    The former ‘Allo ‘Allo! actress made her explosive debut last year as Brian Conley’s screen wife on the long-running soap.

    In an exclusive first look at MailOnline, Michelle made her shocking debut last April with a thrilling plot twist.

    With name-calling on the divorce papers and a message from ‘his boy’ Jasper, the new soap character brought an extra dose of drama to the show.

    Rocky Cotton (played by Brian, 61) was shocked when his estranged wife Jo made an unwelcome return to Albert Square.

    Vicki, who is best known for her role as Yvette Carte-Blanche in the BBC series ‘Allo! ‘Allo!, was first pictured on Albert Square when she joined the cast of EastEnders in February.
