Valerie Jackford is an osteopath who treated Miranda in the series 3 episode, The Dinner Party.
After suffering a back spasm in the play center, Miranda goes to an osteopath to work out the injury. The attending physician never introduces himself, and when he tells Miranda to strip to her underwear, she realizes she is not wearing any, so makes paper knickers from the exam table paper so that she can continue with her appointment. He seems a bit put off, but continues his work, ignoring all her jokes, and she caps the visit by farting prodigiously enough to blow out a candle.
When she later hosts a dinner party for Mike and his father, she is mortified to discover Mr Jackford is the same osteopath she'd seen earlier. He seems judgemental and humorless, and his dreadful attempts at humor, followed by a time delay laugh, puts everyone on edge. Penny in particular dislikes him, and everyone notices his bad toupee.
When he hears what the other guests think of him via the baby monitor in the other room, he tells Mike they are leaving. After Miranda's exasperated explanation of how she prefers to live, Mike says he is not leaving, and then tells Miranda that he's fallen in love with her.
