She has forged a successful acting career, most notably in Shane Meadows’ coming-of-age drama This Is England (2006) and its follow-up mini-series, including This Is England ’90.‌Her performance as Lol in This Is England ’86 earned Vicky an RTS Award and the BAFTA Television Award for Best Actress in 2011. She has also appeared in Filth and Wisdom, Hummingbird and Svengali, as well as the drama The Replacement.‌Another notable role is as Met Police bomb disposal officer Lana Washington in ITV drama Trigger Point. The series returns tonight for its fourth run, also starring Julie Graham, Eric Shango and Nabil Elouahabi as Danny and Hass, Natalie Simpson as DS Helen Morgan, and Maanuv Thiara as DCI Batra.‌Audiences are in for a fast-paced, suspense-filled series. But Vicky has revealed the shoot took its toll, saying she was "knackered" after the physically demanding scenes.Speaking to Bella magazine, she revealed: "I was knackered! There's a lot of running on Trigger Point, and I've made it quite clear that I don't go to the gym, but I do enjoy being active, and I just knuckle down as much as I can to make the stunts look realistic."‌Although she describes herself as "young-ish", Vicky admitted she didn’t see herself taking on action-packed roles in her early 40s. She said she’s "proud", adding she'll always "have a go" and promising viewers some "wild explosions" ahead.Recording during Britain's scorching heatwaves presented additional difficulties. "I try to make sure we have a happy set. I did make sure we had ice cream trucks every now and then, but it was a hot shoot."Weirdly, it kind of adds to the show... when you're filming big explosions and catastrophes in the heat of the London summer, it adds to that sense of pressure."‌Vicky says the programme's future depends on the audience. And if a fifth series is commissioned, she said the team would need to make it "even bigger and better" - as viewers "deserve".Vicky has also hinted at what viewers can expect from Julie’s new character, Commander Nia Quentin. She told Digital Spy that Julie arrives and "commands the room"Article continues below"Lana quickly identifies that, and feels that she's possibly in the safest hands she's been in, because the red tape that falls down in front of her just crushes any sort of decision that she wants to make."Sometimes she goes: 'I'm just gonna ignore that because people could die.' Whereas there is a very quick belief that Julie's character has faith in Lana. If you have faith in her, then she will react accordingly and that's what we pick up on quite quickly."Catch Trigger Point on ITV tonight (Sunday, August 30) from 9pm to 10pm.
