Who is Calvin Harris' fiancee Vick Hope - career, university and Strictly stint

Scottish DJ Calvin Harris has only been dating his new beau Vick Hope for five months, after his public break-up with model ex Aarika Wolfe - but they are already engaged.

As reported by the Daily Record, sources have revealed that Calvin and Vick are now engaged after he popped the question in Ibiza earlier this month.

Calvin, who split from his model girlfriend Aarika Wolfe in March after reports surfaced he wanted to spend more time in Ibiza, is no stranger to public, famous relationships.

What does Vick Hope work as?

Vick Hope is a 32-year-old radio and TV broadcaster who co-hosts BBC Radio 1’s Life Hacks show with Katie Thistleton, as well as a reboot of ITV’s kids’ show, HOW.

The Newcastle-born star was previously a club dancer before she broke into presenting when she was just 19 and still studying at university in Cambridge.

From 2017-2020, Vick hosted Capital FM's regional breakfast show alongside Roman Kemp, becoming a popular face of the radio programme.

She also hosts a podcast called The Beauty Of It All which explores issues in the health and beauty industry, such as body dysmorphia and self-image issues.

In 2018, Vick was a contestant on the sixteenth series of Strictly Come Dancing with dance partner Graziano Di Prima - but was unfortunately eliminated in the fourth round.

Who has Vick Hope dated before?

Unlike her new beau, Vick likes to keep her relationships somewhat out of the public eye - with her last high-profile companion being Tom Rosenthal, whom she split with in 2018 before appearing on Strictly Come Dancing.

Speaking at the time, Vick said: "I’ve just broken up with my boyfriend of four-and-a-half years because I was thinking, ‘Is this right?

"Is this who I’m going to be with for the rest of my life?

"If I’m not 100% sure about that, then maybe I should get out’.”

Vick also hit out at the cookie-cutter relationships that shows like Love Island perpetuate, stating to Grazia Magazine: "Never prioritise someone to whom you are just an option.

"I've seen it happen too many times on Love Island. It's now my number one piece of advice. In relationships you often wish certain narratives would play out - but you can't control another person's feelings."

How long have Vick and Calvin been together?

According to reports, Calvin and Vick have been dating secretly for months.

The Bounce DJ has met Vick's family in Newcastle, and her brothers have even joined the pair out in Ibiza.

The couple went public with their relationship at the Chelsea Flower Show, as they were spotted looking smitten as they walked hand in hand.

An insider for The Sun said: "Calvin proposed to Vick under his favourite tree on his farm Terra Masia in Ibiza.

"Vick said yes immediately, she is madly in love with Calvin and could not be any happier.

"She has been wearing her ring for weeks now but no one really noticed.

"Of course her Radio 1 colleagues spotted it immediately and it's been an open secret there. Everyone is so happy for her.

"Vick has been telling people they are going to be getting married in Ibiza. It's a really special place for them both now and where they want to spend their lives together.

"Vick's mum is helping her to plan the wedding and they're already putting together mood boards and plans.

"It was a shock for some people because it happened so quickly but it is obvious how happy they make each other."

A second source said: "Calvin was flying Vick out to Ibiza on his private jet.

"It was all very romantic and he really laid out the red carpet.

"Calvin has found the one in Vick."

It's unknown the exact date that Calvin got down on one knee, but it's likely some point in May 2022.
