Vicky Pattison has revealed she went to therapy with her fiancé Ercan Ramadan as they "weren't making each other that happy".
The 35 year old former Geordie Shore star, 35, who recently celebrated her four year anniversary with Ercan, 28, candidly admitted that they struggled to adapt after lockdown.
The couple moved into their £1.5million Essex home and adopted a puppy, which added pressure to their relationship.
"The world was open. We had this house to pay for and this dog to train. We both went back to work and we just really struggled," Vicky told The Sun.
"We weren't making each other that happy. And that is what I consider a good relationship to be, that you make each other better.
"But we spoke to someone and we found it super-beneficial. I am a huge advocate for therapy in any form. Whatever it is that helps you work through stuff."
It comes after Vicky, who recently welcomed a second pooch to the family, detailed her egg-freezing process after initially finding it difficult to talk about.
She told fans: "Ercan and I took our first proper steps to hopefully adding to our family in the future…
"I haven't posted about this as I haven't really known what to say and stupidly every time I do start typing about it, I cry- and I really haven't needed more of a reason to be tearful recently with my bloody period still making me seem completely emotionally unstable.
"Anyway, I just wanted to say a big Thankyou to the amazing team at @londonwomensclinic who were so kind, understanding and just lovely to us as we were pretty nervous and emotional.'
"We each had a series of scans and tests- I've got to be honest, it was a sight to behold watching a toddle off clutching his little cup for his 'sample'."
She continued: "And luckily we're all healthy and in a good position to prepare for the egg retrieval process in the new year! Then if everything goes to plan we'll make our gorgeous little embryos and our frozen family will be there waiting for us When we do decide to start that next chapter of lives.
She added: "I want women to be aware that there is more than one route to motherhood and happiness- but we have to understand more about our OWN bodies first and I think there's a real lack of honest information out there- and we also have to understand that every woman's experience with having children or trying to have children is different.
"In the new year I will be doing my best to share every step of this process with you- chronicling the highs and the lows of our embryo freezing process- just to give those ladies out there thinking about doing it an accurate understanding of how it can look! It will be shared on the show," Vicky added.
"In the interim, I know the process itself, the injections, the hormones, everything although slightly different for everyone, can be tough so any advice any who's been there can give me is super welcome."
Vicky first began dating builder Ercan, who previously appeared on TOWIE, January 2019 following her split from ex fiancé John Noble.
The pair got engaged in February 2022 whilst on holiday in Dubai, with Vicky later admitting "she always knew" she'd marry Ercan.
