BBC Radio 1 presenter Vick Hope has shared a jaw-dropping revelation about her ex-boyfriend, Calvin Harris. The DJ reportedly sent her placenta pills after their breakup, sparking a conversation about the extreme lengths celebrities go to in the name of wellness.
Hope, 34, recounted the bizarre incident during an interview, describing how Harris, 40, had his own placenta turned into supplements after the birth of their child. "He sent me some pills made from his placenta," she revealed. "I was like, 'What is happening?'"
The Placenta Pill Trend
Placenta encapsulation—a practice where new mothers consume their placenta in pill form—has gained traction among celebrities, with advocates claiming benefits like increased energy and reduced postpartum depression. However, medical experts remain sceptical, citing a lack of scientific evidence.

Hope also touched on other extreme wellness trends popular among stars, including placenta smoothies, IV vitamin drips, and cryotherapy. "It’s wild what people will do for a quick fix," she remarked.
The presenter, who now hosts Going Home with Vick and Jordan, admitted she’s not immune to trying unusual remedies herself but drew the line at Harris’s placenta pills. "I’ll stick to green juice," she joked.
