Jonny played alongside her as Dixie in the comedy which also starred Martin Freeman and Maxine Peake.
Vicky and Jonny got engaged in December 2017. Vicky spoke to the Nottingham Post about her very casual proposal and said: "He popped the question over a cup of tea - we moved onto the bubbles by 8.30am." It transpires, he actually hid the ring where they keep the teabags!
In the summer of 2021, the couple revealed they were going to sponsor non-league Welsh side Merthyr Town and that their production company BYO Films would feature on the club's shorts for the 2021-22 season.

A report from The Mirror in 2019 said the actress was inspired to "join the fight against dementia" after losing her grandmother to the condition.
Vicky said of the show: “It’s all about love and memory, it struck a chord with me when my Nonna was diagnosed.
