The brand new ITV drama will give viewers a fascinating insight into the heart-stopping world of counter-terrorism policing.
Wanting to come across as authentic as possible, the Line of Duty star said she wanted her character to come across as not wanting to “make a big deal” about the way she looks.
Discussing her character Lana ‘Wash’ Washington, Vicky told the Radio Times: “I wore a crop top instead of an actual bra. I didn’t want the character to make a big deal about the way she looks. She is real and human.”
Vicky said this is something that she wants to bring to her characters, giving them a sense of relatability and realism.
She added: “I do feel a slight sense of responsibility. There is so much pressure on people, especially via social media.
“I would like to put some kind of message out there, showing people that you don’t really need make-up.
“I think it’s important to strip things back and be comfortable. I mean, my body isn’t fully toned – people will see the real Vicky, as well as Lana – I’m not hiding anything.’
Vicky has become a household name in recent years thanks to her role as Kate Flemming in hit police drama Line Of Duty.

Vicky admitted she would be open to reprising her role as straight-talking the Detective Inspector, should show creator Jed Mercurio opt to produce a seventh series.
She told The Guardian: “I don’t know, there’s no word of it. I think we’ve all been really honest and said should that happen, we’re all game.
“I’ll just stick with the guys. I think when it comes to a close, it will be a natural close for us all.”
