Vicky and her husband Married twice.
Vicky Pattison’s was previously engaged to her ex-partner before calling the wedding and finding lasting love with her now-husband. The former Geordie Shore star is now married to long time partner Ercan Ramadan as they tied the knot in Italy last year.
She was planning a wedding for the first time because she had previously tied the knot with John Noble. In the past, Vincent has discussed “hitting rock bottom” following her breakup with the businessman in Newcastle.
The Strictly star claims that this experience helped her become who she is today despite what she went through. When the former couple called it quits in 2018, Vicky felt that her life had broken down.

Speaking to OK!, Vicky said: “The weird thing is, at the end of 2018 I felt my whole life fell apart. It’s really weird feeling like you’re almost at rock bottom it’s almost like you’ve got nowhere else to go so you’re like: ‘You know what, I am done caring what everyone thinks,’ so you’ve got no choice but to rise from the ashes essentially.”
After discovering that John had allegedly cheated on her just months before their special day, Vicky decided to cancel the wedding. At the time, images of John touching other women in Dubai were made public.
However, John went on to say that the two of them had already called things off before his trip to Dubai. At the time of the break-up, Vicky was left in tears on This Morning as she revealed her ex-fiancé blamed her for their split and claimed he was “set up”.
She later stated, “He claims he didn’t cheat, and he hasn’t done anything wrong.” He actually claimed that because of the position I’m in, he was set up and that it was partly my fault.
Vicky was filming a wedding at the time that was intended to be a documentary. She chose to continue filming to restore the camera’s integrity rather than to leave the cameras at home.
Then, the following year, Vicky and Ercan met and they have already left history. In 2022, he proposed while on a romantic getaway in Dubai.
The couple’s weddings were held in both their hometowns, England and abroad, respectively. In addition to 150 members of their families and friends, 150 people from Marylebone Town Hall in London were present to celebrate their union.
Then they flew off to Puglia, Italy, to celebrate their second celebration. Vicky Pattison: My Big Fat Geordie Wedding, Vicky Pattison’s two-part E4 series, captured the entire experience.

Hollywood is where Maura Higgins is scheduled.
Maura Higgins could be heading to Hollywood after the premiere of her debut movie was met with heaps of praise. The Love Islander plays Rose in feelgood film, The Spin. And my sources tell me Maura’s performance was the talk of the screening on Friday night – and exciting conversations have begun with big US execs about future roles.
“Everyone was talking about Maura and how great she was. She can act and people were impressed,” tells my source. “There were a lot of important people from the film world in that room and conversations were taking place about what she does next.”
Irish comedy The Spin is about two music-loving but unlikely friends have two days to travel the length of Ireland to save their record store from closure. For one of them, not having a car is just one of the problems. It also stars Pussycat Doll Kimberly Wyatt.

It premiered at London’s Genesis cinema on Friday night. Director Michael Head said Maura was a dream to work with – and has tipped her for success. “Maura was thrown in the deep end, but she was brilliant,’ he tells me. “She said she was playing herself but wasn’t. She was bringing elements of herself to the character. She didn’t have an ego and took direction well. I would work with her at the drop of a hat again.” “With Maura, I know she’s been very busy. She’s gone off to America. She’s a brand ambassador, influencer, I know her schedule must be packed. Bbut I think she’s got the potential to bring a fantastic actress. My nan would say she’s got something about her. She’s got that Irish sharp wit. And obviously she’s stunningly beautiful. I wouldn’t be surprised if she popped up in a Hollywood blockbuster.” It’s been a wild year for Maura. It started with her splitting with boyfriend Pete Wicks followed by a drunken kiss with I’m A Celeb campmate Danny Jones. She hasn’t publicly spoken about the Brits afterparty snog with married McFly star Danny – instead she’s busied herself with various project, including campaigns with Loreal and Oh Polly.
And she’s already mixing with the Hollywood elite, enjoying brunch with Wolf Of Wall Street star – Margot Robbie. A source said: “Maura has thrown herself into work following the Danny snog-gate. It’s been a good distraction amongst all the madness and she wants to prove people she is more than a reality star. There’s more to come from her after some very exciting talks.”
It’s no surprise that Maura excelled in the jungle, according to the Spin’s official Instagram page, which had previously been made public. With her distinctive warmth, charm, and humour, Maura is well aware of the challenges she faces.
Maura Shared: “Irish people are known for their storytelling, so it seemed fitting for me to make my acting debut in an Irish movie. I thoroughly enjoyed every moment of being on set.
Producer Ismail Ismail stated, “It has been amazing to watch Maura prosper both on and off the big screen. Despite her busy schedule, we were so happy to have her join us. She was a natural in front of the camera.
“We couldn’t be prouder than Rose’s Rose, in which she portrayed the character Rose, brought her commitment and talent to The Spin. @maurahiggins, I appreciate you supporting us on our journey.
Before they have a terrible chance to save their record shop, Dermot and Elvis (Brencock O’Connor and Owen Colgan) are confronted with an eviction and need a miracle to save them.
The best pals have to venture on a road trip from Tyrone to Cork, but of course nothing is ever that easy and the two are involved in plenty of mad antics along the way.
The Instagram account shared a post on Friday (October 10) to tease Maura’s character of Rose. Alongside stills of Maura sitting at a bar and wearing a silver top and denim jeans, they posted: “Presenting Rose (@maurahiggins, Love Island and Glow Up), a beautiful butterfly trapped in a jar.
Omagh is a small town for a big city girl, and her relationship with Dermot is stalled. Rose uses decisive action after realizing her fella had itchy feet as well…
The upcoming movie also has Pussycat Dolls star Kimberly Wyatt and Tara Lynne O’Neill in lead roles, and it had its grand opening reception at the Belfast Film Festival in 2024.
Additionally, it was chosen as the official selection at Toronto Irish Film Festival, International Filmfest Bremen, and IrishFilmFesta Rome. It also won the Irish Feature Film Award at the Dublin International Comedy Film Festival.
Maura shot to fame on Love Island in 2019 and after coming in third place with then-boyfriend Curtis Pritchard, she went on to appear on Dancing On Ice as well as host the Irish version of makeover show, Glow Up.

Aston Villa’s matchday managers acknowledged that some “may have concerns” during their Europa League game against Maccabi Tel Aviv next month and that they were not required to work there.
Before a decision to forbid Israeli club fans from attending the game at Villa Park was made, the staff were informed that they had permission to skip their duties, which sparked widespread criticism.
Aston Villa claimed on Thursday that the city’s Safety Advisory Group (SAG) had determined that safety concerns should prevent supporters of Maccabi Tel Aviv from attending.
A meeting of the SAG to discuss the match is scheduled for next week, and the UK government has since stated it is working to overturn the ban.
However, it has now been revealed that some Aston Villa stewards have decided not to participate in the game.
Villa has not commented on it.

Stewards were informed that “regarding the upcoming fixture against Maccabi Tel Aviv… we appreciate that some of you may have concerns about attending work” in an email sent on October 3 by the club’s matchday safety team and published in an email sent on October 3.
Then, the stewards are informed that they “will be able to submit a one-off absence request,” which “will allow you to register your absence for this specific fixture.”
Additionally, the club makes it clear that “your contractual minimum attendance of 80% will not be affected by this type of absence.”
How many stewards have chosen to decline the invitation to the game, or whether this was a factor in the decision to impose a ticket for Maccabi Tel Aviv’s fans.
At least four working days before the game, requests to miss it must be made.
West Midlands Police said on Thursday that it supported the ban, adding that based on current information and previous incidents, including “violent clashes and hate-crime offences” between Ajax and Maccabi Tel Aviv fans before a game in Amsterdam in November 2024, it had classified the fixture as “high risk.”
More than 60 people were detained for the violence, which city officials described as a “toxic combination of antisemitism, hooliganism, and anger” over the Middle East war in Gaza, Israel, and elsewhere.
Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer described the decision as “wrong” and said “we will not tolerate antisemitism on our streets.” Other party leaders have also expressed criticism.
Aston Villa claimed at the time that they had received “an instruction from the SAG” regarding the decision. West Midlands Police informed the SAG that it had “public safety concerns outside the stadium bowl and the capacity to deal with any potential protests on the night” (poison).
The club stated that they were in “continuous dialogue with Maccabi Tel Aviv and the local authorities throughout this ongoing process, with any decision placing foremost on the safety of supporters who watch the game and the safety of local residents.”
If West Midlands Police alters its risk assessment for the match, according to Birmingham City Council, the SAG, which advises the council on whether to issue safety certificates, will consider the decision.
Beau Greaves, a darts legend, won the most recent two matches in Wigan on Saturday, extending her remarkable winning streak to 72 matches.
The Doncaster-born 21-year-old made the announcement on Friday that she would compete in the PDC World Championship after defeating Luke Littler in the World Youth Championship semi-finals.
The PDC Women’s Series came to a close with a run of four tournaments over two days, two on Saturday and two on Sunday, with her focus returning to the women’s game this weekend.
In both of Saturday’s finals, Greaves defeated Fallon Sherrock 5-4, extending her winning streak to 11 straight.
With the PDC Women’s Series double on Saturday, she has already won 16 of her past 22 matches.
Sherrock and Lisa Ashton, who are both three-time WDF women’s world champions, will compete in the PDC World Championships, which will take place on December 11 at London’s Alexandra Palace.
In the youth final at Minehead later in the month, she will face defending champion Gian van Veen of the Netherlands in the PDC’s Grand Slam in Wolverhampton.
The York family will have to navigate a completely different reality from the one they’re used to, from calling themselves different to coming under new names.
Prince Andrew’s most recent bombshell announcement won’t just affect the former Duke. Also affected will be his ex-wife Ferguson, Sarah, as well as Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice.
Andrew, 65, will now give up his titles and honors in a shocking decision because his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein, a convicted child molester, continues to dominate the Royal Family. The former Duke of York has consistently and vehemently refuted claims that he had sex with Virginia Giuffre, a 17-year-old, while supporting her incrimination.
His decision comes just days before Giuffre’s memoir, Surviving Abuse and Fighting for Justice, which references her alleged encounter with Andrew, is published posthumously. On October 21, the book will be available.
The Mirror examines what life in the troubled House of York looks like as the palace navigates the upcoming chapter of what has been dubbed “the Andrew problem.”

Prince Andrew
Prince Andrew was christened Duke of York after his 1986 union with Ferguson, Sarah, a title formerly held by Queen Elizabeth II’s beloved father, King George VI, before ascending to the throne. He has since returned this title along with other royal honors that were given to him.
A senior royal’s alleged discontinuation of a dukedom for more than 100 years is reported here. The Duke of Albany, Queen Victoria’s grandson, was exonerated under the Titles Deprivation Act 1917 for fighting alongside the Germans in the First World War.
Andrew said in a statement last night (Friday, October 18) that the continued accusations against me distract from the work of His Majesty and the Royal Family. I’ve made the decision to prioritize my duty to my family and country as I always have. Five years ago, I made the decision to leave the public.
We now feel like I must proceed one step further with His Majesty’s consent. I’ll no longer use my title or the honors that have been mys. I vehemently refute the accusations I have been accused of making.
Prince Andrew claimed to have stopped communicating with Epstein in December 2010 in his now-infamous 2019 Newsnight interview with Emily Maitlis. However, it has since been discovered that Andrew informed the scandalous financier Epstein that they would “have to rise above it” in an email from February 28, 2011.
Virginia, the accuser, was mentioned in this exchange, who claimed Epstein had trafficked her when she was a teenager. Additionally, Virginia claimed that Andrew had sex with her when she was 17 years old. Virginia, who passed away in April at the age of 41, has vigorously refuted the accusations made against him.
It’s understood that Andrew’s decision to drop his titles was made in close consultation with both his brother King Charles and William, Prince of Wales. The monarch is said to be “glad” at the outcome.
This finally seems to be the end of it, according to a palace source who spoke to the Express. Everyone in the room can ooh a sigh of relief.
The most recent action comes after Andrew was removed from royal duties in 2022 and withdrew from his responsibilities in 2019.
The late Queen’s infamous favorite son, who has left his duties and titles, will now spend his days living in his lavish Windsor Great Park home, his grace and favor, and ex-wife Ferguson, Sarah.
Ferguson, Sarah
Prince Andrew’s ex-wife, Sarah, formerly Sarah, Duchess of York, will from now on be officially referred to as Ferguson, Sarah, The Telegraph reported. The move will see her relinquishing her title that she had held since her wedding day with her ex-husband Andrew, back in 1986.
Sarah, who recently celebrated her 66th birthday, continued to use the title of duchess and kept a typically close relationship with her ex after their separation in 1992 and divorce in 1996. The former spouses resided in Windsor’s Royal Lodge after their wedding, and Sarah famously once said they were the “happiest divorced couple in the world.”
However, Sarah’s time within the royal family, both during and after her marriage, has included plenty of scandalous moments. In an article penned for The iPaper today, royal commentator Jennie Bond wrote: “The rumours and scandals involving Andrew — and his ex-wife Sarah (now just plain Ferguson, Sarah) — have been swirling around for more than 30 years.
This oddly divorced couple has caused embarrassment and harm to the monarchy, according to Fergie’s topless toe-sucking saga and the far more vile allegations of Andrew’s activities with Epstein. And Andrew correctly recognizes that the ongoing accusations against him distract from the work of the rest of his family, as he correctly identifies in his farewell note.
“And that sprang into the foreground.” The King and his small group of working royals must have found it very troubling to see their meticulously timed engagements repeatedly overshadowed by yet another sleazy story about the ex-Duke.
Multiple charities recently rejected the mother of two because of an email sent to Epstein in 2011 after he was found guilty of prostitution in 2008. Sarah apologized in public about the accusations she had made about him in this conversation and called the sex offender her “supreme friend.”
Eugenie and Beatrice the princesses
Apparently, Andrew’s most recent move won’t have an impact on Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice, 37. The Royal Family’s Christmas celebrations will feature the two princesses, who will still be present, and who will continue to hold their titles.
The York sisters, who were previously BBC royal correspondents, must have a strong belief in their innocence, will likely face a difficult road ahead. of their accused father.
Whatever other opinions you might have about Andrew and Sarah, Jennie exclusively told the Mirror. They are brilliant parents and have raised two respectable young women. They will continue to be Princesses and be greeted at gatherings like Sandringham’s Christmas party with the rest of the Royal Family.
Continue reading the article.
They have, however, maintained their loyalty to their parents throughout the entire process. They’ll be there for Andrew and Sarah through this most recent crisis, just as they’ve done in the past. They must believe the innocence protests of their fathers. They couldn’t possibly live with themselves, surely.

Victoria Beckham and her former Spice Girls bandmates will reunite for their first professional collaboration in a decade in a new animated animated film about the band.

Victoria Beckham and her former Spice Girls pals are working on a significant new project. The Spice Girls’ first professional reunion since they took the stage during the closing ceremony of the 2012 Olympic Games, will be the simply-named animated film.
The Spice Girls will feature all five of the original cast members, including Lady Victoria, Geri Horner, Melanie Brown MBE, Melanie Chisholm, Emma Bunton, and Melanie Chisholm, who lend their voices, according to the official IMDb listing.
The Spice Girls are portrayed as superheroes in an animated film, according to the brief description. The girls will reprise their pop star alter egos, including Posh, Ginger, Scary, Sporty, and Baby Spice, but details regarding the plot, format, and release date are still a mystery, according to IMDb’s hush-hush.
This exciting news broke as Victoria, 51, graced the premiere of her three-part Netflix docu-series Victoria Beckham at The Curzon Mayfair in London on 8 October. The fashion mogul and former pop sensation was accompanied by her husband, Sir David Beckham, 50, and their children, except for eldest son Brooklyn Beckham, who is reportedly caught up in a family dispute.
Emma, Geri, and Melanie Chisholm, her ex-boyfriends, also posed together on the red carpet for the premiere. Although Melanie Brown, better known as Mel B, was the only present, she had already sent Victoria a lovely bouquet of flowers.
Melanie had previous work commitments in the US. Despite the other four members reuniting for a UK and Ireland stadium tour in 2019, Victoria hasn’t performed with the Spice Girls since their storied Olympic appearance in London twelve years ago.
Victoria opted out of that tour, but she has since remained committed to the group’s legacy. The first indication that the entire cast could once more collaborate on a successful project is in the IMDb listing.
The animated film’s potential will be a series or a feature film, it is not clear. Following the release of their debut single Wannabe in 1996, The Spice Girls became a household name in the middle of the 1990s. Before Geri left the band in 1998, which led to a formal hiatus, the band sold over 100 million records worldwide.
The band also reunited for a world tour in 2007 and again for their Olympic performance in 2012, which was widely hailed as one of the highlights of the Games. Since then, each member has embarked on individual ventures in music, television, fashion and business while maintaining a close personal bond.
Posh may have in mind this as well, given that Posh may not be the only Spice Girls project. She acknowledged in an interview with Andy Cohen that she has been considering the chart-topping band’s plans for the upcoming year’s celebrations of the three decades that preceded their most recent single, “Wannabe.”
Victoria responded, “It would be tempting, but I really liked the idea of the band playing at the Sphere in Las Vegas. But would you allow me to travel the world? No, I can’t. How talented would the Spice Girls be at the Sphere, in my opinion? The idea of it is so appealing. I mean, I’m not sure if I could even sing, and I’m never that great. Soon, host Andy retorted, “You can sing, babe.”
Victoria’s spokesperson has been in contact with The Mirror for comment.
