Chatting on This Morning in early August, Eamonn Holmes asked: "When season six resumes, I don't know how much you know but is the premise very much to discover who H is?" To which Vicky replied: "I haven't seen the last scripts, so I don't know as of yet…" She then wittily added: "Which is great because I'm in an interview and I can't really say much about it anyway!" We'll just have to wait and see!
