The former 'Coronation Street' star - who played Janice Battersby in the soap from 1997 to 2011 - is currently enjoying a sun-soaked summer holiday, but it's not entirely going to plan.

On Tuesday (27.07.21), she tweeted: "Burnt my bum cheeks & bitten by a mosquito on my left boob!!

"This holiday is turning out to be rather dangerous!! (sic)"

Vicky has been making the most of her time by the pool, and over the weekend the star's husband Andrew Chapman described her as looking like "sweet and sour pork" after a sunbathing session.

She wrote: "Was a hot one today 33 degrees!! As you can see I chased the sun till the bitter end! I look like a raisin now! Or as hubby informed me SWEET & SOUR PORK!! (sic)"

Earlier this year, the 52-year-old actress explained she was "wore down" playing Janice by the end of her run on the cobbles.

She said: "'Corrie' was only the third job I’d done and you go from being yourself to this loud, obnoxious woman that’s showing up in half the country’s living rooms.

"I wasn’t prepared for the attention. It was like being dropped in the sea when you can’t really swim. By the time I left, I was desperate to find some peace. It was a brilliant job in so many ways but by the end, it was hard to know where Janice ended and I began. She was so feisty, it became physically exhausting to play her – hours on end shouting and screaming at people. I’d think at the end of filming, ‘How the hell am I going to drive home after all that?’ I’d have to go somewhere and calm myself down."
