Vicki Michelle says it was “really daunting” joining EastEnders but her co-stars helped her fit in by welcoming her with open arms.
She has been made to feel so at home that she joked the pub in the BBC soap was named after her, adding: “I’m the real Queen Vic.”
The actress, 72, who is best known for her role in sitcom ’Allo ’Allo!, said it has been great fun on EastEnders alongside the likes of Brian Conley and Gillian Taylforth.
