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 CarteBlanche in hit 1980s comedy 'Allo 'Allo!, has joined the BBC soap as Jo Cotton, the 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.”
Vicki’s character Jo, who married Rocky over 25 years ago, spells trouble for the car dealer, who is engaged to Kathy Beale (Gillian Taylforth).
Vicki said: “Brian, Gillian and I are all pals but we were screaming and going mad at each other in character. We really let loose.
“We didn’t apologise after, we just had a laugh. Luckily, we are still friends after those scenes.”
