Vicky Pattison unmasks catfish who's been using boyfriend Ercan's snaps to get women

Vicky Pattison has savagely unmasked a catfish masquerading as her boyfriend, Ercan Ramadan, on a dating app.

The former Geordie Shore star, 33, uncovered the "sly" social media user, who has been using hunky Ercan's snaps in order to chat to women online, in a hilarious post shared to her Instagram page on Friday.

The reality TV personality posted screenshots of the photos of Ercan used by the fake person - who dubbed themself Gary and claimed he was a 33-year-old electrician - and posted a lengthy caption explaining how she and Ercan are "flattered".

Vicky began: "It was brought to our attention last night that someone has been using @ercan_ram ’s pics to catfish people on tinder... I mean firstly can I just say we’re flattered, I’ve always known he was a lovely bit of kit so people coveting his visage is not really a shock to me."

She then shared: "Secondly, FYI ladies, gents or any interested parties- this is unfortunately not the real deal.. I have finally found myself a lovely, faithful man thank the LORD.. So I’m sorry if you have been entertaining this person on the hopes of one day meeting this stud.

"I know it must be a bag of s***e trying to meet someone during the panny d- so please don’t waste anymore time on this butthole."

Poking holes at the catfish's choice of moniker, she teased: "And finally, Gary? Just brilliant... a nice traditional Turkish Cypriot name...I hope you all have lovely weekends... Except you Gaz.. you sly old dog you."

Vicky has been dating ex-TOWIE star Ercan since 2018.

The genetically blessed couple celebrated their second anniversary in December.

In 2020, Vicky gushed about enjoying every moment of her relationship and even teased that marriage and kids might happen in the future.

"I'm enjoying what I've got with Ercan and that's a very loving and serious relationship. But no, no wedding bells, no pitter patter of tiny feet. None of that yet!” Vicky told Instagram followers.
