Michelle Ryan at the National Movie Awards 2010

EastEnders bosses have denied reports that Michelle Ryan is reprising her role as Zoe Slater.

Earlier today, a Sunday newspaper claimed that Ryan was being lined up for a Christmas special and was "excited" over possible storylines with Jessie Wallace and Shane Richie.

However, a BBC spokesperson dismissed the speculation this morning, telling Digital Spy that there are no plans for Zoe to make a comeback.

Ryan made her final appearance in EastEnders back in 2005 and she has ruled out a return on a number of occasions.
