Actress Vicki Michelle was caught up in an incident on Celebrity Big Brother's Bit On The Side (Rex)

Actress Vicki Michelle has said she wants to "press charges" against American television personality Farrah Abraham after she was reportedly struck on the back of her head "with a glass".

Ms Michelle, 64, claimed to BBC Newsbeat that she suffered a "concussion" during a row which took place on Celebrity Big Brother’s Bit On The Side on 22 September.

The incident meant that the show had to be taken off air 10 minutes ahead of schedule after an argument escalated between Aisleyne Horgan-Wallace and Farrah Abraham, with presenter Rylan Clark apologising to viewers once broadcasting resumed.

Farrah Abraham’s spokesperson claimed she was "assaulted twice" and was seen by a medic after suffering injuries.

The former Celebrity Big Brother contestant, who was evicted from the house last week, was seen trading insults on the panel with ex-Big Brother contestant Aisleyne Horgan-Wallace before the show was taken off air.
