The 28-year-old, who played mechanic Scott Windsor for nine years, was axed from the ITV1 show in 2007 after being charged with rape in Barbados. He was eventually cleared of any wrongdoing after facing trial in October last year.
At the end of last year, Freeman met with soap chiefs to discuss a possible return, but a weekend tabloid claimed that producers had concluded that there was 'no room' for him to make a comeback to the show as 'storylines had moved on'.
However, a spokesperson for the soap today told DS: "There are no current plans for Ben to return to Emmerdale but it has not been ruled out in the future."
Freeman recently signed up to tour with the Bill Kenwright-produced musical Dreamboats and Petticoats.
