Vicky Pattison wears mint green strapless dress as she and husband Ercan Ramadan attend black tie charity dinner

Daily Mail​25-04-2025

Vicky Pattison and Ercan Ramadan wowed as they attended a black tie event in London on Thursday evening.
The I'm A Celeb star, 37, and her spouse, 41, were pictured looking smitten leaving a swanky Hilton hotel on their way to an event for The Brompton Fountain.
Walking hand-in-hand with the former The Only Way Is Essex man, Vicky looked sensational in a mint green, off-the-shoulder dress with golden heels, earrings and a bag to match.
While Ercan, who she married last summer, cut a dashing figure in a white buttoned-up shirt, a black tux and a bow-tie.
The pair were in the capital to attend the 'Have A Heart Gala' at The Savoy Hotel, where they were joined by a number of other TV stars including TOWIE star James Argent.

In a suave photo shared on Ercan's Instagram on Thursday evening, he and James cut cool figures as they smiled for the camera in their dashing tuxes.
Vicky and Ercan enjoyed the 'wedding reception of dreams' last August when they tied the knot after five years together.
The couple said 'I do' in front of 150 of their friends and family at Marylebone Town Hall after Ercan popped the question while on holiday in Dubai in February 2022.
And just a matter of days ago, Vicky, who shot to fame on Geordie Shore, said she is 'grateful' to finally be married after years of 'toxic' relationships.
Reflecting on past romances, the Newcastle-born star told The Sun that she has 'paid her dues' when it comes to making romantic mistakes, citing several instances of alleged 'bad behaviour', though she did not say who she was referring to.
'It would be easy to say I would've never gone out with those boys, met those types of men or been that type of person had I not been on TV,' she added.
'In reality that's a lie. I was absolutely on that trajectory, regardless of whether there was a camera crew around.
'I don't feel any shame about it. I've grown through everything and I am a woman now who deserves Ercan. Back then, I wouldn't have.
'So, I don't feel smug to be married - I feel grateful.'
Before meeting 'the one' in 2019, Vicky had a string of high-profile relationships including with Ricci Guarnaccio, which came to an end alongside a failed engagement in 2013.
While appearing on Ex On The Beach in 2015, Vicky struck up a romance with Steven Bear that lasted just four months.
Vicky was also previously engaged to John Noble, who she dated for two years from 2016 and 2018, but the relationship fell apart before she had a chance to walk down the aisle.
She has also dated TOWIE stars Kirk Norcross and Mario Falcone while she has also been linked to ice hockey player James Morgan.
She had a brief tryst with Spencer Matthews following their stint on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! together, though their romance failed to progress.

Noel Edmonds devastated over horror disease as he makes TV comeback

After leaving the UK, Noel Edmonds has delved into his passion for farming. But despite his experience on his own farm, he's haunted by the foot and mouth disease outbreak in 2001. Noel Edmonds was personally affected by the deadly outbreak of foot and mouth disease back in 2001. He's been the face of Channel 4 's Deal Or No Deal, a fixture on Top Of The Pops and one of the most recognisable names in British television. Now, at the age of 76, Noel Edmonds is embarking on a new adventure – and he's filmed it all for ITV. ‌ The presenter first settled in Auckland, New Zealand 's busiest city, but it wasn't quite the serene escape he had hoped for. Craving stillness, he and his wife Liz eventually bought land in Ngatimoti, at the top of South Island. 'The Tasman region is stunning,' Noel says. 'Nelson is our nearest city, though it feels more like a large town. We're very happy here.' ‌ Essex-born Noel's love of the land stems from childhood and his memories of summers spent in Carlisle with his Aunt Muriel. His enthusiasm later developed into a passion for ethical farming. 'When my career took off and I could afford a nice house, I bought one with 10 acres. I later bought more land, and by the late 70s or early 80s, I'd started farming,' he says. After the devastation of the 2001 foot and mouth disease outbreak in Devon, which paralysed the farming industry, Noel became an advocate for animal welfare. 'It means treating livestock with respect,' Noel says. "One of the core principles of ethical farming is respect for livestock. My passion and determination partly comes from my experience in Devon in 2001, during the foot and mouth disease (FMD) outbreak. That year taught me a lot - especially relevant to recent years with flu outbreaks and government responses to major health issues." Luxury hotel offering Elemis spa treatment with a free £101 beauty gift In Noel Edmonds' Kiwi Adventure, Noel lifts the lid on his life down under in New Zealand. Noel and his wife Liz made the move in 2019, and it was as instinctive as it was life-changing. ‌ 'Our first holiday was to New Zealand, and it was a fantastic trip,' he remembers. 'We stayed in a couple of luxury lodges, but also in B&Bs and farm stays. We began to understand the Kiwi way of life. We returned to the UK thinking this could be our future.' Things rapidly unfolded. The end of Deal Or No Deal – after an extraordinary 3,000 episodes – marked the end of one chapter and the beginning of another for Noel. Looking back, he says, 'It was a punishing schedule but a fabulous period of my life. Without Deal, I wouldn't have met Liz.' Noel and Liz have also launched a hospitality business with a vineyard, pub, restaurant and a supermarket. But for his new show, the focus shifts towards something even more ambitious. ‌ The couple want to create New Zealand's first energy garden – a pioneering project that blends biodiversity, community and sustainability into one regenerative living space. In the series, Noel will tackle hands-on challenges, meet inspirational locals and try to navigate day-to-day life in some seriously wild weather. 'The weather here has an attitude,' Noel says. 'Oh, and earthquakes. We've had three.' But he's made friends for life. 'We've been lucky. We've met some incredible people and they've welcomed us. They're glad we came. We're grateful to be here.'

Blake Lively speaks out on Justin Baldoni's £294m defamation lawsuit dismissal

Blake Lively initially launched a sexual harassment lawsuit against Justin Baldoni - who has strongly refuted the claims - after the pair worked together on It Ends With Us Blake Lively has spoken out for the first time since she was cleared in the $400million (£294million) defamation and extortion lawsuit filed by her It Ends with Us collaborator Justin Baldoni. The actress' powerful statement comes just hours after a judge dismissed Justin's case. Blake, 37, said on Instagram: "Last week, I stood proudly alongside 19 organisations united in defending women's rights to speak up for their safety. ‌ "Like so many others, I've felt the pain of a retaliatory lawsuit, including the manufactured shame that tries to break us. While the suit against me was defeated, so many don't have the resources to fight back." ‌ Blake initially launched a sexual harassment lawsuit against Justin - who has strongly refuted the claims. However, he hit back with the $400million defamation claim against her, her publicist and husband Ryan Reynolds, all of whom have dismissed the accusations. But after the judge chucked out Justin's claims, a source close to the Los Angeles-born actress said: "Today's opinion is a total victory and a complete vindication for Blake Lively, along with those that Justin Baldoni and the Wayfarer Parties dragged into their retaliatory lawsuit." The row happened after Blake and Justin, 41, starred together in It Ends With Us, a romcom released last year. The alleged sexual harassment occurred during production for that film, which Justin directed. But now, speaking after the dismissal, Blake added she was "more resolved than ever to continue to stand for every woman's right to have a voice in protecting themselves, including their safety, their integrity, their dignity and their story". The Gossip Girl actress, who has four children with Ryan Reynolds, "With love and gratitude for the many who stood by me, many of you I know. Many of you I don't. But I will never stop appreciating or advocating for you." Last month, Blake's pal Taylor Swift was dragged into the scandal when she was officially subpoenaed to appear as a witness. The pop star was delivered a legal notice by Justin's lawyer Bryan Freedman - a decision which had been slammed by her team as a tactic to create clickbait. In a move that appeared to please Blake and Taylor, it was confirmed Justin would no longer be calling on the Bad Blood hitmaker to appear as a witness. Bryan Freedman had claimed Blake had called on "her high-profile friends" including Taylor to "manipulate Justin at every turn." Taylor, who is close friends with Blake, licensed her hit song My Tears Ricochet to be used in the film but was not involved in the making of It Ends With Us, said her reps. Justin has denied all allegations brought about by Blake.

'Princess Diana asked when I'd play for England - I knew racists didn't want it'

The legendary former cricketer looks back at some of his most remarkable meetings during his heyday, dealing with racism and the words of Viv Richards which still resonate Rocking and rumbling, as David 'Syd' Lawrence used to describe his bustling persona, the promising fast bowler greeted visiting royalty with his customary genial warmth. Voted Young Cricketer of the Year by a jury of learned scribes, Lawrence collected his gong at the most memorable net practice of his life. 'What made that award extra special was that it was presented to me by the patron of Gloucestershire Cricket Club… the Princess of Wales,' said Lawrence. ' Princess Diana visited the club and had a tour of all the facilities, including watching us have a net. I was only jogging in off a few paces but she still thought I bowled extremely fast. ‌ 'Naturally I was shocked by her sudden death in 1997 and thought back many times to that day she spent with us at Gloucestershire. As a result of her patronage, three people from the club were invited to her funeral at Westminster Abbey, and I was one of those asked to attend. Jack Russell and Andy Stovold were the other two. ‌ 'We were sat directly behind a couple of Americans. One was Dr Henry Kissinger, a former US secretary of state and brilliant political thinker, the other was Ruby Wax, a comedian, actress and writer who often appeared on television throughout the 1980s and 90s. 'She would not shut up! I don't think I've ever heard someone talk as incessantly as she did that day. At one point Jack leaned forward and gently motioned for her to be quiet. She smiled and agreed to do just that, and promptly started talking again. "When I spoke with Diana back in 1986, she did ask me about playing for England and whether it might happen soon. I told her I hoped so, and that if I played at Lord's then I might meet her mother-in-law too. She had a chuckle at that, which I dined out on for a little while.' The prospect of Lawrence going on to play for England was not universally approved among the country's redneck fringes. One heinous scrap of anonymous correspondence through the post advised him 'to go back to the f*****g jungle.' For the first British-born Black player to win Test caps, it was a dark reminder of a nation's swivel-eyed tendency. 'English cricket has long been littered with racists and apologists for racism,' wrote Lawrence in his searing new book, after his shattering diagnosis of motor neurone disease. ‌ 'Back in 1980 I was playing my first game for the Gloucestershire second team and one evening I was in my hotel room when I got a knock at the door. I opened it to find that one of my team-mates had left a banana skin there for me to find. It was a classic racist trope that was used to compare Black people to monkeys. 'I was the butt of the 'joke'. And it hurt. I wish I could tell you that I confronted the person who put it there and had it out with them, but I didn't. I wish I could tell you that I laughed it off, but I didn't. I sat down on my bed and I cried. If this is the way that my own team-mates see me, then what about those I'm playing against? 'I promised myself that would never happen again and that winter I went to the local gym in Bristol, The Empire, where the Commonwealth gold medal weightlifter Precious McKenzie used to train, and worked so hard on transforming my body into one that was not only fit for purpose on the field but one that wouldn't be messed with off it.' ‌ When racist fans bombarded him with Klansman vitriol and bananas in a Sunday League game against Yorkshire at Scarborough 41 years ago, the pond life were lucky 'Syd' didn't wade into the crowd to educate them. Seven years later, at the same venue, it happened again. ‌ 'As the bananas started to appear, Yorkshire physio Wayne Morton dived into the crowd to confront the racists and was hauled out by the police who were trying to keep things calm,' recalled Lawrence. 'A punter managed to get to me by the side of the pitch and confront me. 'Lawrence, you Black b******!' he said. I was ready to swing for him, but Darren Gough managed to intervene just in time.' Lawrence was always grateful for the words of his childhood hero and mentor, Viv Richards, whose lecture after a weekend making the acquaintance of Somerset and Avon police still resonates with him. ‌ 'You are a young Black man, and it will never be easy being a Black man trying to make your way, but you need to be strong. They are waiting for you to f*** up,' warned King Viv. 'They don't want to respect you and they want you to fail. Don't give them the satisfaction of proving them right about you. Use your cricket ability to prove them wrong.' It is an unjustified allocation of ill fortune that one of cricket's greatest characters, who fought back from the graphic disintegration of his knee during a Test match against New Zealand in Wellington 33 years ago, should be cut down by such a savage illness. Lawrence can no longer walk or talk, and at 61 he has planned his own funeral. But for all its darkness, his memoir is a rocking and rumbling good read.
