Vicky Pattison harbors a playful secret, a little white lie that’s grown over the years – concerning her husband Ercan Ramadan’s age. The revelation came during a recent episode of her podcast, “Get A Grip,” sparking laughter and a touch of exasperation from Ercan himself.
It all began back in 2019, when the press initially misreported Ercan’s age. Instead of correcting the mistake, Vicky confessed she simply…let it stand. “They were like: ‘He mustn’t be 25, he must be 35, right?’” she recounted to co-host Angela Scanlon, a mischievous glint in her voice.
The lie snowballed. Now, according to public perception, Ercan is a full eight years older than he actually is. “I’ve never fking told them they’ve got it wrong,” Vicky admitted, dissolving into laughter with Angela. “So now, they think he’s 42.”
Ercan, however, isn’t amused. He’s reportedly “fuming” at the continued misrepresentation, particularly when seeing headlines proclaiming his age during coverage of their wedding. The couple officially tied the knot in August 2024, first at a London town hall and then with a lavish celebration in Italy, documented in a Channel 4 special.
“Will you just fucking tell them?” Ercan apparently pleads with Vicky, but she remains steadfast in her playful deception. Angela Scanlon playfully teased the situation, joking about Ercan being a “wicked bit of kit for 54,” while others online have applauded Vicky’s cleverness.
Vicky’s life has been a whirlwind since the wedding, most recently taking on the challenge of “Strictly Come Dancing.” Paired with Kai Widdrington, who shares Geordie roots with Vicky, she’s been navigating the world of ballroom dancing.
Despite a challenging week that placed them at the bottom of the leaderboard, Vicky continues to embrace the experience. The “Strictly” results show airs tonight, leaving fans eager to see if she and Kai can climb the ranks.
The age discrepancy remains a lighthearted secret, a testament to a playful dynamic within their relationship and a story that continues to unfold with each passing headline.
