‘I almost didn’t go on this date, I wasn’t in the best place and wasn’t sure if it was right to be dating again when I didn’t feel fully healed. But there was something special about Ercan… So I went. 

‘And we chatted and laughed and had the BEST first date ever, it was like we’d known each other years..  But it was more than just getting on with each other and fancying him (ALOT).. there was a kindness to erc aswell, I felt very safe. 

‘Anyway, I remember he went to the toilet and I messaged all my pals in the group chat and said ‘lasses, he’s the one. Buy a f**king hat!’ ✨

‘And here we are, nearly 6 years later… I knew @erc_ram, from the very first date, I just knew I’d be your wife. See you at the altar today petal… I’ll be the one in white.’

Vicky’s message was met with a plethora of supportive messages from fans, with many wishing her the best of luck for the big day.

It comes after Vicky took to Instagram on Friday to admit she felt ‘depressed’ and ‘anxious’ – just hours before her wedding.

Vicky told how her premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PDD), which gives women more severe symptoms of premenstrual disorder (PMS), is affecting the run-up to her special day.

She shared photos of herself in her underwear looking bloated as well as heartbreaking selfies of herself crying. 

Vicky wrote a lengthy caption with the post, and it began: ‘PMDD and life’s significant moments..’

She continued: ‘This most won’t make sense to a lot of people, to some it may seem dramatic, & if this doesn’t resonate with you at all, that’s ok.. you can keep scrolling. Because this post is not for everyone.

‘One in 20 women suffer with PMDD. However the actual figure is believed to be so much higher due to women being misdiagnosed, ignored & gaslight into thinking they’re hysterical. 

‘So if you are one of that one in 20, or if for a week to 10 days of the month, that luteal phase before your period, you simply don’t recognise yourself- then this post is for you. 

‘Believe me, in the week before my wedding I didn’t want to be this person… you imagine being excited & happy, having little dickie birds pop your dress on for you… instead I’ve been depressed, anxious & self critical filled with feminine rage, hopelessness & exhaustion. 

‘That’s what PMDD does. PMDD is like building a sand castle of good habits, positive moods, & a loving personality then watching it all get swept away to leave depression, anger, hopefulness, & anxiety in its wake. The wave recedes. You begin to rebuild, just as a new wave crashes.

‘And you know the REALLY annoying thing? Is just as your period ALWAYS seems to fall when you’re going on holiday.. that spicy PMDD week always manages to be when you have something significant going on, something where you could really do with being your bright, shiny, BRILLIANT self.. rather than this anxious, suicidal little shell of a woman

‘We can’t control when that wave crashes.

‘I’ve had messages from women saying that PMDD has robbed them of loads of things.. it’s shown up on birthdays, graduations, job interviews, it’s stopped them being the mother they wanted to be a lot of the time, it’s made relationships strained, it’s stolen moments that should have been happy.

‘I wish there was a super upbeat conclusion to this post, that I was going to end it by saying ‘but I’ve found this pill & now I’m feeling great’ but there isn’t, instead , I’m just going to say that to anyone suffering- I see you, I get it and I am sorry.

‘But you know, as powerful as those thoughts & hormones can be.

Vicky continued in the comments: ‘But you know, as powerful as those emotions and hormones can be.. I’m adamant they aren’t going to take this moment from me. I might be slight more prickly of a bride than I was intending.. think less Cinderella and more Ursula the sea witch.. but so what?!

‘That floaty old hag deserves her happily too! I mean, maybe she was just misunderstood anyway 

‘MAYBE SHE HAD PMDD??? (That would actually explain ALOT!) What has helped me tremendously through this journey is getting my friends and family to understand and know what I’m going through. 

‘So if you’re struggling with PMDD and fear the person it makes you, you’re scared of people not understanding.. help them understand- explain what you’re feeling, how scary it is. 

‘And even if these significant moments don’t look exactly how you imagined them or wanted them.. with people by your side, who love, support and are trying to understand.. things just are a little bit easier. Love you all.’ 

Before Ercan, Vicky was previously engaged to John Noble [pictured], but she was left devastated after learning he cheated on her just weeks before their wedding 

Before Ercan, Vicky was previously engaged to John Noble, but she was left devastated after learning he cheated on her just weeks before their wedding.

John, who proposed to Vicky in July 2017, was filmed at Dubai nightclub Billionaire Mansion getting close to a blonde woman identified as part-time model Poppy Owen, as well as two other unidentified ladies. 

At the time of the scandal, Vicky had already bought her dream wedding dress and organised the venue. She was also filming a documentary about the nuptials.

John’s proposal was Vicky’s second, after her Geordie Shore co-star Ricci Guarnaccio proposed to her during a Cancun MTV special in 2012.
