Vick Hope has confirmed that she and her husband Calvin Harris are preparing to welcome their first child together – two years after the couple tied the knot – and explained why she didn’t want to officially announce it

Broadcaster Vick Hope and DJ Calvin Harris are going to have a baby! After a few weeks of dropping heavy hints online – including sharing snaps from a recent baby shower – Countryfile presenter Vick has finally confirmed her pregnancy.

The pregnant star and producer Calvin often keep their relationship low-key but have let slip minor details in the past, including their Glastonbury themed wedding back in September 2023.

Now, Vick has announced that she and the music legend are to become parents for the first time. Speaking live on Radio 1 this afternoon, Vick, 35, confirmed her happy news and spoke about her pregnancy for the first time.

The mum-to-be, who co-hosts the stations drivetime show with with Katie Thistleton and Jamie Laing, told listeners: “I should say that this is my final week. I wanted to share that with you because we’ve had such a lovely time over the last few weeks. That time is coming to an end for a bit because I’m going on maternity leave next week.”

Former Made In Chelsea star Jamie piped in with: “You’re an amazing friend, an amazing person, and you’re just going to be an amazing mum.” Vick then went on to share why she hasn’t formally announced she is expecting a baby.

She explained: “This is not an announcement, by the way. People keep saying are you going to announce, are you going to announce? And I’m like, I’m not the King. I do not see the point, it’s not for me. I’ll be honest, I struggle with anything that’s personal or private.

“I will tell you a story about eating a kebab out of a bin, that’s one thing. But there’s a line and so I’ve never been that big on sharing. Particularly because I’ve just been enjoying this privately and quietly.”

Prior to the announcement, Vick kept things underwraps and cleverly concealed her blossoming baby bump at a string of engagements, including the BRIT Awards in March this year.

But later in the month, the star met with Prince William as part of his role as Duke of Cornwall during a visit to Somerset. During the engagement, Vick looked radiant as she wrapped up wearing a brown knee-length coat and a cream jumpsuit. As she happily chatted away to the heir, her bump cheekily stood out with Vick choosing to rest her hands just below it.

The star looked sensational as she wore a figure-hugging brown silk dress which featured a bold cut out across her chest, revealing parts of her midriff. Vick’s gown also featured slashes across the sides, giving onlookers a glimpse at her bump as she and Calvin happily posed for the awaiting photographers on the red carpet.

Calvin asked for Vick’s hand in marriage, just five months into their relationship during a trip to his farm in Ibiza.

The pair exchanged vows just four months later during a stunning ceremony at Hulne Priory, Alnwick. AJ Odudu, Scott Mills, and Vernon Kay attended the festival-themed wedding. The incredible day included a fireworks display and live music performances from Nile Rogers and Chic.
