Vicky Pattison shows off her gorgeous curves in a purple patterned bikini as she poses up a storm during spa getaway

Vicky Pattison showed off her gorgeous curves in a bikini as she posed up a storm by a hot tub this weekend.

The former Geordie Shore star, 38, had been enjoying some time at Serenity Spa at Seaham Hall just outside of Newcastle with her husband Ercan Ramadan.

She looked stunning in the purple patterned two piece as she sat by the side of the water and enjoyed some downtime.

Vicky explained in her caption that she was on a mission to show Ercan more of the area where she is from as she hopes to move back there from London one day when they have kids. 

She penned in the caption of her post: 'Newcastle Diaries... I've been down in London for about 12 years now.. and whereas I love this little life we've created here, the friends I've made, my wonderful job, erc's lush family... 

'I miss my home town so much! ♥️ I don't know if it's because we're trying to grow our family.. and the thought of not having my mam and sister close by as a first time mam is daunting or if it's just because I'm genuinely a bit homesick.'

'We filmed escape to the country in the summer... (no spoilers I promise.. but it was fab! And it's out at Christmas!!) anyway, since then I've been on a mission to make Ercan fall in love with the north east.

'So last weekend I tried to show him so much of our gorgeous region... spent a day at @serenityspa.seahamhall, a day eating everything in sight at @stacknewcastle and generally just showed him that there's so much more to my wonderful little pocket of the country than @greggs_official (not that I don't LOVE a pasty mind).

'Operation MAKE ERCAN FALL IN LOVE WITH THE TOON IS A GO.'

The post comes after last month Vicky revealed she sought a diagnosis for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) before starting her journey to become a mother. 

The television personality said she feared being in her late thirties and trying for a baby could be a 'catalyst' for her and worried how she would manage unmedicated.

Vicky announced in June earlier this year she had been diagnosed with  the neurodevelopmental condition. 

ADHD is characterised by persistent patterns of inattention, hyperactivity and impulsivity that start in childhood and often continue into adulthood. 

In a new interview with Women's Health, Vicky said: 'It's not important for me to have the label – I know myself. 

'But I'm aware there's been a lot of studies and personal experiences being shared about women rawdogging things such as autism and ADHD until they're in their forties, and then they unravel.

'I'm in my late thirties and about to embark on a journey to motherhood. I fear those will both be catalysts for me not being able to manage my ADHD any more in an unmedicated way.'

Vicky showed off her toned figure in the accompanying cover shoot and said her fitness regime has been transformed, with the goal of being the healthiest she's been as she tries for a baby. 

The star has been open with her fans about her fertility journey, and has been candidly documenting the process of freezing her eggs, which she started when she was 35.

She said she wanted to take control of her fertility, and had the treatment which resulted in three embryos being frozen.

On her show, Vicky Pattison: Maybe, Baby? she confirmed that she and her husband Ercan Ramadan would 'love to be parents'.

She said of what ultimately made her come to that decision: 'What I realised slowly is that it's a huge sacrifice and a huge commitment. 

'But it's also one that's worth doing if you think you want to be a mum. That [feeling] just grew, and it got to the point where I was making the show and some days I'd wake up crying, because I didn't have a baby. That's how I knew this is the route I want to take.

'I hope with all my heart that our journey [to parenthood] is a straightforward one – but if it's not, we have a backup plan. I've always said Ercan was the best decision I ever made.

'But the next best decision was to freeze my eggs. I look forward to the day when it's more affordable and readily available to all women.' 

Vicky added: 'But we can't recommend it enough to anyone who's found happiness later in life, who hasn't found the man of their dreams, who has a question mark over it, if you're in a position to.'
