Actress Vicki Michelle has revealed that she could have been blinded after she was caught in the cross fire during an explosive row on Celebrity Big Brother's spin-off show.

Michelle, 64, was treated at the scene by paramedics after she claimed ex contestant Farrah Abraham threw a champagne glass which struck her on the head.

Speaking about the incident, which took place on Celebrity Big Brother's Bit On The Side after Tuesday nights live double eviction, the 'Allo 'Allo! actress told the Daily Mirror: "I’m in complete and utter shock, she could have blinded me.

"If I had been looking the other way I could have got it full in the face, she could have blinded me. It was awful.

"She whacked the glass hard like a discus. It was the base of the glass and it shattered in my hair."

The incident kicked off after reality star Abraham told Aisleyne Horgan-Wallace: "Hag be quiet".

The broadcast was temporarily cut short as a fight broke out.

A Channel 5 spokesman confirmed the show was pulled off, saying: “Celebrity Big Brother’s Bit On The Side was interrupted this evening due to an incident on the set.”

Shortly before the show was cut short Horgan Wallace appeared to reach for a glass, but Michelle has confirmed that she did not throw it.

"Things started getting heated, Farrah turned round and called her a ‘hag,’ then Aisleyne threw her glass of Cava over Farrah and Me," she said.

“Then Farrah lobbed two glasses, I got one so hard in the back of my head that my head went forward and back. It smashed on the back of my head."

A spokesperson for Teen Mom star Abraham said she was assaulted, but did not disclose a name.

“Farrah was assaulted twice and received medical attention both last night and today as a result of injuries caused by one of the assaults," they said.

"The matter has now been passed on to Farrah’s lawyer to handle."

Hertfordshire police are investigating the incident and Michelle is considering whether to press charges.

A statement read: "Hertfordshire Constabulary received a report at 10.55pm on the evening of Tuesday September 22 regarding an incident which is alleged to have occurred in the Elstree Studios in Borehamwood.

"The incident occurred a short time before the call. Officers are currently making inquiries to establish the exact circumstances of what happened and will release further details when appropriate."
