Former X Factor sensation Diana Vickers has sent shockwaves through her fanbase by revealing her latest cinematic venture - a role she describes as both "disgusting" and potentially her career best.
From Pop Stages to Psychological Thrillers
The 33-year-old performer, who first captured the nation's heart on the 2008 series of The X Factor, is trading musical notes for psychological notes in the unsettling new film 'The F**k It Bucket'. Vickers portrays Amber, a dental nurse whose seemingly innocent exterior masks a deeply manipulative and unsettling personality.
'Gross' Character Transformation
In an exclusive interview, Vickers didn't hold back about her character's disturbing nature. "She's gross," the actress stated bluntly. "Amber appears sweet and lovely on the surface, but she's actually a manipulative, calculated individual who enjoys creating chaos in people's lives."
The Blackburn-born star explained that the role required her to explore darker emotional territories than ever before. "There's something fascinating about playing someone who derives pleasure from other people's misery," Vickers revealed. "It challenged me as an actor in ways I hadn't experienced before."
A Career-Defining Performance
Despite the character's unsettling qualities, Vickers believes this might be her finest work to date. "I've never felt so immersed in a role," she shared. "The psychological complexity of Amber forced me to dig deeper than I have in any previous project, whether that was musical theatre or television."
The film, which wrapped production recently, explores themes of manipulation and emotional warfare in everyday settings. Vickers' character uses her position as a dental nurse to infiltrate people's lives, turning mundane situations into psychological battlegrounds.
Embracing Challenging Material
Vickers' enthusiasm for the project was palpable as she discussed the filming process. "When I read the script, I knew immediately that I had to be part of this project," she said. "It's rare to find roles with this much depth and complexity, especially for female characters."
The actress, who has previously starred in West End productions and television dramas, believes this role represents a significant turning point in her career. "It's exactly the kind of challenging material I've been seeking," Vickers explained. "I want to keep pushing boundaries and surprising audiences."
'The F**k It Bucket' is expected to premiere in UK cinemas early next year, marking what could be a career-defining moment for the multi-talented performer.
