Here's everything you need to know:

    Well, that's a sure way to make us feel stupid, isn't it? Deciding to explore the world of "word", Vick studied Modern Language at the prestigious University of Cambridge, before hosting a show for MTV in Beunos Aires. Not bad, eh?

    She can also speak fluently in French, Spanish and Portuguese.

    Seriously.

  8. Vick has been all over the world on her travels

    If you've got a bucket list, you're going to have to do a hell of a lot to beat Vick's.

    She's also travelled the world with Red Bull, hosting their Flugtag and Soap Box Race.

  10. Ms Hope is also a big advocate for human rights...

    From an early age - 10 years old, in fact - Vick was asked to be the face of Childline. And even though her mother rejected the offer, that didn't stop Vick, who has gone on to become an Amnesty International ambassador, as well as a human rights activist, having worked with them since she was 16.

    Recently, Vick hosted the stage at the Women's March, which she claims is her proudest moment to date.
