Vicky Patinson joked husband wants her off Strictly Come Dancing
Vicky Pattison has joked her husband wants her to be voted off Strictly Come Dancing because she's too tired for "doing the mattress mambo" after rehearsals.
Vicky Pattison has joked her husband wants her to be voted off Strictly Come Dancing because she's too tired for sex.
The 37-year-old reality star admitted training with partner Kai Widdrington amid her other working commitments have left her "so exhausted" so she's relying on Ercan Ramadan to be "patient" with her because she doesn't feel like intimacy.
She said: "We've been together for nearly ten years and we have a really healthy relationship in every aspect. But it's just so hard.
"You're so exhausted, you're training for many hours a day. I'm still working outside of this. I'm podcasting, doing all my social bits, I have just launched a clothing collection. Things are full on.
"So after a full day doing the Charleston you don't fancy going home and doing the mattress Mambo.
"[Ercan's] having to be a little bit patient with us at the minute. I think he's potentially one of the only people in my inner circle, who's hoping I'm getting booted out."
Vicky also admitted 32-year-old Ercan is currently "in the dog house" because he has gone away without her and she's finding it hard having to go home to a "cold, dark empty house".
She said: "Obviously I love my husband, he’s wicked, but he’s in the dog house at the moment. We had a trip booked to go visit his family and then I got Strictly so I told him to go without me, but it’s been really hard coming home to a cold, dark, empty house.
"The dogs aren’t even there because I’m working 14-hours a day. You need some normality when you are out of your comfort zone, scared, lonely, working hard. It’s been really hard without him but he’s back now.
"He’s my number one supporter, I am really lucky but he is probably hoping he gets sex soon."
While Vicky is already a fan favourite on Strictly, she still feels out of her depth but is thankful the other contestants have been so supportive.
She said: "I feel so out of my depth I could cry just thinking about it. I never expected to be this scared all the time. It’s exhausting.
"I’m hoping at some point the penny drops and I think: 'I’m on Strictly, isn’t this really fun?' but at the minute I’m just living in habitual fear.
“Pete Wicks is constantly checking in on me and trying to wrap me in cotton wool. The other contestants have been great too, Kaz Carney will come to my dressing room and I’ll have a little cry, Chris Robshaw is always giving me a big brother type bear hug every time I see him.
"Jonathan King is always holding my hand and George Clarke texts me every day to make sure I’m ok. I could probably do with meditating or breath-work but it’s actually the people on the show who are getting me through this."
