Pregnant Vick Hope asks Radio 1’s Big Weekend crowd for baby name ideas before maternity leave
PREGNANT Vick Hope delighted fans at BBC Radio 1’s Big Weekend as she asked them for baby name ideas before heading off on maternity leave.
Presenter Vick, 35, who’s expecting her first baby with husband Calvin Harris, 41, later this year, made the most of her final weekend on air by getting stuck in at the Liverpool festival.
She danced on platforms, soaking up the sunshine and asking the crowd for baby name suggestions with co-host Jamie Laing.
Taking to the stage in a vibrant, bump-hugging maxi dress with a thigh-high slit, Vick looked glowing as she laughed and chatted with Jamie, who turned to the crowd for some help.
In a video published by MailOnline, he said: “Vick is about to go on maternity leave and she wants some help with some baby names, so if you can shout some names to me…”
Thousands of festival-goers started yelling their best suggestions – with Vick giggling, “OK, I got it,” before Jamie added, “That’s some good names in there!”
It marked a high-energy send-off for Vick, who was clearly in her element across the weekend.
She was spotted dancing with the BBC crew on the presenter’s platform, catching up with co-stars Greg James, Arielle Free and Lauren Layfield, and cheering along to surprise sets like Melanie C’s on-stage appearance with Tom Grennan.
She kept things more low-key behind the scenes – slipping into a black dress and trainers while off duty.
The mum-to-be penned: “Final @bbcradio1 Going Home show with just the two of us for a little while, it’s been such an absolute blast!
“Thank you for the love and the laughs these last few months sweet sweet @jamielaing, all the team, and of course our amazing listeners. Legends, the lot of ya.”
Vick shared a look at a cake and cards she’d been given from the Radio1 team, and she posted a photo of herself smiling behind the mic.
Jamie also shared a sweet message for Vick, saying: “To the sweetest soul, who goes on maternity leave today – what a blast we’ve had.”
When Vick told Jamie live on air that she was about to go on maternity leave, her co-presenter showered her with praise.
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.”
Vick and her DJ husband, have plenty of stunning homes where they will raise their child.
The pair own a stunning 138-acre organic farm in Ibiza, known as Terra Masia, which produces fruit, vegetables, eggs, and wine.
They also have a 10-acre estate in the Cotswolds, which Calvin purchased for £3.6m in 2019.
Over the past few years, they’ve been building a new mansion on the Oxfordshire site which will become the family’s primary residence.
