Vicky Pattison has spoken openly about why she has decided not to have any children yet.
The former Geordie Shore star and I’m a Celeb champ, 34, who’s in a long-term relationship with Ercan Ramadan, opened up about her decision in a Channel 4 show.
She frankly revealed that she feared alcoholism was “genetic”, which led her to believe her future kids would be “powerless”, “out of control” and “broken”.

In an interview with Sky’s Beth Rigby, Vicky said: “My main motivation for making this documentary was that I had a strong belief that there was a huge element of alcoholism that was completely genetic.”
Vicky has been working on a tell-all documentary where she delves profoundly into her father’s alcoholism and her own relationship with alcohol abuse.

She added: “That because my dad had it in him, I was just going to have it in me and I truly believed my kids would have it too and I didn’t want them to feel different to everyone else, to feel out of control, to feel powerless to stop something.
“Like their life was only going to be one way – it was going to be hard and sad and they were going to hurt people they loved.
“So that’s a huge reason why I haven’t had children yet.”

Vicky spoke openly about her addictive personality and described the impact her addiction has had in further detail.
She confessed: “I do everything to extremes. If I’m going to go to the gym, I’m going to go five times a week. If I’m going to party, I want to be the last one standing. There was never any balance.
“So I convinced myself it was a forgone conclusion that I was going to end up like my dad, and it led us down some real self-sabotaging paths at times.”
Vicky Pattison: My Dad, Alcohol and Me will air on Channel 4 at 10 PM on August 2.
