I don't think her skin looks that much better to be honest.
Also I totally get the controlling vibes from Alex. I know someone who knew them said on here that she cheated on him (a long time ago) I feel like they just are so bad for eachother. She walks on eggshells to not upset him. He restricts her diet and makes her drive him around. Vicky annoys me but she deserves better than him, I think she's settled bc she wanted to be a Mrs.
