Vicki Michelle MBE (born 14 December 1950) is an English actress. She is best known for her role as Yvette Carte-Blanche in the BBC television comedy series 'Allo 'Allo! and as a recurring character Patricia Foster in the ITV soap opera Emmerdale.
Her father was a fish-trader and her mother an actress. She attended Knewnham Junior School in Wanstead and West Hatch Technical High School. After O-levels she stayed on at school to complete a secretarial course. Hoping to become a ballet dancer she joined the Aida Foster stage school.
Michelle was given small television roles while still at stage school, the first being in Dixon of Dock Green. She appeared in big-screen versions of popular English sitcoms The Likely Lads and George and Mildred, and played alongside her sister Ann Michelle in the British horror film Virgin Witch and with Joan Collins in Alfie Darling, the sequel to Alfie. She also appeared regularly in the 1970s children's BBC TV series Crackerjack. More recently, she played the role of Amanda Newman in the 2010 TV film Resentment, and she was Deborah Whitton in the 2013 rom com The Callback Queen. In the early 1980s she appeared in some high-profile advertisements for Harp Lager; the slogan was "Sally O'Brien and the way she might look at you", and there was surprise when it was discovered that the actress playing the Irish character Sally O'Brien was English, but with an Irish grandparent. Also at this time she had small parts in Minder and The Professionals and in 2007, she appeared in a Children in Need special of Hotel Babylon and, the following year, appeared on BBC's cookery programme Celebrity MasterChef.
