What happened to Vick Hope’s hand?

VICK Hope has risen to fame through her TV and radio career.

The star often shares private parts of her life while working - and in October 2022 revealed what happened to her hand.

What happened to Vick Hope's hand?

Vick Hope has revealed how she lost half her finger during a childhood incident.

The radio star told Keith Lemon and Jordan North, while appearing on Shopping With Keith Lemon, that the accident happened when she was just three-years-old.

She said that one finger was severed off when she tried to hug a statue while on a trip to Zimbabwe.

The accident affected the ring finger on her right hand.

What has Vick Hope said about her missing finger?

After being asked "What's the craziest thing you used to do as a kid?" Vick explained the story of what happened to her finger.

She said: "Well yeah, I lost a finger. You don't even notice.

"I was in Zimbabwe in a shop and there were all these little statues of Pygmy warriors and I was like 'I want to be their friend'.

"I went to give one a hug and it fell against another one, scissored, and chopped it straight off."

Keith asked Vick if she ever felt conscious of her hands when she was younger and especially in her school years, to which she said that she subconsciously hides it when she holds things.

She said: "When I hold things I automatically do this."

She then picked up a pack of hair bands and showed how she hides her finger.

Vick added: "I subconsciously hide it."

During her time on Strictly, Vick revealed that the accident meant she struggled to click her fingers.

Vick said: "I've got quite stiff fingers.

"I chopped one off when I was little by accident.

"So not only am I learning how to dance, I'm learning how to click."

When was Vick Hope on Strictly Come Dancing?

It was announced that Vick would be taking part in the 16th series of the BBC's Strictly Come Dancing back in 2018.

The TV star danced alongside professional dancer Graziano Di Prima.

The pair left the show fourth when they went up against fellow contestants Seann Walsh and Katya Jones in the dance off.

At the time Vick's cha cha cha failed to impress the judges.

Craig Revel Horwood said it was "quite a disaster" while head judge Shirley Ballas said it wasn’t her "cup of tea".
