REALITYREA telly star turned author Vicky PattisonPa­tt is finally with her Mr Right – afteraf writing about finding love and romance.

Th The former I’m a Celebrity... winner anno announced her engagement to “the one”, busin businessma­n John Noble, last week.

Vi Vicky, 29, first met John as a 21-year-old and they had a six-month romance but parted wh when her TV career began to take off.

Reuniting with John, also 29, ends a turb turbulent period for Vicky, and echoes the plot of her recently-penned romantic novel My S Sister’s Wedding.

Sh She said: “I wanted a love story and I got it. I wrote a book all about love and happy endi endings, which I think I’ve got.

“E “Essentiall­y it is a love story, which is where I wa wanted my life to go when I wrote it and now I’m w with John. “I “It’s like I predicted the future. “I do believe in ‘Ask and you shall receive’. And I do believe that negative minds won’t attra attract a positive life.

“M“Maybe I did want all these things and was re ready for a relationsh­ip with a lovely man so ma maybe visualisin­g it and writing it down did help to bring me love.”

And referring to the heartthrob actor starring in summer blockbuste­r Dunkirk, she joked: “I already write down my goals but I didn’t realise I needed to publish them for them to come true. My next book might be about me marrying Tom Hardy.”

Newcastle-born Vicky has previously told how she was “resigned to being alone” after enduring a difficult love life.

She had a broken engagement to her former Geordie Shore co-star Ricci Guarnaccio, a bitter break-up with Ex On The Beach’s Stephen Bear and a brief fling with Made In Chelsea’s Spencer Matthews.

She said: “Last year my personal life, profession­al career, fitness and love life were all over the place. This year I’m focussing on balance and positivity.”

eR again last year after meeting on a train.

John is a businessma­n involved in a clothing company based in their native city.

Despite her positivity, Vicky admitted she found it hard meeting some of his friends.

She said: “I like coming in from a night out saying, ‘We are never seeing them again’.

Comfortabl­e

“I’ve never really been in a long, stable loving relationsh­ip before where I’ve had to be mindful of their life and forge your own relationsh­ips with people in their life.

“So it’s quite hard being brought into someone’s life completely and everything that goes along with them.

“He’sHe s the same as me tho though. He’s meeting some celebrity type friends and thinking, ‘Who the f*** are these people?’ people?’.

“So we are both finding it hard but we are doing our best to fit into ea each other’s lives.

“I’m really content at the m moment and I think that is mainly down to John b but also being more comforta comfortabl­e with where I am in life.”

The couple will tie the knot on Vicky’s grandparen­ts’paren wedding anniversar­yversa next July.
