Who is Vicky Pattison's husband Ercan Ramadan as The Honesty Box begins
Vicky Pattison's new TV show, The Honesty Box, starts tonight on E4, as the former Geordie Shore star admitted the series put pause to her having a honeymoon of her own
Vicky Pattison's new dating show is set to get under way tonight (Monday, April 28) as contestants are taken to a sunny and romantic place dubbed Truetopia. The former Geordie Shore star, 37, and Married At First Sight (MAFS) Australia star Lucinda Light will front the new E4 show where honesty is at its heart.
The Honesty Box will see singletons try to win £100,000 and be faced with an artificial intelligence (AI) software, which can spot whether they are telling the truth or not. Vicky previously admitted it will "really will put the 'true' in 'true love'" as she opened up about the task contestants will face.
It comes not long after Vicky herself declared her love as she tied the knot with Ercan Ramadan. The duo married in August last year. They got hitched at Marylebone Town Hall before heading to Italy for a bigger ceremony in September. However, their wedded bliss was cut short when Vicky jetted straight off to Cyprus to film her new show.
But who is Ercan?
Ercan, 31, previously had his own stint on reality TV, featuring in TOWIE in 2016 for series 19. His first appearance on the show came in the summer special titled The Only Way is Marbs.
Away from his time on the small screen, Ercan made a living as a labourer and builder. He is now a company director, particularly associated with Endrick Clothing, where he is a co-founder and CEO.
Ercan proposed to Vicky in February 2022. At the time, Vicky announced their engagement on social media. She said: "I choose you and I'll choose you over and over without pause, without a doubt, in a heartbeat... It'll always be you. To our forever @ercan_ram."
She also shared an image of her ring, with the caption: "I do…" She added: "Sorry guys, I don't want to bore anyone with engagement spam... but I'm just not over this beautiful moment, my beautiful man or this beautiful ring... Thank you all for your incredibly kind messages... We're on cloud 9."
The occasion took place in Dubai. Things were almost so different, though, nearer the start of their relationship. The duo quickly moved in together in 2019 after just eight months of dating.
However, in 2020, they split briefly. At the time, they said they had stopped "making each other happy". They decided to give it another go, though, with Vicky praising their couples therapy sessions.
More recently, Vicky admitted the duo sleep in separate beds. She made the revelation while speaking to OK!
She said: "Everyone thought we'd try for kids quite quickly – so did we! But we're going to enjoy being married, for at least a year.
"I'd love a honeymoon first! A little week in the Caribbean would be lovely. We're just desperate to sleep in the same bed together. I sleep with the dogs [they have two] and he sleeps in the spare room!'

Hollyoaks confirms who killed Dennis Savage - and it wasn't Clare or Banks
Hollyoaks spoilers follow for Tuesday's (June 10) episode that is now available to view on Channel 4 streaming. The episode in question will air on E4 on at 7pm. An unexpected twist in the tale of who killed Dennis Savage (Joe Tracini) has confirmed that the murderer is none other than – drum roll please – Jez Blake (Jeremy Sheffield). Dennis, who was a fan-favourite, featured on-screen between 2011 and 2014, with a brief comeback 2018. However, according to Dodger Savage (Danny Mac), who staged a comeback earlier this year after a decade, Dennis was killed after he was injured in a hit-and run, with Rex Gallagher (Jonny Labey) driving the car in question. Though he is believed to have survived the incident, Dennis subsequently went missing, with Dodger believing that DI Banks (Drew Cain) and wife Clare Devine (Gemma Bissix) were to blame for his murder. The criminal power couple, as fans know, adopted Tori (Harriet O'Shea), who was previously in the care of Dennis. To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Feeling some semblance of guilt for her role in the trafficking operation, Grace Black (Tamara Wall) opted to give Tori back to the Blakes. Tori's arrival at the flat put Jez on edge, particularly because of the USB file containing recordings of his therapy sessions with Tommy Odenkirk (Brandon Fellows). It subsequently came to light that the reason for his caginess was due to the fact that he killed Dennis – which was confirmed via a close-up of the book he keeps track of his victims in, with a picture of Dennis included. Liberty (Jessamy Stoddart), meanwhile, was suspicious of Jez's behaviour and thus started to investigate, getting dangerously close to the truth. Jez, however, covered his tracks by claiming that – on the therapy recordings – he confessed his true love for Lib. More Trending Taken aback, Lib was in shock, but passion soon followed, with her and Jez sleeping together. The Blake family dynasty continues to get even more complicated!

EXCLUSIVE MAFS bride Rhi Disljenkovic slams cruel pregnancy speculation after Jamie Marinos was forced to shut down baby rumours: 'It actually hurts'
Married At First Sight bride Rhi Disljenkovic has hit back at hurtful pregnancy rumours after fans began questioning her appearance in recent photos. The 35-year-old fitness blogger says she was left feeling 'disappointed' and 'self-conscious' after seeing online chatter suggesting she might be expecting. 'Honestly, it's disappointing,' Rhi told Daily Mail Australia on Tuesday. 'I put on a bit of weight during and after the experiment and I was already feeling self-conscious about it. So when people start speculating or comment like that, it doesn't just roll off your back... it actually hurts.' The brunette, known for her bubbly personality, said it's frustrating that women are constantly expected to justify any physical changes. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. 'There's this weird expectation that women have to explain any changes to their body - and the second we're not shredded or photographed well, people jump to conclusions like pregnancy,' she said. 'You never know what someone's going through, and even if someone was pregnant, it's such a personal thing.' 'It's not gossip - it's hurtful, and it can affect someone's mental health,' she said. 'We've got to do better.' It comes just days after her co-star Jamie Marinos was forced to shut down similar rumours. Jamie, 29, was photographed at a recent event in Melbourne wearing a form-fitting outfit, which prompted online speculation about a supposed baby bump. She later took to Instagram to address the rumours, stating firmly that she was not pregnant and reminding fans that certain angles and lighting can be misleading. Marinos sparked baby rumours over the weekend after appearing in a gallery of snaps from Voir Vodka dinner at Bar Bambi in Melbourne, which she attended alongside her co-stars Eliot Donovan and Teejay Halkias. The images, shared by @mafsgossip, included a shot of Jamie posing with Eliot - who she has been romantically linked to in recent months - wearing a sleek all-black outfit which seemed to hint at a small bump. 'Is it me or does Jaime look like she's got a bump?' one fan commented, while another added, 'Just don't know if it's a baby bump or photoshopped to look like it. But 100% it's a bump!' But Jamie wasted no time shutting down the speculation, jumping into the comments to address the chatter directly. 'I'm going to blame the lighting on that, because it does and I can assure you there's no bump,' she wrote, adding a laughing emoji. In another cheeky comment, the blonde beauty joked, 'Why am I excited now for a non-existent baby?' before confirming the 'countless' vodkas she consumed that night were proof enough she wasn't expecting. The MAFS star later doubled down, taking to her Instagram Stories to share the same photo and write: 'What in the optical illusion is this? I look like I have a baby bump.' She added: 'How funny would it be if at an event for an alcohol brand I announce a pregnancy, except it wouldn't be funny because I'd be pissed the f**k off that I'm sober.' Since the show wrapped in April, Jamie and Eliot have emerged as two of the most-followed cast members, regularly sparking dating rumours with their flirty comments, TikTok videos and joint appearances at events. Despite their undeniable chemistry, Jamie previously clarified their relationship during a Q&A with fans, insisting: 'We are really good friends. 'He's been such a great support system, always makes me laugh and I'm super grateful to have him around.' She added: 'We are both single, and focusing on ourselves at the moment – but who knows what the future holds.' Speaking to Daily Mail Australia, Jamie and Eliot echoed that sentiment, saying they've struck up an 'unlikely friendship' post-show and are simply 'taking each day as it comes'. The pair first sparked romance rumours after attending Daily Mail Australia's reunion party in April. 'Jamie is an absolute babe and I would be very lucky to be in a romantic relationship with her... but at this point in time, we are just close friends,' he told 9Entertainment. 'I'm not in any kind of position to be navigating a romantic relationship but I wouldn't rule anything out. I am absolutely loving going on this journey with Jamie by my side.' Eliot spoke highly of his relationship with Jamie and said their friendship had grown since meeting during filming last year.

The bubbly TV bride was spotted out and about in Melbourne on Monday looking loved-up as she held hands with her millionaire fiancé Hayden Burbank during a casual grocery run Elsewhere, her fiancé opted for a preppy off-duty look in a Ralph Lauren knit sweater which he teamed up with a pair of black tracksuit pants and white sneakers. The loved-up duo appeared relaxed and smitten, with Belinda smiling shyly as they crossed the road hand-in-hand. Belinda tells Daily Mail Australia that the couple haven't yet locked in a date for their upcoming nuptials but are planning to walk down the aisle sometime next year. The couple celebrated their engagement at a lavish party in Melbourne back in April. The couple shared a series of photos to social media as they danced and posed with friends and family at the private party. Guests were treated to an array of cocktails while violinists played music at the lavish home. The couple announced their engagement back in February last year, telling Daily Mail Australia that Hayden's unique Valentine's Day proposal included a treasure hunt at the Botanical Gardens. Hayden, who is the former owner of swanky Melbourne hotspot Morris Jones, added his proposal caught the attention of the public, who burst into applause after Belinda said yes and accepted his dazzling engagement ring. Belinda tells Daily Mail Australia that the couple haven't yet locked in a date for their upcoming nuptials but are planning to walk down the aisle sometime next year 'It was always yes. It was 12 months after MAFS that we met and it really led me to him and opened up new people for me meet,' Belinda said. The pair met in Melbourne through mutual friends in 2022. In 2021, Hayden was jailed for three months after breaking Covid rules during the height of the pandemic. He hopped the border into the Northern Territory before travelling to Western Australia to watch Melbourne Demons win at Perth Stadium. To dodge WA's strict border rules at the time, he falsified a rental agreement at a Darwin address while also fraudulently obtaining NT drivers' licences. Their relationship blossomed after the bar owner spent 90 days behind bars at WA's maximum security Hakea prison, which earned him the jailhouse nickname of 'border breacher'. Hayden described his experience at one of Australia's toughest jails as 'the ultimate game of Survivor'. She and her on-screen husband Patrick Dwyer were deemed the 'golden couple' of the series but split up after nine months 'You have to form alliances and not do anything stupid and get through each day by day,' he told the Saturday Herald Sun in March 2022. 'They are the longest days of your life. I'm not built for jail. Nobody is built for jail.' Hayden added he shared a cell with one of the prison's top dogs, a bikie, who would wake him up each morning and taunt: 'Border breacher, border breacher'. Belinda found fame on season eight of Married At First Sight, which aired in 2021. She and her on-screen husband Patrick Dwyer were deemed the 'golden couple' of the series but split up after nine months.
