EastEnders' Vicki Michelle 'fluffed' lines FIVE times as she made soap debut

TV legend Vicki Michelle has revealed she was so nervous about making her EastEnders debut that she fluffed one of her lines five times.

The 72-year-old, famed for her role as Yvette Carte-Blanche in hit 1980s comedy ’Allo ’Allo!, has joined the BBC soap as Jo Cotton, long-lost wife of Rocky (Brian Conley).

She said: “It was scary going on set for the first time. Even though I’ve been in the business for 50 years it was still daunting and you do get nervous. I fluffed one of my lines five times.”
