Vick Hope is the latest presenter to join BBC One's Countryfile permanent line-up. You may already recognise her as a TV and radio presenter – but where from?
On joining the team, Vick says: “I’m delighted to be joining the Countryfile team – spending time in nature has always been hugely important to me so the chance to learn ever more about the world around us from such beautifully diverse perspectives and such a passionate mix of people who live and breathe country life across the UK will be so special and enriching.
“I grew up not too far from Kielder Forest which is where my first filming will take place, and have fond memories of orienteering there as a child; the opportunity to return and champion an area that has meant so much to me as my first assignment is an incredible full circle moment - I can’t wait.”
