It was a regular Monday afternoon for BBC Radio 1 listeners—until Vick Hope dropped a heartwarming surprise on her drivetime show.
While chatting with her co-host Jamie Laing, the 35-year-old presenter announced that she’s expecting her first child with husband Calvin Harris. And in typical Vick fashion, she did it with grace, warmth, and a glowing smile.
“This is actually my last week before I go on maternity leave,” she casually shared, sparking immediate cheers from Jamie and an outpouring of love from fans.
Jamie responded sweetly, telling her, “You’re an amazing friend, an amazing person, and you’re just going to be an amazing mum.”
Fans Had Already Picked Up the Clues on Social Media
If you’ve been keeping an eye on Vick’s Instagram lately, the signs were definitely there.
From the moment she posted those snaps from a countryside “baby shower-themed” getaway, fans had started to connect the dots.
There were hints everywhere—games involving tiny baby dolls frozen in ice cubes, friends gathered around a sunset dinner, and lots of laughter in the sunshine.
One playful photo showed the classic baby shower game “my water broke” in action, and another captured a shirtless Calvin—holding a rooster, no less—with Vick cheekily captioning it, “Meet Smoky King Cock.”
Clearly, the couple were already in full-on celebration mode.
Stylish Baby Bump Sightings Had Already Sparked Speculation
For weeks, fans and followers had been buzzing about Vick’s noticeable baby bump.
Whether she was arriving at the studio or strolling around in form-fitting outfits, the bump was beginning to make headlines. Yet Vick had remained quiet—until now.
Even during a recent interview with Florence Pugh on BBC Radio 1, Vick, dressed in a sleek cream bodycon dress, was seen gently cradling her belly.
Though the segment hasn’t officially made it to Radio 1’s Instagram, it was uploaded to YouTube on Monday night, further confirming what many had already guessed.
Messages of Love Pour In From Celebrity Friends
The moment Vick’s pregnancy news became public, her social media was flooded with support and joy from fellow celebs.
Lisa Snowdon wrote, “Congratulations darling. So happy for you both,” while Laura Whitmore playfully added, “She got the glow!”
Author Elizabeth Day chimed in with, “Vick congratulations.
You look RADIANT AF,” and Dr. Ranj said what everyone was thinking: “Congrats!!!!” Fans joined in too, with comments like, “Knew she was pregnant at the Brits!” and “Exciting times ahead!”
Reflecting on Her Relationship and Low-Key Love Story
Vick and Calvin, who tied the knot in a beautiful Ibiza ceremony in September 2023, have always kept their love life relatively private.
They met years ago—back when Calvin was riding high on his hit Acceptable in the 80s and Vick was just 19.
She admitted in an interview that she’d turned down his advances back then, something the couple still laughs about to this day.
Despite Calvin’s superstar status and estimated £200 million fortune, Vick has always cherished the quiet, meaningful moments in their relationship.
She once described their engagement as “perfect” and revealed that they choose not to share too much online because they want to keep those special moments “real.”
From Ibiza Wedding to Italian Honeymoon Bliss
After their magical wedding—which had full Glastonbury vibes—the couple whisked themselves away to Brindisi, Italy, for a romantic honeymoon on a jaw-dropping £25 million private jet. Talk about a fairytale.
Still, their love story has remained refreshingly grounded.
Vick previously told The Standard that their favorite kind of date includes a walk through Broadway Market and a chilled-out picnic in London Fields—just a couple enjoying the simple things together.
Vick Addresses Old Pregnancy Rumors with Humor and Honesty
Of course, this isn’t the first time fans suspected Vick might be expecting.
Back in 2024 after the Grammy Awards, she posted a photo with her hand on her stomach—setting off a flurry of speculation.
Vick quickly responded on Instagram, explaining that she was probably just smoothing her dress or dealing with a post-breakfast bloat.
“Thank you for all the lovely messages,” she added at the time, putting the rumors to rest in her signature kind-hearted way.
Now, It’s Official: Baby on the Way for Vick and Calvin
Fast forward to today—and this time, it’s the real deal.
Vick is embracing her final week on BBC Radio 1 before stepping away for maternity leave, and it’s clear she’s soaking in every moment.
As she gears up for this new chapter of motherhood with Calvin by her side, fans are sending nothing but love and well wishes.
After all, it’s not every day that a baby announcement feels this joyful, authentic, and full of good vibes.
