Allo' Allo' actress Vicki Michelle has said that she is still having balance problems after being injured during an altercation on Celebrity Big Brother's Bit on the Side.
The 64-year old had a champagne flute thrown at her during a row between Farrah Abraham and Janice Dickinson, with Aisleyne Horgan-Wallace and Jenna Jameson also present (September 22).
"I'm really feeling rough and am having problems with balance," Michelle told The Mirror.
"I went to my doctor this morning and he said to me that it's a problematic side effect and I could feel like it for six weeks, and even then it could go on.

It feels like only yesterday that Gemma Collins was crying mascara stained tears while complaining of contracting malaria - but this year's I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here is now just a mere month away.
Last year's series saw Carl Fogarty crowned King of the Jungle. But which stars will be enduring the Australian kangaroo anus-eating adventures on the ITV show this year? Here's the rumoured line-up so far:
Stephanie Davis
Who? Former Hollyoaks actress who was recently axed due to being "unfit to work because of alcohol consumption".
The rumour: The 22-year-old is reportedly "hot property" as a number of reality shows try to sign her up, according to The Mirror's unnamed insider. The star - who played Sinead O'Conner for five years in the Channel 4 soap - is no stranger to TV competitions, previously taking part in Over the Rainbow - a BBC One talent...

The X Factor knows how to create drama. From the blast of 'O Fortuna' as Simon Cowell and his buddies enter the stage, to former voiceover man Peter Dickson hamming it up, they've got the atmosphere nailed.
One of the most exciting elements of the show will always be the big Sunday night eliminations, especially if the dreaded Deadlock comes into play. Most of the time, the judges get it right, but sometimes there are downright shocks. Here are the biggest to date, brought to you in association with TalkTalk's new Bopheads app:
1. Laura White (series 5)
Wigan lass Laura was tipped for X Factor success in 2008's early stages, but found herself in a tough girls group with the public's favourite indie fairy Diana Vickers and future victor Alexandra Burke. Even so, no-one expected her to leave as early as the fifth week, especially with Ricky Gervais lookalike Daniel Evans still knocking around.

Farrah Abraham and Janice Dickinson have been cautioned by police following a row which took Celebrity Big Brother's Bit on the Side off air last week.
Dickinson, Abraham, Aisleyne Horgan-Wallace, Jenna Jameson and Vicki Michelle were all present in the Channel 5 show's studio on Tuesday night (September 22) when an altercation took place. Allo Allo star Michelle was injured and required medical treatment after the incident.

"Officers from Hertfordshire Constabulary interviewed four people on September 25 in connection to allegations of assault at Elstree Studios on the evening of September 22.
"Enquiries in connection with another assault allegation continue, therefore it would be inappropriate to comment further at this time."
Both Dickinson and Teen Mom star Abraham were absent from Thursday night's Celebrity Big Brother finale.

Aisleyne Horgan-Wallace has said she feared getting cut by broken glass during last night's dramatic Celebrity Big Brother's Bit on the Side fracas (September 22).
The former Big Brother contestant and glamour model traded nasty insults with recent CBB evictee Abraham on the panel of the spin-off show before transmission was dramatically cut, allegedly because a fight broke out between the pair.
Fellow panellist Vicki Michelle was caught in the crossfire and went to hospital, with unconfirmed reports stating she was hit by flying glass. Freshly evicted housemates Janice Dickinson and Jenna Jameson were also present on the panel.
Speaking to The Mirror about the incident, Horgan-Wallace compared the altercation to a "western bar brawl", but did admit to throwing her drink at Abraham first, saying: "If I could have foreseen the future... I wouldn't have done it."

She may have been evicted from the Big Brother house last night (September 18), but Farrah Abraham is not letting that stop her from saying what's on her mind.
During last night's post-show breakdown on Celebrity Big Brother's Bit on the Side, it seemed the claws were out once again as Farrah and guest panellist Nicola McLean exchanged some choice words.
After showing an exclusive first-look clip of the house after Farrah's eviction, host Rylan Clark broached the topic of Jenna Jameson and who would be her new parter-in-crime, asking McLean if she thinks Jenna and Austin Armacost are the ones with their eyes on the prize now.
"Oh, 100 per cent," McLean shared. "I absolutely love Jenna, I really do. I flitted between a little bit, but I think now I've met Farrah, I do think it's Farrah's kind of influence on Jenna. I love Jenna, I think she's amazing and I love Austin too.

Are these extreme close-ups some sort of test for how claustrophobic the housemates will feel in front of Big Brother's prying eye over the next few weeks?
This followed a snap of a glamorously made-up celebrity's eye, captioned with the question: "Any idea...? #CBB"

Big Brother is just around the corner - we have an eye, a theme and a launch date! But while we're excited about that, it also means Celebrity Big Brother is drawing ever closer, so our thoughts naturally turned to who might be heading into the house this summer.
We've already heard that we're in for a UK vs Us theme this series, but that's nothing without housemates, so we've rounded up the rumours - from the likely to the... not at all likely. Read on to see who might be popping in...

Who? "The world's first supermodel", Janice used to be a very outspoken judge on America's Next Top Model. She's been on I'm a Celebrity, and also hit the headlines recently after alleging that Bill Cosby sexually assaulted her.

Speaking to Rylan Clark on Big Brother's Bit on the Side, Brian was immediately asked how he was feeling the day after his getaway.
"I'm okay now," he smiled. "I'm good. I knew that that situation was an unhealthy situation to be in, so I needed to take myself away from it. Now I'm right as rain, Rylan."
Brian had numerous confrontations with Helen Wood and Marc O'Neill during his time in the house, and left following Helen's accusation that Brian looked like a "murderer slash rapist".

Alexander O'Neal has revealed his reasoning for quitting Celebrity Big Brother following his dramatic departure over the weekend.
The singer became embroiled in two unpleasant confrontations with showbiz blogger Perez Hilton, which resulted in a formal warning from Big Brother over O'Neal's use of an offensive term.
Speaking to CBB host Emma Willis on Celebrity Big Brother's Bit On The Side, Alexander revealed why he walked, saying: "I did it for myself and for my housemates."
He added that "the stress became unbearable" prior to his exit, and was subsequently forced to accept that the 'Perez problem' was not going to go away.
But Alexander is not the only disgruntled celebrity housemate to voluntarily leave, and we doubt he'll be the last.
Some, like Claire King, withdrew from the show due to illness, while others have been removed by producers.

Pratt responded: "I actually said I love you as a friend, you said 'I love you' and we'd see in five years. The night I left, you got into Edele's bed.

Celebrity Big Brother star Jasmine Waltz has hit out at Casey Batchelor for "throwing herself" at Lee Ryan.
Blue singer Lee has been involved in a love triangle with Casey and evicted housemate Jasmine, and has since grown closer to Casey in recent days.
Jasmine has now blasted Lee for his lack of "self-control" since her departure, and is now unsure if they can get together after he leaves the house.
Last night's (January 21) show saw Lee and Casey spooning in bed, while Casey jokingly offered him sexual favours.
On Big Brother's Bit on the Side, Jasmine told host Emma Willis: "I kind of feel sorry for her at this point. She's just trying so hard and throwing herself all over him.
"It's just sad that her confidence is so low that she'd continue to be so desperate for his attention after everything that's happened."

During an appearance on Celebrity Big Brother's Bit on the Side to be aired tonight (January 7) on Channel 5, Hopkins slates every housemate apart from controversial comic Jim Davidson.

Meanwhile, Blue's Lee Ryan is labelled "out of shape, not beautiful" and "unfit and greasy", while Dappy is supposedly "'just revolting". Hopkins adds of the N-Dubz singer: "I'm not one for short people, ginger people or fat people."
