Eunice was one of the stunning ladies to strut their stuff in a bikini as they helped show off which prizes were up for grabs for contestants.
The programme was hosted by Nicholas Parsons, with up to 21 million viewers tuning in, and Arabella's mother appeared on it between 1978 and 1980.
She also had brief stints in two TV drama series, including crime comedy Boon.

Charlie took to his Instagram Story to share a series of messages that Arabella had sent him over the past few weeks, including ones begging him to go over to her house.
The hunk has claimed that the pair were still dating when she entered the ITV2 villa, with Arabella seemingly hinting that she was still with Charlie when she introduced herself to the other Islanders.
Lucie Donlan, who also dated Charlie in the past, was shocked to see her walk in, exclaiming: "I recognise you! You’re my ex’s ex. I’ve stalked you [on social media] before!"
Attentive viewers were left raising their eyebrows when Arabella replied: "Well, not ex", prompting speculation that the pair are still romantically involved.
