Vicky Pattison appears to have finally found her prince charming (after a few frogs) and has now opened up about giving her niece a "baby cousin".
The reality star - who has been dating her TOWIE boyfriend Ercan Ramadan for over a year - was on "baby sitting duties" and posted a few adorable photos of herself with her niece Mavie but it was her caption that's left a lot of her followers talking.
Vicky opened up about how she was "really scared" about her future, admitting, "[she worried] that I’d left my plans to start a family a little too late, that I’d focused on my career when I should have been nurturing my personal life instead."
She bravely went on to admit that she feared she "didn’t have what it took to be a mother" because she believed she "lacked that selfless, maternal & gentle side that comes naturally to most women".
However since lockdown began she's changed her mindset and discovered that she "didn’t appreciate what was right in front of me".
The former Geordie Shore star then went on to discuss the people in her life and even hinted that she could have her own baby soon.
"Right now, I have a lovely boyfriend, a wonderful family & a job I love. I am happy being the cool aunt to baby Mavie & maybe someday I’ll give her a baby cousin to play with too - but I’m done rushing and pushing myself into something I’m not entirely ready for.
"What will be, will be. Remember that no matter when you fall in love, it is beautiful, whatever age you have a child it is still a blessing & finding your true calling later in life makes it no less of an achievement," she wrote on Instagram.
