Vicki Michelle

Michelle has been broadcasting a weekly chat show on Brentwood radio station Phoenix FM since October 2017, with celebrity guests including Harry Redknapp, John Challis, Ray Cooney, Linda Lusardi and Robin Askwith.

In 2015, Michelle was a guest on Big Brother's Bit on the Side and feared she could have been blinded after being hit on the back of the head with a champagne glass thrown by Farrah Abraham during a fight between Abraham and Aisleyne Horgan-Wallace. She later pressed charges.

In 2014, Michelle returned to the stage in the hit play Hello Norma Jeane at London's King's Head Theatre, where she took on the role of an Essex grandma who claims to be Marilyn Monroe.

In 2012, Michelle was executive producer of the film based on the Ray Cooney theatrical production Run for Your Wife.

Michelle was appointed Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) in the 2010 Birthday Honours for services to charity.

After spending much of 2008 on tour with the 'Allo 'Allo! stage show, Michelle took a break to pursue various other projects, including appearing as the Wicked Queen in a pantomime production of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs at the Hull New Theatre. She rejoined the cast of 'Allo 'Allo! in March 2009, reprising her role as the waitress Yvette. Michelle made several appearances in the ITV soap opera Emmerdale as Patricia Foster, mother of Jonny Foster – a role which she reprised for two episodes in early 2009.

In 2007, she appeared in a Children in Need special of Hotel Babylon and, the following year, appeared on the BBC cookery programme Celebrity MasterChef. She played the role of Amanda Newman in the 2010 TV film Resentment, and she was Deborah Whitton in the 2013 romantic comedy The Callback Queen.

In the early 1980s she appeared in some high-profile advertisements for Harp Lager. Also at this time she had small parts in Minder episode Don't Tell Them Willie Boy Was Here, as Sarah-Jane and the hard-hitting police drama The Professionals, in which she played Tina, the girlfriend of a crime boss in the episode The Untouchables.

Her father was a fish-trader and her mother an actress. She attended Knewnham Junior School in Wanstead and West Hatch High School. After O-levels she stayed on at school to complete a secretarial course. Hoping to become a ballet dancer she joined the Aida Foster stage school. Her sister is the actress and writer Ann Michelle, with whom she appeared in Virgin Witch (1971).

Michelle was given small television roles while still at stage school, the first being in Dixon of Dock Green. She appeared in big-screen versions of popular English sitcoms The Likely Lads and George and Mildred, and played alongside her sister Ann Michelle in the British horror film Virgin Witch and with Joan Collins in Alfie Darling, the sequel to Alfie. She also appeared regularly in the 1970s children's BBC TV series Crackerjack.
