Vicky is a moody, obnoxious teenage girl seemingly incapable of doing much of anything except gossiping (in a strong Bristolian accent). The sketches that feature her are set in a place called Darkley Noone, where she supposedly lives.

She is often seen as the ultimate television chav, and is usually dressed in a pink Kappa tracksuit. The style of hair which she wears is known as the Croydon facelift.
