Here's everything you need to know:

1. Did Vick Hope go to university?

   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.

   My bro, in all seriousness and disgust: 'What the hell, Vick! Four years at university and you don't know how to light a fire?!' Correct, G.

    From an early age - 10 years old, in fact - Vick was asked to be the face of Childline.
