LOOSE Women have slammed Vicky Pattison for letting her dogs lick inside of her mouth, insisting “something must have gone wrong in her childhood”.
Vicky, 37, and her husband Ercan Ramadan are dog parents to their beloved pooches Max and Milo and she often posts adorable pictures of them on her Instagram.

As well as this, the former Geordie Shore star also works with animal charities and posts about rescue dogs that need to be re-homed.
However, the dog lover was at the mercy of the Loose Women today after her bad habit was previously revealed.
On Bank Holiday Monday’s instalment, Christine Lampard, GK Barry, Sue Cleaver and Nadia Sawalha spoke about whether they would kiss their dogs on the lips or not.
Talk soon turned to Vicky, who is all set to star on Strictly Come Dancing, as former Coronation Street star Sue said: “I would like to speak to Vicky and find out why she opens her mouth?”
GK Barry, who has filmed a pilot with her I’m A Celebrity co-star, added: “I think the mouth is a step too far.”
Sue remarked: “There’s something really gone wrong in her childhood I think,” as the audience and her co-stars erupted into laughter.
Attempting to rescue the conversation, Christine jumped in and added: “Clearly Vicky adores her dogs, let’s just be clear about that. It’s a very, very spoilt doggy.”
She continued: “Apparently there are some positives to letting your dog kiss you, researchers in The Netherlands have found that canine saliva has healing properties.”
Vicky is yet to respond to the comments made about her on today’s episode of the ITV daytime programme that she used to appear as a panellist on.
The comments come after she posted a reel on her Instagram, in collaboration with the dog food brand Butternut Box, of her labrador Max licking the inside of her mouth
She was seen sitting outside on top of a bench with a friend by a field, as Max came over and started licking her face.
“I can’t help it,” Vicky said. “You are Gammy,” the friend replied when Vicky opened her mouth wider for the dog to “kiss”.
“I’m so sorry,” Vicky replied, placing both of her hands over her mouth.
“The things is, I do that too,” the friend said, prompting an excited squeal of approval and a loud “YES!” from Vicky.
“And like, you know it makes them happy,” Vicky agreed, going back in for another smooch.
However, fans were immediately turned off by the gesture and flocked to the comments section to share their thoughts.
“I love my dogs more than anything but after seeing them licking their bits I couldn’t,” one commenter said.
“Great to see you love your dog Vicky but dogs can carry a bacteria that can give you sepsis and other infections,” replied another, taking a more scientific angle.
Though a surprising amount of people under the post either just laughed or admitted that they do exactly the same thing.
“When your pup is a little bit French,” a fan harmlessly mocked.
“Yes! I do this too”, and “I put food on my lips so he licks it off”, shared two others.
Vicky and Ercan, 31, welcomed Max into their lives back in 2022 and took to Instagram to share pictures of their pet pooch, who was a puppy when they first got him.
She revealed: “On Christmas Eve morning, Ercan and I set off to expand our little family but also spoil all the precious babies who are spending Christmas there.”
After meeting a number of special dogs, Vicky revealed that she and Ercan had “fallen in love” with puppy Max.
The two were chuffed to be giving the sweet dog his forever home and shared a photo of Max meeting Milo for the first time.
Vicky wrote: “Photo of my babies together, look how proud Max looks to be coming home.”
