At her luxurious Italian wedding on Wednesday, Vicky Pattison announced that she has assigned Pete Wicks the distinct role of her ‘flower girl.’ This implies that the TOWIE star will have to skip important training sessions at Strictly.

On the episode of Lorraine that aired on Tuesday, Vicky made an appearance as a guest to talk about her forthcoming wedding, her battles with Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD), and the crucial part Pete will play during the ceremony.

Originally from Geordie Shore, now 36-year-old celebrity, amusingly disclosed that Pete, likewise aged 36, will take on the unusual role of a flower girl as he plans to travel to Italy amidst his hectic Strictly commitments.

‘He’s a really good friend so this has been conflicting for him.’

On the first live performance during Saturday, Pete danced an alluring Paso Doble with his professional partner, Jowita Przystal, who is 30 years old.

Nevertheless, he appeared disheartened when the judges awarded him only a 17, as demonstrated by Motsi Mabuse and Anton Du Beke revealing all of their paddles.

Vicky and Ercan Ramadan got legally married at Marylebone in August, with their closest friends and family present.

Currently, they are preparing for an elegant celebration of their marriage in the region of Puglia. This extravagant event will be part of Vicky Pattison’s upcoming series on E4 titled “Vicky Pattison: A Bigger, Geordie-Style Wedding.

During their conversation about remarriage, Vicky shared with Lorraine that she now feels more experienced, almost like an old hand, and less anxious compared to her previous wedding.

She joked: ‘I feel like I’m a seasoned pro now, I’m definitely less nervous.’ 

‘A wedding planner has taken away a lot of the stress and pressure.’

Later, she likened her wedding to a zoo, stating emphatically that inviting 160 guests to one’s residence was not an experience she would advise others to replicate.

She said: ‘It was lovely any bride can attest that the process is stressful and is it a rollercoaster but it was worth it on the day.’

‘I will say, 160 people in your house, cannot recommend. It was a zoo.’

She remarked: ‘You’ll find people may irritate you, and even your guests might do the same. Just remember to be understanding.’

“They might not make their flights or choose to prioritize themselves. It’s important to accept that things may not run as planned. Instead, focus on doing what brings you joy.

On the daytime program, Vicky appeared emotional while talking about her battles with Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD).

Vicky shared that she frequently experiences feelings of anger, anxiety, and depression, as well as fatigue.

‘It’s very debilitating. I do not know how my fella puts up with me sometimes.’

I strongly support expressing one’s honest feelings, especially for women dealing with similar experiences, so they don’t have to face their struggles alone.

She added: ‘As chance would have it the luteal phase (where it’s at its worst) has fallen the week before both of my weddings. It has been a little bit spicy.’ 

In a heartfelt statement, Vicky expressed her optimism that Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD) won’t interfere this time. She said, ‘I am overjoyed to remarry my beloved and be surrounded by my loved ones. I truly hope, in this blessed moment, PMDD will not triumph.’

A grand gathering in Puglia is expected to host popular figures such as Ferne McCann and Mario Falcone from The Only Way Is Essex (TOWIE), along with Candice Brown from The Great British Bake Off, among the 120 attendees.

Vicky shared with The Mirror that she’s thrilled about recording their adventure for E4, saying something along the lines of: “It’d be amazing to show this footage to our kids someday. We’ll point and say, ‘There’s your mum! Aren’t I clever, dad?’

I couldn’t help but feel compelled to spread this incredible joy with everyone who’s been on this journey with me throughout my career, and especially those who have shared in our unique bond.

‘Plus, weddings are expensive and every penny counts towards it so this was a no-brainer!’ 

In the meantime, Ercan, her spouse, expressed that filming the show was incredibly enjoyable and they plan to keep it as a cherished memory for years to come.

After their Italian wedding, it turns out that starting a family is also a significant concern for the couple, as Vicky shared her eagerness to start a family with Ercan, indicating there’s more on their minds than just marital bliss.

In a recent conversation about their future, Vicky mentioned that instead of freezing eggs, which she had previously discussed, she has now created embryos. This is because she’s approaching her 37th birthday and expressed the desire to alleviate some pressure. However, she remains optimistic about the possibility of having children in her future.

Ercan shared that they plan to spend another year traveling and working, starting their efforts roughly 1.5 years from now.
