The announcement comes just after Sophie joined Jamie in presenting his Radio 1 drive time show when his co-star Vick Hope left 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.

Sophie and Jamie 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.’ 

Jamie’s public appearance at the festival comes after he surprised his close pal Sam Thompson with a motivational facetime call as he prepares for day four of his 260-mile endurance challenge.
