Vicki Michelle to press charges after being injured in CBB glass-throwing fracas

'Allo 'Allo actress Vicki Michelle is to press charges after suffering injuries when she was hit by a champagne glass during a TV panel show, her agent told ITV News.

It comes after she revealed she suffered whiplash and concussion after being hit in the back of the head, and said she feared she could have been blinded.

Paul Pearson, of agency London Theatrical, confirmed to ITV News that the 64-year-old actress would be pursuing legal action against those involved in the incident.

Michelle is believed to have been caught in the crossfire when tensions flared between former Big Brother contestant Aisleyne Horgan-Wallace and American reality TV star Farrah Abraham, as they all sat on a panel for Celebrity Big Brother spin-off Bit On The Side.

Hertfordshire Police are investigating the incident at Elstree Studios in north London, which forced Channel 5 bosses to take the show off-air 10 minutes early.

Speaking to the Daily Mirror, Michelle said the glass had been thrown by Abraham.

She claimed Horgan-Wallace had thrown her drink over her and Abraham after Abraham called her a "hag", prompting the glass-throwing.

It was only when fellow panellist Janice Dickinson threw a chair at Abraham that she stopped, Michelle claimed.

She was checked over by paramedics at the scene and later given an MRI, she said.

A publicist for Abraham told the Mirror that the TV personality had been "assaulted twice" and had received medical attention for her injuries.

They declined to name her attacker.

A spokesman for Hertfordshire Police said officers were trying to establish exactly what happened and would release further details when appropriate.

A Channel 5 spokesman said an investigation was underway.
