Vicky Pattison announces she’s engaged to John Noble following a ‘surprise proposal’
VICKY Pattison has revealed she is engaged to John Noble.
Announcing the shock proposal, the former Geordie Shore star says she burst into tears the moment John got down on one knee with a stunning 3.6-carat marquise-cut diamond ring.
Telling all to OK! magazine, Vicky said: “I was spending a few days at John’s house, which is just outside Newcastle and surrounded by lovely countryside. One morning he suggested we take his dog Roxie out for a walk.
“After a while we stopped for a sit down on a bench overlooking some lovely scenery. I was playing with Roxie when she shook her head and got slobber all over my face. When I wiped it away, John was in front of me on one knee.
“I couldn’t believe it, I burst into tears. I said yes and then I looked at the ring and I was blown away, it was amazing.”
However it wasn’t plain sailing as the 29-year-old star was convinced John was about to break up with her.
She explained: “In the days leading up to the proposal I was convinced that he was about to break up with me!
“We’d had a difficult few weeks because I had been really busy with work and couldn’t make it to see him.
“I was hoping he would come to see me [in Essex] but he kept saying he had too much on. It was so out of character for him that I started panicking, thinking he was going to finish things with me. I was crying to all my friends all the time and arguing with him on the phone because I was so sure he didn’t want to be with me anymore.
“It’s weird, because the day before he proposed I was on Lorraine and she said live on air that he’d better ask me to marry him soon!”

As for dresses, Vicky says the only way is royal...
“I like high necks and low backs. I loved the wedding dresses that the Duchess of Cambridge and Pippa Matthews wore, so I think I’ll use those as inspiration.”
Clearly always destined to be, Vicky and businessman John, 29, met at a house party in Newcastle eight years ago and dated for six months, however the pair split when Vicky was offered the job that propelled her to fame on Geordie Shore.
Last year after years of no contact they bumped into one another on a train, and Vicky was then linked with him in November while filming I’m a Celebrity Extra Camp in Australia.
Dismissing those who think their engagement comes too soon, she says: “It might seem soon to some people, but John and I have spent years struggling to find true love.
“Now we’ve found it, there’s no point waiting around.”
Vicky’s past relationships include an engagement to her former Geordie Shore co-star Ricci Guarnaccio and short-lived romances with Made In Chelsea’s Spencer Matthews and CBB winner Stephen Bear.
