Victoria Sugden
Victoria Sugden
DOB: 31 March 1994
Marital Status: Single
Address: Annie's Cottage
Occupation: Schoolgirl
First arrived
Victoria has been a part of Emmerdale since her birth in 1994. She was born with a heart defect and when she had to undergo an operation, parents Jack and Sarah feared she would die, but thankfully she pulled through.
Character reference
A willful teenager, Victoria's life has been marred by tragedy from the very start. Her parents split up then mum Sarah died in an arson attack, which adopted brother Andy was responsible for. Victoria was involved in one of Emmerdale's most dramatic scenes in 2007 when she was in the truck which crashed into the lake. She lives in Annie's Cottage with dad Jack and step-mum Diane.
Love life
Following the trauma of the house collapse at the King's River development, Jack decided to send Victoria away during summer 2006 to visit her grandma in Spain. When she returned, Victoria was twice as grown up - and twice as much trouble. The main focus in her life became boys and she even managed to pull a 16-year-old called Enrique and get herself a tattoo.
Jack was horrified that his little girl had grown up so fast and tried everything he could to control her, but Victoria proved to be a real handful.
Victoria is now more likely to give a lad a black eye and get into a fight with him than go on a date. In July 2007 she went on an outdoor pursuits trip with her school and developed a crush on hunky tutor Christian. But when he told her the trip would involve canoeing, this brought back traumatic memories of crashing into the lake in the truck with Billy Hopwood and Victoria panicked. She hit Christian with a paddle and was suspended from school.
Memorable scene
When Diane was diagnosed with colon cancer, Victoria proved to be her rock and delivered the shocking news to the congregation at her dad's wedding.
