Alfie (ventriloquist doll)

Alfie was a ventriloquists doll of Victoria Sugden in 2004. Victoria began talking through Alfie the ventriloquist doll in April 2004 after she witnessed a kiss between her brother Robert and her other brother Andy's wife Katie. After Robert realised Victoria witnessed his and Katie's kiss, he threatened his little sister. Robert scared Victoria into not talking, except through Alfie for a few days. Victoria's father Jack was scared of what had happened to Victoria and threw Alfie against a wall and broke him in anger. That night Victoria confessed to Diane Blackstock what she witnessed and began talking again.
