Vicki Michelle will say this only once – she reckons a revival of cheeky sitcom ’Allo ’Allo would be fantastique!
The star played Yvette Carte-Blanche on the classic comedy alongside the likes of Gorden Kaye, who played René Artois and Carmen Silvera who also starred as his wife Edith Artois.
The former I'm A Celeb star is absolutely convinced a reboot of the iconic BBC series would be a success.

She told the Daily Star: “The show would still work for television now. They would have to adjust it slightly.
“They could do it on stage again, too.
“At this precise moment I think we need the show. We need comedy.”
The programme was set during during the Second World War, between the occupation of France by German Axis powers, the BBC sitcom follows a French café owner in the town of Nouvion.
He dealt with problems from a dishonest German officer, local French Resistance, the handling of a stolen painting and a pair of trapped British airmen, all while concealing the affairs he was having with his waitresses from his wife.
But Vicki suggested the show should bring in new actors for the revamp, with some familiar show faces as “older versions” of hit characters.
Vicki, 72, added: “Sometimes I think the show might be too far in the past for people to love it. But it isn’t.
“People talk to me about it all the time. They say ‘Listen very carefully.. I bet you haven’t heard that before!’
“I’ve had people come up to me and give me a hug, smile and then run off. It was lovely.”
’Allo ’Allo is still repeated on TV, 31 years after its original run ended, and Vicki added: “Long may it run and long may it make people happy.”
Vicki was known for her flirtatious scenes and skimpy outfits as Yvette often got pulses racing.
The character was beloved with her bombshell appearance and flashes of her lace top stocking as she posed as a spy in the World War Two themed show.
