Summary
Victoria Ekanoye stole the spotlight as Miranda Priestly, a chilling drug lord in Death in Paradise’s latest two-part thriller — and fans are buzzing she’s no stranger to drama. Before commanding villain roles, she dazzled as Angie Appleton on Coronation Street and played Rachel, the queen’s sharp-tongued aide, in The Royals. A musical theatre veteran, she even took on Nala in The Lion King on the West End. But her range goes beyond acting — she competed on The X Factor: Celebrity in 2019, finishing 11th under Nicole Scherzinger. With upcoming projects including BBC’s The Split Up, romantic drama As Bad as Me, and An English Christmas Wish, Ekanoye proves she’s a force to watch.
