The Line of Duty star, 42, appeared on the BBC programme alongside frontman Jon McClure, 43, and actor Sam Claflin, 39, where they joined hosts Alex Jones, 48, and Clara Amfo, 41, on the sofa for a lively chat.
However, it was the unexpected musical moment at the end of the show that really got fans talking.
Vicky joined Jon and the band on stage for a performance of their latest track Haircut, which dropped on July 18 – and she didn’t disappoint.
For the performance, the actress cut a stylish figure in a black tailored jumpsuit featuring velour panels and wide-leg trousers.
She completed the look with a pair of silver platform heels as she confidently belted out the energetic tune.
Following her incredible performance, fans took to the social media platform X (formerly Twitter) in droves to praise the star.
One gushed: ‘Yessss @Reverend_Makers and @Vicky_McClure on @BBCTheOneShow tonight! Love this tune, proper dancing music (dancing and love heart emojis) need more Rev on’t telly.’;
‘Brilliant! That was absolutely brilliant. It’s such a bloody good song. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️.’; ‘Tuned in just for this! Love @Reverend_Makers and love @Vicky_McClure ❤️.’
Last month, the TV star announced to her Instagram followers that she would be joining the band Reverend and The Makers on their new track.
In a collaboration post, the band teased their new music video, which shows Vicky and the Reverend and The Makers lead singer Jon performing on stage.
They captioned the post: ‘HERE IT IS. TV legend @vicky.mcclure singing on record for the first time ever.’
‘Some words from Vicky “I’m no Whitney (laughing emoji) but i love music. Making this with Jon & Rev was such a chilled experience. All i hope is you enjoy it, sing and dance along”.’
‘HAIRCUT is out July 18th but you can presave now using the link in the Rev bio.’
The rock band also revealed in another post that Vicky’s husband, Jonathan Owen, plays the bass on their new hit single.
However, it’s not the first time the actress has dabbled in the music world.
She previously fronted the BBC’s Our Dementia Choir documentary, which aired in 2018.
The two-part series followed the acclaimed actress as she embarked on a deeply personal journey to explore the true power of music in combatting dementia.
In the documentary, filmed in 2018, she formed a choir in her hometown of Nottingham made up entirely of people living with dementia, aiming to discover whether music could make a measurable difference in their lives.
Formed during the documentary, Our Dementia Choir is still going strong, coming together to sing and share powerful performances with audiences across the country.
