Strictly favourite ‘in secret wedding as she marries her boyfriend in star-studded bash’

'A truly beautiful day'

Former Strictly Come Dancing contestant Vick Hope has married her DJ boyfriend in a star-studded bash, according to news reports.

Radio presenter Vick, 33, was the fourth celebrity to be eliminated from the 2018 run of the BBC dance show. She was paired with pro Graziano di Prima for that series.

Vick memorably criticised her exit from Strictly as “very strange” after she and Graziano lost out in the dance off to comedian Seann Walsh and Katya Jones.

Now, reports claim, the Radio 1 DJ’s wedding bash had a music festival vibe.

However, The Sun reckons their wedding reception included a live performance by Nile Rodgers and Chic.

A firework display was also part of the celebrations – and guests could even reportedly stay over on the site in tents.

A source is reported to have told The Sun: “Calvin and Vick’s wedding was a day none of their guests will ever forget.

They didn’t stop smiling all day.

“Their vows were really emotional. They didn’t stop smiling all day. Calvin and Vick are so clearly madly in love, it was a truly beautiful day.”
