Broadcaster Vick Hope and DJ Calvin Harris are going to have a baby! After a few weeks of dropping heavy hints online – including sharing snaps from a recent baby shower – Countryfile presenter Vick has finally confirmed her pregnancy.

The pregnant star and producer Calvin often keep their relationship low-key but have let slip minor details in the past, including their Glastonbury themed wedding back in September 2023.

Now, Vick has announced that she and the music legend are to become parents for the first time. Speaking live on Radio 1 this afternoon, Vick, 35, confirmed her happy news and spoke about her pregnancy for the first time.

The mum-to-be, who co-hosts the stations drivetime show with with Katie Thistleton and Jamie Laing, told listeners: “I should say that this is my final week. I wanted to share that with you because we’ve had such a lovely time over the last few weeks. That time is coming to an end for a bit because I’m going on maternity leave next week.”

Former Made In Chelsea star Jamie piped in with: “You’re an amazing friend, an amazing person, and you’re just going to be an amazing mum.” Vick then went on to share why she hasn’t formally announced she is expecting a baby.

She explained: “This is not an announcement, by the way. People keep saying are you going to announce, are you going to announce? And I’m like, I’m not the King. I do not see the point, it’s not for me. I’ll be honest, I struggle with anything that’s personal or private.

“I will tell you a story about eating a kebab out of a bin, that’s one thing. But there’s a line and so I’ve never been that big on sharing. Particularly because I’ve just been enjoying this privately and quietly.”

Prior to the announcement, Vick kept things underwraps and cleverly concealed her blossoming baby bump at a string of engagements, including the BRIT Awards in March this year.

But later in the month, the star met with Prince William as part of his role as Duke of Cornwall during a visit to Somerset. During the engagement, Vick looked radiant as she wrapped up wearing a brown knee-length coat and a cream jumpsuit. As she happily chatted away to the heir, her bump cheekily stood out with Vick choosing to rest her hands just below it.

William congratulated her on her “brilliant” new role after she was announced as a presenter for Countryfile, with radio star Hope saying how it was nice “to spend time in nature.” Prior to announcing her pregnancy, Vick and Calvin put on a loved-up display at the BRIT Awards on March 1.

The star looked sensational as she wore a figure-hugging brown silk dress which featured a bold cut out across her chest, revealing parts of her midriff. Vick’s gown also featured slashes across the sides, giving onlookers a glimpse at her bump as she and Calvin happily posed for the awaiting photographers on the red carpet.

Calvin asked for Vick’s hand in marriage, just five months into their relationship during a trip to his farm in Ibiza.

The pair exchanged vows just four months later during a stunning ceremony at Hulne Priory, Alnwick. AJ Odudu, Scott Mills, and Vernon Kay attended the festival-themed wedding. The incredible day included a fireworks display and live music performances from Nile Rogers and Chic.

Britain’s Got Talent star, Amanda Holden, shared the Rightmove listing of her parent’s home on Instagram

Amanda Holden’s family are selling a £895,000 property on Rightmove – and now, you can peek inside. This ‘true rural gem’ is situated in Hersham, a hamlet south of Kilkhampton in Cornwall.

The TV star’s parents confessed they are giving it up ‘begrudgingly’ to be nearer family and friends. Commenting on a Rightmove advert, they said it’s just a five-minute drive from stunning sandy beaches and go-to spots like Bodmin Moor and Dartmoor.

“We are sad to leave this lovely home we have lived in for over 22 years,” Amanda’s family said, according to a Rightmove listing. “We will miss the early morning bird song and the gorgeous vistas and spectacular sunsets from different viewpoints throughout our gardens.

“We have had many wonderful memories of barbecues in the garden with family and friends. Unfortunately age has caught up with us and begrudgingly we feel the time has come to downsize and be nearer to family.

“We will miss our wonderful house and all our neighbours (95% of which are still here). It is so peaceful and quiet and very private and although in a country lane only five mins car ride away from amenities and the wonderful sandy beaches.”

The main thatched-roof detached cottage boasts four bedrooms, two bathrooms, two receptions and a car park that can host roughly eight vehicles at a time. It’s home to several cosy fireplaces, stunning timber floors and historic features, having once been the centre of traditional cart marking.

Entering the main cottage through the lobby, prospective buyers will be welcomed into a comfortable kitchen and breakfast room, with LPG central heating throughout. This unfolds into the dining room, another hallway and a sitting room.

Sellers continue: “The principal bedroom is great double room in terms of size, with a beautiful guest room enjoys its own en suite facilities, while the remaining two bedrooms offer versatility for extra family or as a dressing room, as our clients currently use the 4th bedroom for.”

Three annexes with more bedrooms are also situated on site with an ‘established history’ of holiday letting income over more than 10 years. Two are single-storey, while the third is on two floors and offers a living room, kitchen, and conservatory.

Beyond the property, owners may enjoy its sweeping landscape gardens and three scenic lookout spots, too. From here, you can not only spot the sea but also sweeping views of Dartmoor and Bodmin Moor.

Each of the annexes have separate secluded garden areas and courtyards. The sellers add: “Whether you’re seeking an idyllic family home with space for extended family or looking to combine country living with income generation, this magical Cornish retreat offers something truly special.”

This beautiful property is situated in Hersham, a small village located south of Kilkhampton in Cornwall. It’s nearly two miles from the historic village of Statton, which features a medical centre, several local pubs, a post office, and a seven-day shop.

The coastal town of Bude is also nearby, where visitors can explore delightful cliff walks and sandy beaches.

Jennifer Lawrence has opened up about the ‘brutal’ but ‘lifechanging’ experience of becoming a mother, after the actress welcomed her second child earlier this year.

Jennifer Lawrence has opened up Jennifer Lawrence so far, admitting that she has found the experience ‘brutal’.

The Hunger Games actress welcomed her first child, a son named Cy, with husband Cooke Maroney in 2022, before becoming a mum for the second time earlier this year – with the couple yet to share the name of their second child.

Jennifer is currently at the Cannes Film Festival to promote her new movie, Die, My Love, which stars Robert Pattinson and centres around a mother, played by Jennifer, who is struggling to maintain her sanity as she battles with psychosis.

And drawing on her own experience with two children, Jennifer shared at the film’s press conference: “Having children changes your whole life — it’s brutal and incredible.”

She continued, “Not only does it go into every decision of if I’m working, when I’m working and where I’m working. My job has a lot to do with emotion; they’ve opened up the world to me.”

While Jennifer can draw parallels from her own life and her on-screen roles, particularly ones which centre around motherhood, she assured that she keeps a fine line between the two. “I’m not an actor who brings the work home,” said the star.

Jennifer and her art director husband Cooke – who have been putting on a loved-up display in Cannes this week – have been together since 2018, meeting in Spring that year before getting engaged less than twelve months later.

During a 2019 episode of the Naked with Catt Sedler podcast, the actress gushed her partner is “the greatest human being” she has ever met.

She said: “He really is, and he gets better. [In the beginning], I started with the basics, you know, ‘How do I feel? Is he nice? Is he kind?’ … It’s just this is The One, I know that sounds really stupid but … We wanted to marry each other, we wanted to commit fully and he’s my best friend and so I want to legally bind him to me forever.”

Before they welcomed their second child, it was reported that the couple weren’t 100% sure about growing their family.

A source told Us Weekly at the time: “At first they weren’t sure if they wanted another one because it’s so much work, but they’re obsessed with Cy and love showing off videos to their friends and family. They’ve started warming up to the possibility of a second.”

TV veteran Judy Finnigan turned 77 this weekend and she celebrated in the best way possible, surrounded by her loved ones as her daughter Chloe documented their day

Beaming Judy Finnigan looked radiant as she celebrated her 77th birthday with her family this weekend.

The TV veteran marked the special day with those closest to her as she smile for some fun-filled snaps. The former This Morning’s host daughter Chloe took to Instagram to share the moment with mum Judy, dad Richard Madeley, brother Jack and her young daughter Bodhi.

Judy looked fantastic wearing a floral dress for the occasion, and it would be a birthday unless she was treated to cake, balloons, presents and flowers as they all enjoyed the sunshine. Chloe captioned the post: “Rosé flowing with your chosen family. Happy birthday to my favourite woman in the world.”

It wasn’t long before friends, famous faces and fans made sure Judy felt the love. “Happy birthday Queen Judy,” reality star Vicky Pattison commented, as Vanessa Feltz said: “Happy birthday Judy. Charlotte Hawkins, Louise Thompson and Bryony Gordon also sent their well wishes.

It was a nice relaxing birthday for her, the family went for a walk after they unwrapped some presents and Chloe captured the moment little Bodhi saw her grandparents on a poster for their book club. Then it was back to the house to cut the cake as they enjoyed some time together.

Speaking to Kate Thornton recently on her White Wine Question Time podcast, Richard and Judy revealed that although their working relationship has gone separate ways, their love is as strong as ever. The duo fronted This Morning from 1988 until 2001, and then their own Channel 4 chat show Richard & Judy from 2001 to 2009, before embarking on separate professional commitments

Judy said: “We are incredibly close, we always have been. Obviously, I think working together for so long has bonded us more tightly than if we had two completely separate jobs.” She then explained that the magazine format of the shows they used to front gave both her and her husband of nearly 40 years an “instinct” they’ll never shake off.

She said: “I think the thing is, when you’re presenting a show like the kind that we presented, it’s very instinctive, you’re doing interviews all the time. By the time I decided I’d had enough, you and I were something completely different anyway, it just didn’t matter, it didn’t make any difference at all.

The couple have two children, Chloe, 37, and son Jack, 38. Richard is also step-father to Judy’s twins Dan and Tom, from her previous marriage to David Henshaw. The pair first met on Richard’s very first day working at Granada and they quickly became close, and have been together since 1986.
