Jamie Laing will be welcoming a familiar face as his Radio 1 co-host, Vick Hope, goes on maternity leave.
Radio 1's Going Home show will see a temporary change as host Vick Hope prepares for maternity leave. Jamie Laing's spouse, Sophie Habboo, has been tapped to fill in for the duration of Ms. Hope's absence.
The expectant mother, 35, who shares her new chapter with DJ Calvin Harris, 41, presented her final show on the station last week. The Sun reports that the dynamic duo's chemistry will be extended to the airwaves, with Sophie joining the Radio 1 family.
Jamie Laing and Sophie Habboo, who have enjoyed a successful run with their podcast, NewlyWeds, are said to be eager for this new opportunity. A source shared, "This is a huge moment for them, and they can't wait. It could lead to endless opportunities for them as a couple."
The news of her pregnancy was met with an outpouring of support from the Radio 1 team. Jamie Laing, her co-presenter, expressed his admiration for Vick, stating, "You're an amazing friend, an amazing person, and you're just going to be an amazing mum."
Vick and Calvin are preparing for an intriguing start to their impending parenthood, possessing a range of properties, including a farm in Ibiza and a 10-acre estate in the Cotswolds. Reports suggest that the couple are building a mansion on their Cotswolds estate, which may serve as their primary residence.
Vick and Calvin married in September 2023 and have chosen to keep their relationship out of the limelight, only recently unveiling their upcoming parenthood. Vick underscored her desire to keep her pregnancy personal, saying, "This is not an announcement. I've never been that big on sharing."
