready for motherhood.
She's also pushed back wedding planning after putting work first.
Vicky – who is currently starring on BBC's Pilgrimage – told The Sun in an exclusive interview: "I keep telling everyone it will be in the school holidays next year because I have a lot of friends with kids but I am no further forward.

"It is so expensive and there is so much to do I am not sure when we'll be getting married."
Vicky added: "To be honest I don't really have any [plans]. I really under-estimated how much there was to do.
"I was telling everyone I wanted rustic vibes in Italy and then my wedding planner went out and sent me all these pictures of venues and I was like, 'It's all very rustic, isn't it.'
"So I've realised I don't want rustic, I want modern with candles everywhere. I feel like we are back at square one to be honest."

Instead, Vicky spent January off work focusing on freezing her eggs with the support of her fiance.
But she admits the process was tougher than she thought.
Vicky was unable to go ahead with the procedure after doctors found a cyst on her ovary.
"I was so excited to start the year doing something so positive but you are completely beholden to your body and my body failed me a bit," Vicky says.
"They discovered a cyst on my ovary which is quite common and nothing serious but it did mean they couldn't do the procedure.
"Then the next month I was in a shoot in Sicily when I came on my period so couldn't do it.
"My diary is just so full with work I'm not sure when I will be able to do it.
"I am keeping my fingers crossed that next month I will be able to go get it done but there's a chance I may be working somewhere and there's also a chance the cyst may still be there so I am just trying to roll with the punches.
"I am such a control freak so I am really trying to relax and hand things over to the universe, but I am also mindful I am not getting any younger and I do need to start soon regardless of my work schedule."
Vicky and Ercan met a year before getting engaged and first moved in together in 2019 – nine months after her split with her cheating ex-fiancé John Noble.
She embarked on a trek around Portugal on a traditionally Catholic Pilgrimage.
