She Reflected

Hope opened up about the effect the pandemic had on her in an interview with Evening Standard. She says that she used the time to do a lot of reflection. "When you can't go outside, you're forced to look inwards instead, and I've found we've all been very reflective, unpacking the effects of the past year while working out the ways we can move forward with what we've learned about the world and about ourselves. My priorities have certainly shifted."

She Makes Time For Herself

Hope has a busy career, but she always makes time for herself. She tells Evening Standard that her secret is prioritizing herself. "I work weekends, and then find that during the week you feel guilty for taking time to chill out because no-one else is doing it, especially while we're all working from home and our boundaries between work, rest and play are so blurred. It's less 'working from home', more 'living at work' right now and that ain't healthy. So I stick an hour or so a day in my diary that has to be put aside for a walk, or to read without my phone or laptop nearby, or decide on a time by which to wrap and ensure that as soon as the clock strikes I properly switch off and draw a line under the day with a bath, glass of wine or some telly."

She's True To Herself

Hope says that she is true to herself and that this has helped with her career. "My advice is to work out what you believe in, what you stand for, and what makes you unique and be proud of that, work with that," she tells Evening Standard. "I spent a long time dampening down parts of my character, education and emotions because I didn't think it fitted the mould of a youth TV and radio presenter, when in fact harnessing my weirdness, nerdiness and sensitivity is what makes me able to bring lightness to difficult subjects, something so crucial for Life Hacks on Radio 1, the show that feels so comfortable its like I've found a home."

She Dances

Hope loves to dance as a way of staying in shape, and as a way of staying well. She tells Grazia,  "Even if it's just putting on a great playlist (I strongly suggest sticking Lizzo and Beyonce on for optimal feel-good factor) and having a good old dance around your house, it gets you moving and gets the endorphins going. There are some brilliant dance workout videos online too, which are free for you to watch on YouTube and you can follow at home, so even though we're not going out at the moment, you can have a party in your living room!

She Uses Face Masks

Hope says that she likes to use face masks to keep her skin looking good. She tells Grazia that her favorite is, "REN's Evercalm Ultra Comforting Rescue Mask, £32, which seems to do the trick no matter what state my skin is in. It calms redness during breakouts, but also soothes dryness and just gives an all round plumping glow. It's like a hug in a face mask!"
