Vick Hope To Join BBC One's Countryfile

BBC Factual has announced that TV and radio presenter Vick Hope is to join BBC One’s Countryfile as a permanent presenter, alongside regular presenters John Craven, Matt Baker, Anita Rani, Adam Henson, Hamza Yassin, Sean Fletcher, Sammi Kinghorn, Margherita Taylor, Charlotte Smith, Joe Crowley, Tom Heap and Datshiane Navanayagam.
Vick said: "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."
Vick’s first assignment will be to join Matt Baker in exploring Kielder Forest in Northumberland as it embarks on a transformative journey. They discover how this vast wilderness is being reimagined for the future, ensuring a thriving habitat for wildlife whilst enhancing life for the local community.
Vick will also join the team at the Kielder Salmon Centre, getting some hands-on experience with a crucial task - collecting juvenile freshwater pearl mussels.
