Death In Paradise cast: Victoria Ekanoye as Miranda Priestley
Plying the fearsome drugs runner Miranda Priestley is Victoria Ekanoye.
Victoria, 40, is known to millions thanks to her role as Angie Appleton.
Angie came to Weatherfield in 2017 thanks to her husband Jude, but struggled to settle.
And things were about to get worse for Angie – she found out that Jude had been lying to her about his profession as a marine biologist.
It was then she gave him the boot for good.
In 2019, Victoria took part in Celebrity X Factor.
She told Manchester Evening News at the time: “I’ve been singing since I was three or four and drove my mum mad.”
“Music and singing has always been my first love so it was amazing to be approached by the show.
“I was really, really excited.”
She finished in 11th place, although fans branded her as “talented beyond belief“.
Victoria’s breast cancer battle
Victoria’s world turned upside down when, last year, she found a lump in her left breast while feeding her baby son, Theo.
With breast cancer in her family – her mum was diagnosed at 41 and her sister at 38 – Victoria sought help quickly.
Two doctors gave her the all-clear, but after she sought a third opinion, cancerous cells were found in her milk ducts.
In December, Victoria underwent a double mastectomy.
She appeared on Loose Women to describe her decision to have the operation: “When I went for the biopsy I kind of just thought this would be the case.
