Jamie told her: "You're an amazing friend, an amazing person, and you're just going to be an amazing mum,." She replied: "Oh, thank you." But many fans had already guessed that the DJ was pregnant weeks ago. Here we take a look at some of the clues that Vick subtly dropped to hint at her pregnancy.

Vick and Calvin certainly have solid foundations to give a baby the best possible early life. Calvin and Vick have a stunning 138-acre organic farm in Ibiza, known as Terra Masia. The Spanish estate produces fruit, vegetables, eggs, and wine, and represents Harris's shift from jet-set lifestyle to a more rural affair. A source told The Sun in 2022: 'Calvin employs an expert team, including farmers and chefs, but he's also hands-on, regularly getting involved in planting and other farm activities. He's truly passionate about the project.' They also have a 10-acre estate in the Cotswolds, which Calvin purchased for £3.6m in 2019. Over the last few years a bespoke new mansion has been built on the Oxfordshire site which will become the family's primary residence. Architect Ben Pentreath, a favourite of the royals, designed the property which will be completed this year. A source told the Mail: " There's no expense spared and it's going to be amazing."

She attended the star-studded event in London wearing an oversized plaid coat. Underneath she opted for a brown mini dress but her winter jacket was pulled tightly together to conceal her stomach. Earlier this month, Vick shared a post of her recent work highlights. One snap showed her smiling with Radio 1 co-star Jamie Laing while wearing a baggy grey jumper. She also posed for a team photo with her new Countryfile family. Vick wrapped up in a big black puffer coat, cream jumper and grey beanie hat. In other recent snaps, the radio star is seen sitting behind a desk or wearing oversized baggy t-shirts. And just a few weeks ago, Vick hosted with Greg James at the London Marathon as they cheered on their co-presenter Jamie. Vick was seen wearing an oversized white teddy bear coat which kept her bump under cover. UNOFFICIAL ANNOUCEMENT 10 The radio favourite posted a photo of her blossoming bump Credit: Instagram 10 Vick was seen cradling her bump during an interview with Florence Pugh Credit: Instagram Just two weeks ago, Vick shared a photo of her blossoming bump. Although the star had not officially announced her pregnancy, Vick was inundated with messages of congratulations from celeb pals. Lisa Snowden wrote: "Congratulations darling. So happy for you both." Kate Thornton posted: "Congratulations on your beautiful news." Ashley James shared her excitement, commenting: "Omg Vick," with a string of red heart emojis. Vick was also seen cradling her bump during an interview with Florence Pugh two weeks ago. Vick and Calvin's love story was a longtime coming, with its origins going back to 2007, when Calvin was in his 'Acceptable in the '80s' era. He had a crush on BBC star Vick, but when he worked up the courage to ask her out, she rejected him. She told You Magazine: 'It's something that we laughed about on our first proper date… 'We still laugh about it now.' Vick later confessed on Capital Radio: 'I went off with either Scouting for Girls or The Wombats. I don't know which. 'I thought they were going to be bigger, but no, it turns out Calvin Harris was going to turn into an Adonis." Despite Calvin's failed attempt at a date in the mid 2000s, he did eventually get the girl. The couple made their first official outing at The Chelsea Flower Show in May 2022. People couldn't help but notice a sparkling diamond sitting on Vick's ring finger - just five months after they got together. They married in September 2023 at Hulne Priory, Alnwick, Northumberland. During the ceremony, the pair shared their personal vows and listened to poems. Nile Rodgers and Chic kicked off the reception with Luther Vandross' 1981 hit Never Too Much, which was followed by songs by Madonna, Beyoncé, Pharrell Williams and David Bowie.

Maura Higgins will make her first red carpet appearance since BRITs kiss scandal at the TV BAFTAs - but Danny Jones will skip event to avoid 'putting a foot wrong' with his wife Georgia
will be returning to the red carpet for the first time since the BRITs kiss scandal but won't face an awkward run-in with Danny Jones, it has been claimed. The Love Island star, 34, and the married McFly singer, 39, hit headlines in March when they were spotted in a compromising clinch at the Universal Music's BRIT Awards afterparty. Danny is said to no longer have a 'normal relationship' with his wife Georgia, 38, and while they are still living under the same roof, they now have 'separate lives'. Both Danny and Maura have generally kept away from public events since the scandal, but the reality TV star's return to the red carpet has now been revealed. According to The Sun, Maura will storm red carpet at the TV BAFTAs at Southbank Centre's Royal Festival Hall on Sunday, but will not answer any questions about the kiss. She will not be faced with an awkward reunion with Danny as he is reportedly skipping the ceremony to avoid 'putting a foot wrong' with his wife. A source told the Sun: 'She's put the whole incident behind her and feels she has nothing to be ashamed of. 'Danny won't be attending though as he is focusing on his family life and work, he wouldn't do anything to make wife Georgia doubt him and doesn't want to set a foot a wrong.' MailOnline has contacted Danny and Maura's representatives for a comment. Maura last appeared on the red carpet at the BRIT Awards, just hours before she was spotted sharing a kiss with Danny at the Universal afterparty. Danny and Georgia's marriage was rocked after the I'm A Celeb winner shared a drunken kiss with former campmate Maura, with further reports claiming the pair had continued their night until 6am, sharing wine together at Nobu Hotel bar. Danny, who apologised to his wife and family for 'putting them in this situation', has stayed living at the couple's West London home, where Georgia moved to on her own as he appeared on the ITV jungle series in December. Sources claimed to MailOnline that despite their efforts, Danny and Georgia are like 'passing ships' and friends fear their relationship is hanging on by a thread. They said: 'Danny and Georgia have been trying to navigate a very difficult time in their marriage and for the best part they have been taking each day as it comes. 'They may be living under the same roof, but they barely see each other and right now are like passing ships. 'Danny is preparing for his summer gigs with McFly, and Georgia has been attending influencer events and collaborating with brands, all while looking after son, Cooper, who regularly features on her Instagram profile. 'But when they're not working, Danny is out on his motorbike or exercising in the gym, and Georgia is either on her own or spending time with family and girlfriends. 'They haven't actually been publicly seen together for six weeks and behind the scenes, their relationship is anything but normal.' Georgia, who's a former Miss England, temporarily moved out of the family home in the wake of the kissing scandal last month. But after deciding to give their marriage a second chance, she returned to the property as sources claimed Danny was willing to do 'anything to make it work.' In recent weeks, Georgia has been seen at events including for Marks & Spencer, where she took part in a fitness session with ambassador Alex Scott.
