Vicky Pattison's history of rocky relationships as she gets engaged in Dubai

Congratulations are in order for Vicky Pattison, after boyfriend Ercan Ramadan, 28, popped the question earlier this week.

The former Geordie Shore star, 34, announced her engagement to her partner of three years on Tuesday, giving her Instagram followers a glimpse of the new rock on her finger.

"Choose you and I'll choose you over and over without pause, without a doubt, in a heartbeat... It'll always be you," the reality TV star gushed as she shared her and Ercan's happy news with her followers.

Since becoming a household name in 2011 thanks to her stint on MTV show Geordie Shore, Vicky had to endure more than her fair share of public heartbreak and relationship turmoil - including the break down of two previous engagements.

As the popular TV personality celebrates finding The One in former TOWIE star Ercan, we take a look back at her journey to becoming the future Mrs Ramadan.

Geordie Shore bad boys

As part of the original line up for Geordie Shore in 2011, Vicky's relationships throughout her early twenties would often play out on screen.

After enjoying a brief relationship with fellow co-star Jay Gardner, the Newcastle-born babe went on to have a rocky on-off romance with another co-star, Ricci Guarnaccio.

The former couple's turbulent relationship was often the focus of many Geordie Shore episodes, after Ricci joined the MTV show in season two in 2012.

Despite their blazing rows often occurring during filming, by season three, Ricci proposed to Vicky during a cast trip to Mexico.

The pair never made it down the aisle, and by season five, it was all over - with Ricci asking for his ring back and going on to quit the series.

The former couple reunited on screen once again in 2014, both appearing on the first ever series of another reality TV show, Ex on the Beach.

After splitting from Ricci, Vicky went on to enjoy a six month romance with hockey player James Morgan, before embarking on what she calls "an all-time personal low" - spending the night with Gary 'Gaz' Beadle.

During an infamous episode of Geordie Shore in 2014, Vicky and her long-time co-star enjoyed a flirt in the hot tub, before taking things to the next level for the first time.

"Everyone's gone to bed and it looks like I'm going to bed as well... with Vicky. I never thought I would ever hear the words Gaz, Vicky and shag pad in the same sentence," Gaz recalled on the show.

Vicky appeared to regret the night, saying: "What are you doing you stupid slag! That's f**king Gary!

"I've woken up this morning in bed with Gary, this is an all-time personal low. I can't believe it!"

TOWIE flings

Geordie Shore isn't the only reality TV show to provide Vicky with some beaus over the years.

The newly-engaged star dated TOWIE original Kirk Norcross back in 2013, after he split with Cami Li.

All three stars were reunited in the same house for the third series of Ex on the Beach in 2015, where Kirk professed his love for Vicky.

Things didn't work out for the potential Essex and TOWIE crossover though, with Vicky opting to couple up with another former flame during her time on the show.

In addition to Kirk, Vicky briefly dated another Essex native, Mario Falcone.

The pair attempted to keep their fling secret back in 2016, before Vicky was spotted leaving his house one morning.

But after winning I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! in 2015, the star's career had experienced a boost and she wasn't ready for a relationship at the time, calling Mario "sweet" when discussing their split on Loose Women.

Vicky's single life then saw her look at pursing a potential romance with Made in Chelsea star Spencer Matthews.

The two stars enjoyed a date together but Vicky later said in her autobiography that the pair were incompatible because he couldn’t understand her Geordie accent.

John Noble

Before finding love with Ercan, Vicky took a trip down memory lane and revisited a romance from her youth.

The reality TV star reunited with former flame John Noble, whom she had first dated before she first entered the Geordie Shore house.

The pair always remained friends after the break up, and rekindled their romance years later - moving together in October 2017.

The Newcastle businessman even went on to pop the question but their reunion ended in tears, after John was filmed dancing and flirting with another woman in Dubai.

Vicky shelved their wedding plans - in the middle of filming what should have been a fly-on-wall documentary about their nuptials - and unfollowed him after the footage surfaced.

The resourceful star turned her heartbreak into content, with Vicky Pattison: The Break Up airing on TLC shortly after the split.

Nine months on from her painful break up, the TV beauty found love again and moved in with her now fiancé Ercan.

"To our forever @ercan_ram..." Vicky gushed on Tuesday as she announced her new engagement, proving there is always a happy ending after heartbreak.
