Former Corrie actress proud of Happy Valley soap family after starring in Vera in clash of the drama titans
It was dubbed by fans as the "clash of the drama titans" as the Happy Valley finale on BBC One went head-to-head with Vera on ITV1 on Sunday night . As DCI Vera Stanhope, played by Brenda Blethyn, cracked another difficult case in the North East, Yorkshire crime fighter Sergeant Catherine Cawood, played by Sarah Lancashire, was having the ultimate retirement day.
There was a shock in store for viewers, including Victoria's nearest and dearest, as her supportive character turned out to be a ruthless killer who had strangled Conn with his own scarf after she found him after he had been attacked near the nightclub where she was working. It was a far cry from her soap role as doting mum Angie from 2017 to 2019.
She moved to London at 18 to pursue her love of acting which landed her a role on stage in the West End musical The Lion King. It was a lifetime ambition to star in Coronation Street after acting out pretend soap scenes as a child growing up in Greater Manchester, and she's proud to be part of the Corrie family along with Happy Valley star Sarah, who shot to fame as Weatherfield icon Raquel Wolstenholme.
