Vick Hope shares rare insight into her marriage with Calvin Harris amid pregnancy rumours after fans congratulated her on 'baby news'
Vick Hope has shared a rare insight into her marriage with Calvin Harris amid mounting rumours she's pregnant with their first child.
The TV and radio presenter, 35, has shared a series of 'bump' snaps in recent days and has been spotted out and about in stomach-hugging outfits.
Fans and her celebrity pals have also commented on her social media with congratulatory messages on her 'baby news'.
Vick, who married Calvin in September 2023, has since opened up about her relationship and told The Standard their favourite kind of date.
She said: 'Is it extremely @real_housewives_of_clapton to say a little London Fields picnic?
'A walk by the canal and through Broadway Market, settle down on the grass for a couple of refreshing canned cocktails.'
Vick shared several images to Instagram from her recent work highlights, with several showing her 'bump' on Wednesday.
Her famous friends and fans rushed to the comment section to congratulate Vick and her husband Calvin, 41.
Lisa Snowdon wrote: 'Congratulations darling. So happy for you both,' while Laura Whitmore seemed to drop a hint as she commented: 'She got the glow!'
Elizabeth Day said: 'Vick congratulations. You look RADIANT AF,' and Dr Ranj added: 'Congrats!!!!'
Other fan comments included: 'Omg are we going to talk about you expecting! Huge congrats!';
'Congratulations to you and Calvin. Fabulous news. Exciting times ahead,'; 'Knew she was pregnant at the Brits!'
During a new BBC Radio 1 interview with actress Florence Pugh, the presenter supported a bump as she sat in a cream bodycon dress.

Next to her co-host Jamie Laing, Vic gently stroked her stomach throughout the interview, also proudly showing off her dazzling engagement and wedding ring.
The recorded interview hasn't yet been published on social media, including Radio One's Instagram page nor Vick or Jamie's.
However, it was posted to YouTube on Monday night.
Vick and Calvin previously sparked pregnancy rumours after the Grammy Awards back in 2024.
The speculation started after the presenter posted a photo from the awards event where she was seen gently placing her hand on her stomach, which led fans to wonder if this was a subtle hint at a pregnancy.
However, Radio 1 presenter Vick quickly put an end to the rumours on Instagram.
She responded to a fan who urged others to stop commenting on women's bodies, saying: 'Yep, just placing my hand on my tummy! I think I was smoothing my dress or checking my post-brekkie bloat or something but thank you all for all the lovely messages.'
Vick and Calvin, whose real name is Adam Richard Wiles, celebrated their first wedding anniversary late last year, after tying the knot in a lavish Ibiza Glastonbury-themed wedding in September 2023.
One penned: 'Omg are we going to talk about you expecting! Huge congrats!'
After their wedding, the newlyweds jetted off to Brindisi in Italy on a £25million private jet for their romantic honeymoon.
Previously, Vick revealed her and Calvin's love story actually goes all the way back to the mid-Noughties.
Vick shared that when she was 19 she rejected a 24-year-old Calvin's advances when he was riding on the high of his hit Acceptable In The 80s.
She told You Magazine: 'It's something that we laughed about on our first proper date. We still laugh about it now.'
While Calvin went on to become one of the world's highest producers, racking up an estimated £200million fortune, Vick previously admitted she was 'shallow' and had no idea he would turn into 'an Adonis'.
Talking about her engagement to Calvin, Vick confessed she kept the details of her engagement private noting it was a 'very special moment' and that 'it was... perfect'.
She added: 'We don't really put anything on social media because the time we have together is 'real life' and it's our own.
'For the first time in a long time, I'm finishing work and going home to a life that is just mine. I'm learning to find balance and peace.'

How to make the most of Glastonbury with friends – by someone who's been 19 times
I remember my first visit to Glastonbury festival like it was yesterday. It was the summer of 1999, I was with six very excitable, bucket hat-wearing, student mates. We pitched our cheap tents underneath a pylon between the Pyramid Stage and the Guardian tent, and the weekend was filled with non-stop laughs, joyful bewilderment and music from the likes of Lenny Kravitz, Manic Street Preachers, Hole and Gomez. There have been a further 18 pilgrimages to Worthy Farm since. I've done it in many different formations – with that same group of university friends, with just my boyfriend, taken my younger sister on her inaugural visit, and even camped out in a group of 20 – and each experience has been magical in its own way. I've been lucky enough to enjoy performances from legends such as David Bowie, Beyoncé, the Rolling Stones, Kendrick Lamar and Diana Ross. I've mingled with Kate Moss, Pete Doherty and Jarvis Cocker, and I even made it on to Kanye West's guest list to get a last-minute ticket in 2015. Glastonbury has grown from a handful of stages back in 1999 to a 365-hectare (900-acre) behemoth, catering for more than 140,000 attendees, so it can get pretty confusing when you're with friends who want to enjoy different things. But there are some failsafe tricks that help to make it a stress-free, joy-filled experience. Whether there are two of you or you're a party of 10, here are my top tips to get organised for your best festival yet. Glastonbury is huge. It can feel like you're navigating a small city, so get ahead of the crowds and decide where to camp before you get there, especially if you and your mates are arriving at different times. Study the site map on the Official Glastonbury 2025 app, powered by Vodafone, to pick the best spot for you and your friends based on the stages whose lineups you like the most. The quickest way to do this is by checking where your favourite artists are playing using the Glastonbury app. Then use the map to locate the closest camping grounds, for example: Oxlyers campsite is good for the Other Stage, the Park Stage, Arcadia and Silver Hayes, while Hawkwell and Hitchin Hill are near the Pyramid Stage, Woodsies and public transport drop-offs. Campsite decided, use the app's map to locate your closest pedestrian gate and head for car parks nearest to it – this is crucial, as the walk from your vehicle to the campsite can be a bit of a slog with all your belongings. My mates and I always stop for a drink to break up the journey (with something soft for the drivers) and embrace it as part of the Glastonbury experience. With about 100 stages and more than 2,000 acts performing at Glastonbury, it's impossible to see everything. Use the Glastonbury app to find and highlight all your favourite acts and create your own personal lineup. This way, you can spot any potential clashes – and the shared-lineups feature now automatically updates, which means it's even easier to keep track of what your friends are seeing. Last year, Idles and Fontaines DC played at almost the same time and split my group of friends down the middle. However, we all managed to meet up for the last few songs of Fontaines DC (who were on a little later) by using the Glastonbury app's pin location function to find each other. Allow time to check out non-music areas such as the Green Fields, Carhenge and the Theatre & Circus fields – these are all great places to hang out with your whole group of friends or chill out as a pair, and also get some great photos. There is one thing that does make planning tricky: secret acts. In the past, my friends and I have caught last-minute performances by artists including the Libertines, Foals, the Charlatans and Lizzo. If you don't want to miss out, check the Glastonbury app for 'TBA' slots in the weekend's programming and watch out for bands with fake-looking names – the Foo Fighters were listed as the Churnups in 2023. Also, keep an eye on the app's news section, listen to the on-site radio station Worthy FM (87.7FM) and speak to staff at the stages in question for a cheeky tip-off. Despite the odd rain shower, there hasn't actually been a muddy Glastonbury since 2016, and to be honest, I haven't packed wellies for years. Instead, I opt for less cumbersome trail shoes or walking boots. My top tip would be to pack items that can be layered, to get you from mild mornings through hot sunny afternoons into chilly evenings – plus the possible rain shower. Also, speak to friends about sharing clothes and footwear to avoid overpacking. My sister and I are the same size and have similar tastes, so we managed to swap items around over the weekend. Also speak to your mates about fancy dress themes – this is particularly popular for the 'legend slot' on the Sunday afternoon. My friends and I opted for sequins for Kylie Minogue, a 1970s theme for Diana Ross and matching Elton John tops for his headline performance in 2023. This year, Rod Stewart takes the legend slot – so it's blond mullet wigs at the ready. If you do forget something, there are plenty of stalls on-site selling everything from wellies to preloved vintage items at reasonable prices. Check the Glastonbury app powered by Vodafone for store locations. I've managed to lose mates when we were simply walking from one stage to another – it only takes one unplanned toilet or food stop. If you do get split up, use the new live location function on the Glastonbury app to find each other – this is especially helpful if you're at the festival as a pair and don't fancy being by yourself for too long. Long gone are the days of the vague 'meet you at the left of the mixing desk' instructions – instead, use the pin drop functionality in the app to arrange meeting spots ahead of headliners, when stage areas are at their most crowded. It's also a good way to find your way back to your camping spot – in a sea of tents that all look exactly the same after a few pear ciders. The festival ground is so vast that by the end of the weekend you might feel as if you've walked and danced a marathon. This year, the new step-counting feature on the Glastonbury app will show you just how much ground you've covered. And you can share the news with friends! Despite your best intentions, there's one thing that can scupper all your plans: running out of phone battery. Back in 1999, coverage was sketchy and once we were out of charge, our phones were useless for the rest of the festival. Now, Glastonbury is powered by Vodafone, with phone masts providing fast and reliable connectivity over the entirety of the site. Head to Vodafone's Connect & Charge area for access to wifi, and a place to charge your phones for free. If you don't want to waste time waiting around while your mates are off seeing bands, instead buy a fully charged battery pack (these can be pre-ordered), which can be swapped free once a day for a fully charged one when yours runs out. For every battery pack purchased, Vodafone will donate a pre-loaded sim card to a range of charities in the south-west that support digitally excluded people. That way, you can give something back to the local community while also making sure you don't miss a moment with your friends.

No Glastonbury tickets? These genius hacks will help you get the festival vibe with friends at home
So you didn't manage to bag yourself a ticket to Glastonbury? Do the next best thing and throw a Glasto-inspired party at home. Create the festival vibe by decorating your outdoor space, serving up delicious drinks and food-truck style bites, and turning up the volume on your playlist. Most importantly, assemble your crew for a guaranteed great time, even if you're not at Worthy Farm … Set the moodGet the buildup going before the party starts. Why not send out invites in the form of DIY backstage passes – letting your friends know they can enjoy 'access all areas' to your kitchen (food trucks), garden (Pyramid stage) and VIP toilet facilities. Don't be shy about suggesting a theme – boho chic? – and start a Glasto group chat to get the hype the magicThere's nothing beige about Glastonbury so when setting the scene, go bright. Dress your garden with colourful festival flags and banners, string up bunting and hang paper lanterns from trees. You can even include a tent for the ultimate festival touch while burning incense sticks will give that authentic festival scent. No festival is complete without a workshop or two, and that includes Glastonbury. For your DIY festival, set out a small table with facepaint, stencils and mirror – so your guests can have fun getting the festival look. Make things comfortable but inviting by layering picnic rugs with blankets and throws for an eclectic, patterned look. Then add lots of cushions so your guests can lounge comfortably, but do make sure you leave enough space for dancing. If you have room, it's always fun to set up a few games or activities – think hula hoops, limbo or giant Jenga. Keep the magic going as the sun goes down with festoon lights and solar-powered lanterns. And if you've got the space, a firepit is a great option. It not only delivers the charm of flickering flames, but also keeps everyone warm if the night is chilly. If you have the tech, set up an outdoor screen so you can watch your favourite acts live under an open sky. Curate a killer playlist The joy of celebrating Glastonbury at home is that you get to curate your lineup without having to factor in getting from stage to stage. To feel like you're at the event and connected to the thousands of ticketholders, download the free Official Glastonbury 2025 app, powered by Vodafone. Use it to create – and share – your personalised lineup of artists, and in between sets, listen to Worthy FM, Glastonbury's on-site radio station. Connecting friends to the best of British summerVodafone has been connecting people to the places and things they love since 1984 – that's why it is The Nation's Network. Whether you're at Glastonbury itself or partying at home as if you were there, Vodafone has you covered (its 4G network reaches more than 99% of UK homes). Food truck ideasForget sharing platters, instead serve up the type of festival food that's dished up from food trucks. For a world food vibe, cook up big pots of curries and rice beforehand and bring them to a buffet table for guests to help themselves. Or, opt for dishes that can be rustled up quickly and easily such as pizza slices, nachos with a variety of toppings, and pitta bread with falafel and dips. With hamburgers, hotdogs and tacos, instead of serving them ready-to-go, lay out all the ingredients and let guests assemble them. Don't forget sweet treats – platters of baked goodies such as fairy cakes and brownies work well, and remember marshmallows and biscuits for toasting smores around the firepit. Festival drinks Drinks are key so go big with an outdoor bar. Cover a sturdy table with a cloth (if it's wood and looks good, leave it as it is). Place a couple of galvanised tubs on either end of the table, ready to be half-filled with ice to chill your drinks (do this about half an hour before the party is due to begin). They will get heavy, though, so make sure your table is up to the task; if in doubt, place the tubs on the ground. Arrange your glassware – you can go for the real thing although now there are plenty of stylish acrylic glasses that are perfect for wine, beer and cocktails. When choosing drinks, include craft beers and cider (for that Somerset touch), along with pre-mixed cocktails in a can. There are now plenty of non-alcoholic options, so include those for the non-drinkers, as well as pitchers of water. For added fun factor, create a signature cocktail using cider – there are plenty of recipe ideas online. Choose one that can be mixed beforehand and just poured out, or one where you can do some of the prep before guests arrive, adding the final ingredient such as sparkling wine just before you hand it to your guest.

‘Intense and fleeting' – how festival friendships can touch your soul (and change your life)
There's something strange and magical that happens at Glastonbury. One minute you're in the queue for halloumi fries, minding your own business, and the next you're deep in conversation with someone you've just met, bonding over your mutual fear of missing a secret Four Tet set. You might not know their surname (or even their real name) but for one golden weekend, they become your person. I've seen it happen more times than I can count. From the half-shouted conversations between strangers at the front of the Pyramid stage, to my friend's thoroughly modern romance with a gorgeous man in a wedding dress. She became his groom for the night; they cruised the festival together in blissful fancy-dress harmony. But by morning he'd gone full runaway bride and vanished. More than 10 years later, she still refers to him as 'the one that got away'. Such stories used to be all too common, with countless intense, fleeting festival friendships lost to the crowd. But since Vodafone teamed up with Glastonbury to boost connectivity at Worthy Farm, it's become so much easier to connect with and keep track of suddenly made friends. The free Official Glastonbury 2025 app, powered by Vodafone, offers lineup sharing and, new for this year, live location sharing to help people stay in touch with friends old and new. For 30-year-old Katrina Mirpuri, a chance encounter at Glastonbury became the start of something lasting. 'In 2024, I went to Arrivals, which was Glastonbury's first dedicated South Asian stage,' she says. 'It had a curated lineup of DJs and artists, and by the side of the stage there was an area where you could sit and hang out. That's where I ended up making this amazing friend called Yash – we literally sat next to one another on a bench and got chatting.' Hours passed. Their conversation meandered from 'cultural values to relationships and marriage – everything', she says. They swapped numbers before parting ways that evening, and a year on, they still meet for drinks in London. 'The whole experience made me feel really grateful to be at the festival. Even though it's so huge, I think you can connect with people really easily. There are spaces that invite you to have conversations that you might not get to have in everyday life. I definitely think we hit it off because we were in an area that catered for and represented our culture. It gave us a grounding to start talking.' It's a sentiment echoed by Natasha Hannawin, 29, who had a chance meeting at her first Glastonbury in 2018 that went on to change her life for ever. 'If you meet at somewhere like Glastonbury,' she muses, 'I think you can safely say you'll have a few things in common, which always makes it easier to form a friendship.' That year, she'd signed up to volunteer with Oxfam. 'I got a really good gig, actually, because I was one of the stewards on an artist's vehicle gate – I checked Solange's wristband, which is my claim to fame,' she laughs. It was during a 12-hour night shift that she got chatting to a man working for site services. 'I think I won him over with my millions of questions about food – asking: 'If you were going to go to this restaurant, what would you order?' You know, all that mindless chit-chat that gets you through a night shift.' The next day they arranged to meet up with their respective friendship groups. 'We just talked a lot about the music, who we were excited to see, that kind of stuff.' By the end of the weekend, something had clicked. They stayed in touch, and by the end of the summer, they were in a relationship. 'I don't think either of us is particularly confident,' Natasha says. 'In fact, we were both probably quite nervous, shy people but I think it worked out as well as it did because we were thrown together randomly in this low-pressure environment.' A year later, they returned to Glastonbury as a couple. Now, seven years after their first shared night shift, they're planning their wedding. 'There'll be lots of nods to Glastonbury in our wedding,' Natasha says. 'I think we're going to call our top table Worthy Farm. It's a nice story to tell people – and inevitably they always end up telling us about all the random friendships they've made through the festival too.' Connecting friends to the best of British summerVodafone has been connecting people to the places and things they love since 1984 – that's why it is The Nation's Network. As Glastonbury's official connectivity partner, Vodafone is proud to support the festival's charity partners including Oxfam, Greenpeace and WaterAid by donating sim cards and battery packs to keep volunteers connected and fully charged. Even when the friendship only lasts the length of the festival, it can leave a real imprint. One of 36-year-old Pip's most vivid memories is of making 'a completely random friend on the last night of my first Glastonbury'. The group he'd travelled with had left on Sunday, so he decided to go it alone. 'I just got chatting to this guy who was dancing by himself on a patch of grass and we ended up hanging out together for that whole night. We didn't swap numbers or try to stay in touch but we just had such a fun time.' It set the tone for the whole experience. 'I left the next day feeling really full of love for the whole experience. It's so rare to connect like that, without expectation or pressure – it's genuinely heartwarming.' For 59-year-old Katy, festivals, and Glastonbury in particular, offered not just connection, but transformation. 'I was 46 when I first volunteered at a festival. I was at a bit of a funny life stage – people get busy with parenthood, work and family, and your friendships can change quite a lot in your 40s and 50s. I had some parent friends, but as they get older, you start to realise that maybe the only thing you had in common were your children.' Knowing she loved live music, she signed up to volunteer. 'That kind of started things off for me. In 2016 I volunteered at my first Glastonbury and it was incredible.' The friendships she formed that weekend have since become like family. 'It's opened a whole other world for me.' She now returns most years as part of a network of volunteers supporting charities such as Oxfam and WaterAid, often attending solo and meeting up with people she's met through the community. As they go about their work, the volunteers can rely on Vodafone's support – it donates free sim cards and battery packs to help keep them connected and fully charged. Katy says: 'Glastonbury changed my life for the better and I hope I can continue to do it for a lot longer. It's an amazing place to go to solo because there are so many groups where you instantly feel welcomed.' And best of all, fleeting encounters no longer have to be lost to the mist. The Official Glastonbury app is making it easier to keep those new connections going and help you find that new friend dancing near the front in a sea of sequins. Whether it's for one magical night or for the rest of your life, one thing's for sure, the friendships you make at Glastonbury will stay with you long after the music stops.
