'Happiness is more important than being on telly all the time': Vick Hope gives a rare glimpse into her romance with Calvin Harris including their love of cooking and his thoughtful gifts
Vick Hope has spoken out on her low-key life with her fiancé Calvin Harris.
The Radio 1 star has been engaged to the superstar DJ for a year after he proposed just five months into their whirlwind romance.
The private pair rarely speak about their romance but in a new interview about her daily life with The Sunday Times, Vick has revealed the secrets to their blissful life at home together in London.
The happy couple split their time between Calvin's 138 acre Ibiza farm and their London pad, and while Vick often follows her fiancé around the world for his DJ work, she admits she loves their 'peaceful' London life.

Vick reveals the couple love to cook 'nutritious' food together in the evenings, with both sticking to an organic, vegetable-rich diet.
While their busy schedules mean they don't sit down to eat until 9:30pm, Vick says she loves that they take the time to cook and eat together and talk.
'Cooking something nutritious together without it feeling rushed is precious. I spent many years living on my own in a little flat in Hackney, east London.'
'I loved it but I was constantly rushing out or eating in front of the telly. Now I’ve found a bit more of a rhythm and respect for how lovely that time can be.'
Vick also reveals that thoughtful Calvin recently bought her a set of watercolours to indulge her love of painting. 'I’ve been taking them everywhere with me and painting flowers and birds, which makes me so happy,' she gushes.
Life with Calvin over the past year has shifted Vick's priorities in life she admits, explaining: 'I’ve still got lots of career goals but now I also have strong aspirations in my personal life.'
'I want to have a life that is peaceful and happy, surrounded by loved ones, and make time for them,' she admits of her changing priorities.
'These things were never high on my list of priorities before, but they have taken over now. That’s more important than being on the telly all the time.'

Calvin proposed to Vick with a huge diamond ring underneath a tree at his 138 acre Ibiza farm, Terra Masia after a five month romance.
Recent reports claim that the couple are set to marry in an intimate ceremony this year.
Sharing that it's set to be a low-key celebration, a source told The Sun: 'Calvin and Vick have kept their relationship out of the public eye for the most part, so aren’t having a massive wedding to parade their love in front of the world.
'Instead they want it to be a much more intimate and simple day,' added the insider.
The source continued that they are hoping to make the day special and so it will be for the couple's nearest and dearest only.

Vick recently revealed their love story actually goes all the way back to the early noughties when she was 19 - with the radio host rejecting Calvin's advances when he was an up and coming DJ.
She said Calvin first made a move on her when he was enjoying his first flush of success with his hit Acceptable in the 80s back in 2007 - but she turned him down at the time.
'It's something that we laughed about on our first proper date. We still laugh about it now', she told You Magazine.
Calvin went on to become one of the highest paid disk jockeys/producers, racking up an estimated £200-plus million fortune, with Vick previously admitting she was 'shallow' and had no idea he would turn into 'an Adonis'.
