Vicky Pattison says the price of her upcoming dream wedding in sun-soaked Italy has left her 'heartbroken' - after revealing the big day would be costing 'the same price as a house'
Vicky Pattison has admitted that her 'heart breaks' every time she is forced to fork out more dosh for her upcoming wedding, branding her big day 'f*****g expensive'
The Geordie Shore star, 36, is set to tie the knot with fiancé Ercan Ramadan in Italy in September and previously admitted her 'dream day' would cost 'the same price as a house'.
Vicky also slammed the wedding industry claiming prices had increased in a bid to capitalise on people's desire to 'make up for lost time' following COVID lock down.
She told The Mirror: 'So they're f**king expensive. There's no other word for it. So, yeah, I've had to work. Everybody has to work. I'm extremely lucky. Like, I like my job. I'm hardly down the mines, am I?'.
'I've worked hard, but it's for the wedding of my dreams, you know? So I feel really, I feel excited. I do feel somewhat heartbroken every time I say big chunks of money going.'

She also teased how fans would get a glimpse of the preparations in her upcoming E4 documentary Destination Wedding.
Saying: 'You'll see bits of it on the show. There are moments where I'm really excited and, you know, just really invested in the planning element. And then there's times where I'm quite stressed out trying to balance it all. But I think that's also being a woman.'
Speaking to Rock My Wedding, earlier this year Vicky admitted that despite trying to be a little sensible in places, she will be wearing four wedding dresses on the day.
But she has limited certain luxuries and won't be splashing out on the flower installation she had her eye on for their welcome dinner.
Vicky said: 'I knew weddings were a big money business and, like I say, it's not my first rodeo in this space, but everything's just got more and more expensive.
'I was really shocked.'
'I don't want to be paying it off for the next 10 years, or remortgaging my house for a wedding,' she added.
She admitted that at first she thought she was going to have the 'wedding of the century' but the reality quickly set in when she realised the cost, despite having a healthy budget,
She said : 'So they're f**king expensive. There's no other word for it. So, yeah, I've had to work. Everybody has to work. I'm extremely lucky. Like, I like my job. I'm hardly down the mines'

Unfortunately, her wedding planner revealed that what she wanted was impossible with her initial wedding fund.
After hosting 300 guests for their engagement party in London's 14 Hills, Vicky and Ercan decided to officially marry at Marylebone Town Hall with an attendance of 100.
They will then head to Italy for a welcome dinner, wedding ceremony and evening reception, which has attracted 150 guests so far.
Vicky teased that she will be wearing a sixties-inspired gown for her UK wedding and said she loves the short veil and big sunglasses look.
The pair got engaged in the summer of 2019, when Ercan proposed to her on the beach in Dubai.
He popped the question with a stunning emerald-cut solitaire with a diamond band. British jeweller Rox predicted that the piece would cost around £200,000.
Ercan proposed to Vicky in February 2022 during a sunset proposal in Dubai. Vicky previously revealed they are planning a week-long party with 13 bridesmaids and four dress changes
