Hollyoaks’ Vicky Grant is set to discover an unexpected secret amid her worrying new health story.
In last week’s scenes, Vicky attended a photoshoot audition with model scout Miles, with the hope of booking a job in London.
After Miles called Vicky “curvy” and asked her to lose weight, it was revealed that her sister Gemma had secretly paid the scout to sabotage the job.
At the end of the episode, a tearful Vicky was seen ordering weight-loss injections following her negative experience.
In the past few weeks, Prince has also struggled with his appearance and was recently seen ordering steroids after being targeted by a dealer.
He later changed his mind, and tried to return the drugs to the dealer. However, Prince was arrested and taken in for questioning for being caught with a large quantity of steroids.

In scenes set to air next week, Vicky is still feeling insecure about her appearance after the modelling audition. As a result, she forces herself to go on a run to clear her head.
When Prince accidentally startles her, Vicky spirals into a panic attack. Prince then reminds her that he is there for her and she can always talk to him.
Following her panic attack, Vicky heads to the McQueen house to apologise to Prince for her earlier coldness.
