Vicky Pattison has opened up about her ongoing wedding plans - and revealed that having the big day in her home city of Newcastle isn't on the cards as she eyes up a bash abroad.
The former Geordie Shore star appeared on ITV's Lorraine to talk about a gruelling trek she had embarked on through the Sahara desert to raise money for breast cancer charity CoppaFeel. Vicky celebrated her 35th birthday in the desert earlier this month as she took on the 100km "life-changing" trek.
The chat soon turned to Vicky's relationship with Ercan Ramadan, with the pair currently planning their wedding after getting engaged in February. "Now, you have had to kiss a lot of frogs until you met your prince," host Lorraine Kelly said, a comment which made Vicky roar with laughter. "But you have managed to find the one, huh?"

"Honestly, mate, no-one hopes so more than me - I cannot kiss any more frogs," Vicky laughed. Gushing over her fiancé, she continued: "He's fab. I'm so grateful to have found Ercan.
"I think you have to go through certain things, certain trials and tribulations in order to work out what it is you do really want, and what you deserve. I've got a lovely partner now - and a gorgeous dog," she added, joking that the pair's Labrador Milo is more handsome than Ercan.
Lorraine then asked the star how wedding planning was currently going. "We've done a little bit of trying on dresses, we've done a little bit of venue-hunting," Vicky revealed - but added that she and Ercan have reached a "stalemate" because they can't agree on where they want their big day to take place.
"Ercan really wants to get married in his native Turkish Cyprus," Vicky explained. "I want to get married in Italy, because I just love pizza and pasta."
Elsewhere in the chat, Vicky was full of praise for new Queen of the Jungle Jill Scott, having won I'm A Celebrity herself back in 2015. "She deserved that. I'm just so proud of her," she said. "And she's from the North East as well!"
