Creamfields North 2023: who is Vick Hope, the fiancée of tonight’s headliner Calvin Harris?

Creamfields North 2023 resumes this morning after two days of dance music and a throwback to the era of the superclub have already concluded. Today however looks to be a incredibly clustered series of performances and, unfortunately, some difficult performance choices due to set time clashes

One of those performances that’s causing such a dilemma is this evening’s headliner, Calvin Harris, a welcome return to the scene after his stint in the United States hosting a residency in Las Vegas. A career decision he believes almost killed his DJing and music producing as a result, in an interview with The Sun.

“One million per cent. It was unreal. No tunes were being made. I was there at least every week, playing. It got to the point where I was there a little too much. I got tired of it.” Harris was reportedly paid £1m per show during his residency at Hakkasan and Omnia at Caeser’s Palace. He admitted later in the interview he took to growing fruit and vegetables while trying to overcome his creative block.

But festival attendees will be glad to see Harris back behind the decks and no doubt in good form; such has the confidence seem to be restored for the DJ that he’s just completed his at the “mecca” of clubland culture, Ibiza, only last night. 

We would imagine Calvin Harris is perhaps winding down some of his performance dates, as he is set to marry British TV presenter Vick Hope in what is said to be an “intimate” ceremony in Ibiza… could that private event have already taken place then?

Who is Vick Hope?

Victoria Nwayawu Nwosu Hope, who we all know as Vick Hope, was born on September 25, 1989. She is a prominent British TV and radio presenter, accomplished journalist, and published author. 

As a radio personality, Vick Hope is a familiar voice on BBC Radio 1, where she hosts multiple shows each week. "Going Home with Vick and Jordan" is co-hosted alongside Jordan North, while she also takes charge of "Life Hacks" and "Official Chart: First Look," alongside Katie Thistleton. Vick's prowess earned her the title of the "voice of a generation" by the Sunday Times, following her arrival at BBC Radio 1 in 2020.

She presented the 2022 Women's Prize For Fiction podcast series, having previously served as a judge in the 2021 panel. The summer of 2022 witnessed her hosting her own television show, "Vick Hope's Breakfast Show," which aired on ITV every Sunday morning. She worked on a wide range of projects for television, including her tenure as the co-host of the Capital Breakfast show on Capital FM, where she shared the airwaves with Roman Kemp and Sonny Jay. 

Hope also showed her versatility by hosting shows like "Crufts" on Channel 4, "Carnage" on Sky One, and "Trending Live" on 4Music, to name a few. She's also familiar to many for her backstage hosting roles, such as with ITV's "The X Factor" and being the red carpet host of the 2020 BAFTA Film Awards.
