Speak with The mirrorVicky shared her love for the dramatic roles and the “dark kind of work,” but said she has no idea where her love for it started.
The Line Of Duty star said: “Some things [I do] It’s really dark and as an actor you can’t help but put yourself in their shoes and think about what that might feel like and how you might get to that place.
‘I think I do a lot of dramatic, dark work. God knows why! I always work hard and I enjoy what I do – I’m extremely lucky to be doing it.

Vicky stars as a successful career woman whose life begins to unravel when she suddenly stops sleeping in the upcoming thriller Insomnia.
She plays the lead role in the British drama based on the book of the same name by Sarah Pinborough.
The actress plays the character Emma, who fears she will go crazy when everything in her perfect life starts to go wrong.
Two weeks before her 40th birthday, she stops sleeping – just as her mother did just before she suffered a psychotic breakdown on the evening of her 40th birthday.
This leaves her in the grip of fear, as Emma’s mother Patricia Bournett (Corinna Marlowe) always said that Emma would end up like her because she has the same ‘bad blood’.
Emma’s world begins to fall apart and she realizes that the only way to stop herself from following in her mother’s footsteps is to dig into her painful past.
Vicky said what happens to Emma on the show is ‘extremely strange’, adding that some scenes are ‘heartbreaking’.
Insomnia is the latest British program to be distributed by Paramount+, following A Gentleman In Moscow, also a book adaptation.
