Jamie Laing is set to be joined by a very familiar face as his Radio 1 co-host Vick Hope heads on maternity leave. 

Vick, 35, who is expecting her first child with DJ Calvin Harris, 41, hosted her last show on the station last week.

It has now been revealed that she will be replaced by none other than Jamie’s wife Sophie Habboo for the Going Home show. 

The couple already host their podcast NewlyWeds together – with the duo recently revealing it would be going on a break. 

In an Instagram update last week, they announced: ‘The podcast is taking a break?! We’re pressing pause but only for a moment.’

A source later told The Sun: ‘Sophie is joining the Radio 1 family and everyone is really excited that she’ll be bringing her chemistry with hubby Jaime to the airwaves.

‘They’re already pros after doing their podcast for so many years but this is a huge moment for them and they can’t wait. 

‘It could lead to endless opportunities for them as a couple. They could even be a modern day Richard and Judy.’ 

Following the announcement of her pregnancy, Vick was flooded with support from the Radio 1 team.

Her co-presenter, Jamie took the opportunity to tell her she will make a fantastic mum on air.

Jamie said: ‘You’re an amazing friend, an amazing person, and you’re just going to be an amazing mum.’

Vick and Calvin’s baby is set to have an interesting start to life, with the pair owning several homes, including a farm in Ibiza and a 10-acre estate in the Cotswolds.

The couple are reported to be in the process of building a mansion on their Cotswolds estate, which is reported to become their main place of residence.

The couple tied the knot in September 2023 and only just announced their impending arrival, choosing to keep their relationship largely out of the spotlight.

Vick stressed on air that she didn’t want to make a big deal out of her pregnancy.

She said: ‘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’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.’
