“How do we do this? I’ve been singing Amy’s praises and rightly so because she has just come in to this family and to this iconic show, and she’s taken to it so brilliantly. It could have been something that was so difficult and she’s dealt with it very well indeed.

“To work with her, she’s just so lovely.” Vicky went on: “I get the best job because I get to go on set and it’s a load of fun. It is tricky but it’s an interesting story to tell.” Vicky teased we could learn more about those years prior to Becky’s fake death, and before she met Carla – or at least she hopes this will be the case.

She shared: “The backstory to that and the relationship, we get an opportunity to actually explore their relationship because there’s 20 years of history before she met Carla. So what happened between them?

She joked: “I’ve not been to the gym for quite some time so it’s actually giving me a bit of a workout. It’s surreal to be stood here. I’m not putting them down.”

Vicky also took the moment to credit her fans for her awards, joking “same time next year” as she dropped hints of “exciting” things on the way. She said: “To come in four years ago for four episodes as a guest role, to be holding these… the fans have done this, so thank you, thank you. Same time next year?”
