CALVIN Harris and Vick Hope’s whirlwind romance shows no sign of slowing down.
Superstar DJ Calvin and Radio 1 host Vick got engaged in May, after just five months as an item — and now they are planning their big day for later this year.
I’ve learned they have been hard at work organising their wedding, which will go ahead in the coming months.
The guest list is expected to be tight, although a few close showbiz pals including Vick’s co-host Jordan North are believed to have been invited.
A source said: “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.
“They have been planning it for months and everything is now coming together.
“They want it to be a really special occasion for themselves and their nearest and dearest.”
Calvin has a busy summer, though, with a packed schedule of shows including a weekly residency in Ibiza from late May till the end of August.
Yesterday, Vick flew to California to be with Calvin, where he will play a huge set tomorrow night at US festival Coachella.
Asked in October if they had set a date for their wedding, Vick said: “You know what, I was overwhelmed by the interest in it but I’m keeping my private life private.
“I’ve never experienced ‘this’ before about my private life, but it’s just for us.”
Candlelight
Last month it was revealed the couple had moved into a £7.5million home in North London together.
But clearly they have been too busy planning their nuptials to properly decorate their pad.
Asked in a recent interview what’s on her bedside table, Vick said: “A huge beeswax pillar candle.

My partner and I just moved house and haven’t sorted our bedside light situation yet so I’m reading by candlelight. I like it and a part of me is like, ‘Let’s never sort out the lights’.”
BRIT’S TELL-ALL BOOK
BRITNEY Spears’ long-awaited autobiography is finally finished and will be published this autumn.
The book, which is yet to be given a title, has been written with the help of Sam Lansky, an acclaimed author and journalist who has profiled artists including Madonna and Adele.
Sources in the US have said it will cover her most vulnerable moments including her relationship with Justin Timberlake, the moment she shaved her head, and her controversial conservatorship.
It will also detail how she came to find happiness with her husband, actor Sam Asghari.
GIGI LOOK IS NOT SO CHIC
I’M no fashion guru but it looked to me like Gigi Hadid had raided a lost and found box for this outfit.
The model, who can usually be seen strutting down a catwalk in designer clobber, wore an old shirt and cut-off denim shorts as she popped out to get ice cream with a pal in New York.
Gigi, who turns 28 next weekend, will be hoping someone will send her some more flattering clothes.
There’s another special occasion which she is likely to get more dressed up for – a dinner party hosted by Taylor Swift.
Speaking about her pal to InStyle this week, Gigi said: “Taylor Swift is an exceptional cook, and I love her.
“She also makes a really good bolognese sauce and a really good chilli that I love.”
ELLIE Goulding has achieved the chart double.
Her new album Higher Than Heaven went straight to No1 – her fourth chart-topping album – while Ellie’s single, Miracle, with Calvin Harris, is top of the singles’ chart for a second week.
She told Official Charts: “I’m so, so happy to be holding these two awards for No1 album and No1 single.
“I’m speechless. This has made me so happy.”
Bey tour rehearsal is such a big, big deal
BEYONCE has spent a fortune renting Europe’s largest indoor arena to rehearse her upcoming Renaissance world tour.
I can reveal she has been holed up at the La Defense Arena in Paris which has a concert capacity for 40,000 seats – double that of London’s O2 Arena.
A music insider said of Bey’s tour: “The structure for the stage is gigantic and on a totally different scale from any other tour right now – that’s why she needed a huge venue to rehearse in.
“And she can’t run through the show in any of the stadiums she is performing in because they aren’t soundproofed and people would hear what she was preparing.
“She is on top form and is pulling out all the stops to make this a truly groundbreaking tour.”
It will kick off on May 10, in Swedish capital Stockholm, ahead of dates in Cardiff, Edinburgh, Sunderland and London.
OWEN FINDS A REAL JEM
OWEN Warner went Down Under for I’m A Celebrity and has now found love with the daughter of one of Australia’s biggest stars.
The actor, who came second on the hit ITV show last year, shared these photos on Instagram as he confirmed he is dating his Hollyoaks co-star Jemma Donovan, whose dad is Especially For You singer Jason.
The couple have jetted off on a romantic getaway to Mallorca together where they shared this photo.
And clearly Owen has got the seal of approval from the Aussie star himself. Jason commented: “Gorgeous.”
Good for them.
Dua podcast line-up so stylish with Eilish
DUA Lipa is bringing back her hit podcast At Your Service with a special guest – Billie Eilish.
She has previously interviewed Sir Elton John and Sir Mo Farah for it but has big plans for the upcoming third run.
Speaking at a fan event to celebrate the first birthday of her Service95 newsletter, Dua said: “I recorded an episode last night with a super-force in music, Billie Eilish.
“It was very fun. I am super-excited about that.
“We have so many incredible guests this season that I have been lucky to speak to.”
The Levitating singer also opened up about the women who have inspired her career, including Oprah Winfrey, Reese Witherspoon and Dolly Parton.
Dua said: “All of these women inspire me deeply.
“I love Dolly. She is such an icon with her music, but also as a philanthropist.
“All the things she advocates for are really powerful.”
TAY’S SWIFT CHANGE
TAYLOR Swift subtly changed her tour on Thursday night in reference to her split from Joe Alwyn.
During the shows, her song Everything Has Changed – all about a happy relationship – plays while she goes offstage before reappearing for her next “era”.
But at her latest concert in Florida, she instead used 2012 tune Holy Ground, in which she looks back on a failed relationship.
However, she seems to be doing all right, because later in the show she flexed her bicep and gave it a kiss to signify she was staying strong.
The Swifties will be pleased.
