Linda Robson has denied reports that she had a huge fallout with her Birds of a Feather co-star Pauline Quirke.
The comedy returned for a one-off Christmas special last year but Quirke - part of the show since it started in 1989 - was notably absent.
A tabloid report alleged that Quirke snubbed the episode following a huge row with Robson, her friend for over 50 years, outside a portaloo on set.
"Take no notice of what you've heard about me and Pauline falling out. It's a load of old codswallop," Robson told The Sun.
"Pauline just chose not to do Birds Of A Feather. She wants to concentrate on her acting academy, that's that.
"We've known each other since we were ten. We're friends. Will Pauline return to the show? I don't know.
"I just know that the Christmas special went down really well. ITV were really, really pleased."
In the Christmas special the absence of Quirke's character Sharon was explained as her being stuck in quarantine on a cruise ship due to coronavirus.
