Vicky Pattison opens up on 'emotional' fertility journey as she prepares to freeze embryos

Vicky Pattison has taken her "first proper steps" towards having children as she visited a fertility clinic to begin the process of having her embryos frozen.

The former Geordie Shore star, 35, visited London Women's Clinic with fiancé Ercan Ramadan to prepare for having her eggs retrieved in the New Year. The pair plan to have the eggs fertilised to create embryos, which will then be frozen and "will be there waiting for us when we do decide to start the next chapter of our lives," as Vicky shared in a candid Instagram post.

After getting engaged to Ercan in February, Vicky revealed that she had decided to undergo the fertility process so that the pair could have children when they're ready. In a post shared to her Instagram followers back in April, the star admitted: "Now I'm finally in a place where my heart wants to have children, my head knows it's not necessarily the right moment for us and unfortunately my body doesn't have the luxury of loads of time."
