'Allo 'Allo star Vicki Michelle has said she plans to press charges after a bust-up on Celebrity Big Brother's Bit on The Side which saw the show taken off air on Tuesday night. 

Michelle, who appeared in the 1980s BBC wartime sitcom 'Allo 'Allo and who was famous in Ireland as Sally O'Brien in an ad for Harp, claims that US reality star and fellow panelist Farrah Abraham "struck the back of her head with great force" with a glass on the show.

The actress was involved in an argument between Abraham and glamour model Aisleyne Horgan-Wallace during Celebrity Big Brother's Bit On The Side on Tuesday night, and claims she was hit by a champagne glass thrown by Abraham. 

In a statement, Michelle's agent said: "Actress Vicki Michelle MBE is this morning with Hertfordshire police and will be pressing charges against Farrah Abraham, who struck the back of her head with great force with a glass during the recording of CBBBOTS this week.

"Vicki has been in show business for 40 years and has been left in deep shock and with concussion after the attack by Ms Abraham."

The spin-off show was taken off air when the fracas escalated. The on-air row began when Horgan-Wallace said she didn't miss Abraham being in the house. "She was just horrible," she said.

Abraham started slow-clapping and later said, "Hag, be quiet. Hag. be quiet."

Host Rylan Clark appealed to the panel to "calm down" as panellists Horgan-Wallace and Abraham were seen arguing furiously before a cut to a shot of the Celebrity Big Brother logo.
