Vicky Pattison Opens Up on Baby Pressure and Strictly Strain

She backs egg freezing to preserve choice, noting her financial privilege.

Overview

  • In a new Women's Health UK interview, the 37-year-old says there is a "huge question mark over motherhood" and that post-wedding baby pressure feels "suffocating."
  • She says she and husband Ercan Ramadan agree to take more time before deciding on children, citing support from her mother.
  • She supports egg freezing to preserve options and acknowledges that stance comes from a position of financial privilege.
  • Training with partner Kai Widdrington has felt "intimidating and overwhelming," leaving her exhausted and joking about a temporary "sex ban."
  • After both fell ill, she and Widdrington pulled out of an It Takes Two appearance, and she has restarted therapy to address anxiety and imposter feelings.
